Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!!!
We apologize for the delay in giving you an update on the ministry...but God has been doing some wonderful works in our lives!
He has opened the door for us to preach (and be a help) at Wild Game Feasts from Arkansas to Ohio. And they were such blessings to us!
During the month of January God began making some changes in our lives...yes, noticeable life changes!
In January our church Lee’s Chapel Baptist Church had a Missions Conference. At this conference, on Sunday morning, they voted to give $21,000.00 to start a Bible College in India. This work would be overseen by Bro. Christopher Gowdiperu, a national Pastor there. We were so excited about it! God also increased the amount that morning by $1000.00 that a church member gave!
We talked with Bro. Christopher and told him about it. He was so very overwhelmed that God had done such a thing! This has been a ministry God has placed in his heart to do for many years.
The next week we were on vacation and talked much about the happenings of the Sunday service. During that time God revealed to us that He wanted us, also, to do a work in India. He was leading us to help with the Lee’s Chapel Baptist Bible College in India! Oh, how exciting and yet frightening! See….we have grown children and grandchildren, family, and friends that we are extremely close to…and we have a church that we dearly love and cherish and have for almost 18 years! But it was truly evident to us that God was calling us into this ministry….and willingly we have accepted the call to go!
God has laid on our hearts to continue to do the “Ain’t God Good Ministries” fishing ministry. We know that God has called us into this work also. Our plans are to do this work during the time we are in the United States.
We plan to go to India up to 6 months of the year. We have named that branch of the ministry “Ain’t God Good India Ministries”. In this part of the ministry we plan to work in raising the support to complete the Bible College and also in the future to help in planting churches.
God is moving in ways that have amazed us! The land for the college was going to cost from $5000.00 to $20,000.00 but God has already provided it for us...and at no charge!! Bro. Christopher contacted a local Doctor and told him of the need for property. This Doctor was Hindu and has converted to Christianity. He heard that it was to be used for the work of God and said that God had told him to give the land!! What a mighty God we serve!!!
These are some of the needs that we have for the Ain’t God Good India Ministries:
1. Prayers - We are ever in need of your prayers for us and the ministry that we will be sensitive to the direction of God in all we do!
2. Support - It will take much more than the $22,000.00 to build the Bible College. We are going to be raising support for the building and also for the maintaining of the needs for the college on a continuous basis. We are going to not only be teaching the Pastors...but we are also planning to give them meals while they are attending classes.
We are truly excited about all that the Lord is doing...and we are thankful and feel so very privileged that God has chosen us to do His work!
Ain’t God Good!!!
