September Foreign Mission Monthly News

Endeavoring to obey the Word of our Lord...Go ye into all the lands and preach the Gospel to every creature.

From India...

Here is a Facebook update from missionary Dennis Hilman, currently serving in India:

O, SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG! Special services in the village of Munamurra today (at a Lutheran church built in the 40's). I spoke on Psalm 96. Tenth time I've spoken in the ten days I have been here. All thanks to God! Lots of people of all ages came forward for special prayers and blessing after the sermon. (NOTE COUNTRY I'M FROM: Must've known I was just in from England!)

Find more updates from Dennis Hilman by checking out the Foreign Mission blog or his Facebook page!

Word from the field:

I request you please help me to buy 200 Urdu Bibles then I could be able to distribute among them. You already know about the cost of one Bible $ 5.00. Please prayerfully consider about it. We pray for you and your all efforts for our ministry work. God make it possible for you that you come and preach the Gospel among those people, who are unknown about Jesus Christ...

God bless you,
Pastor John Feroze Masih (Pakistan)
