The
Lord's Arm in not shortened.
When we go
into the mission field, we are aware that unless God adds a
blessing to His Word, our trip will have
been useless. Please pray whenever you hear that
missionaries from your Foreign Mission are in the field, that
God would make the Word come alive, and that He would open
the ears and hearts of the people so they can
be filled, encouraged, humbled, uplifted, caused to repent,
or whatever else the Lord sees fit for each individual.
Who hath believed our
report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD
revealed? Isaiah 53:1
Below is a sample letter of the many that are received after each
mission trip. We thank the Lord for His Holy Word,
and Salvation through Jesus Christ! This is
the Bread of Life, and the Living Water! Oh, that
many more people would hear, "Come and
Dine", and never hunger or thirst again!
From Lahore
Pakistan
Dear
Brother Robert M. .....
Greetings
We are fine and
hope in God that you will be fine by the Grace of God. We are
missing you very much and pray for you that God bless you more to
more for His work. I remember you and your good teaching. Really
Brother, I have got much blessing through your teaching. and now I
have desire to go in villages to proclaim the messages, which you
tought us. I have learned much more about the Doctrine of Grace.
Gospel teaching and about Good Samaritan and the other
message about the 10 virgins.
Brother I love
your great teaching. I want to learn more to more about the Word of
God. Now we will go in Kilns, where people makes the bricks,
although this place is so far away from Lahore, but we will hire a
Motorbike for this trip and preach the Gospel among them, because
we have to win the souls for Jesus Christ.
Please pray for
us and our ministry.
God bless
you
Your Brother,
Pastor John M. (Names
omitted for safety)
We surely do desire that more and more people become involved in
one way or another in the work in His Vineyard!
> It is time to sign up for the fall and next winters round of
mission trips! You will need some time to go through
mission training, save some money, and become engaged with the
mission in other ways before you leave on your trip.
And he said
unto them, Go ye into
all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.... Mark 16:15

Please email foreignmission@comcast.net to
express interest in taking a mission trip, or to help your foreign
mission in whatever other ways you see fit.

Onward
Christian Soldier!!
There are so many places to preach, but so little
time and so few resources. However we know that all the mission
work the Lord wants done, will get done! We just pray that He
allows us to be part of it. Along this amazing pathway He leads
us on, He shows us so many wonderful hearts and smiles. A few
of these are pictured below!

Meet Emma! She is a
Kenyan with the most beautiful smile!
She is from the Masai Tribe. She worships with her mother
under a big tree whenever services can be arranged.

Meet Annita. She is
living at the ALC Home in India and is supported by a U.S.
Sponsor. Thanks to this and the wonderful care of Pastor
K. and Ruth, she can live a life of peace, get to learn of
Jesus, and get a better education.
