Sri Lanka Propagation Report for August
During last month God was continuing to propagate Himself within our being and in this country. We entered into the HWMR of 2014 ITRO, the word of God is our great supply, message one told us:Every believer should be a “little New Jerusalem.” and every local church should be a miniature of the New Jerusalem, we must give the first place to the Lord in our personal life, family life, and church life, so that we can enjoy the flow of the river of water of life, and be brought to the throne of God.
Sri lanka is our good land that the Lord gave to us, here we enjoy the all-inclusive Christ every day, and we also announce such a wonderful one by preaching gospel to others. In August we continued to share the gospel to campus students, we do believe that the Lord already opened the door of gospel in this campus, last month there were 8(5 students)got baptism. Bro.Sherone and sis.Jeeva are Roman cothlic background, we shared the truth of believing and be baptized in Mark16:16, when they heard the pure word of the Bible, they were willing to practice the truth, bro.Sherone asked: can I be baptized here today? Praise the Lord, they all were baptized gladly. Another 3 new ones were Buddhist background, the first year of the university, although their English are not good, but we shared the gospel message to them slowly and leaded them to call upon the name of the Lord, the Lord touched their spirit, finally they all got baptism in the same day.
The gospel in community also advanced last month, we gained 2 new families, one house is just in the opposite of campus, mother and son got saved from Hindu background, we hope that this house can be opened for the campus work in the future through our shepherding.
In September we will pay much attention to shepherding the new ones. The first step we take is that we will lead them to call on Lord’s name for the purpose of exercising and releasing their spirit, and then we will pray-read the Bible verses with them, we use “Handbook of the Growth of Life for Christians” from Church in Kaohsiung, there are total 30 verses regarding to 10 aspects of the growth of divine life. These words are like the milk and daily bread for the new born babies, they can drink and eat it every day by pray-reading.
On Aug 15~17 we had a 3 days national blending conference in Nuwara Eliya, more than 80 local saints and 25 oversea saints joined this blending. We got into the new believer HWMR message 7~12, Lord’s word is so rich to us, after brothers’ speaking, everyone was active to share their enjoyment, praise the Lord.
Please continue to pray for God’s move in Jaffna campus, may the Lord gain a group of young people in Srilanka, they can consecrate their whole life to the Lord for His wonderful economy.
Prayer request for September: Pray for the shepherding of 10 new ones and 3 new home meetings so that they can be the remaining fruits.
In Christ
Serving ones
