Dear Saints, 

Greetings in the sweetest name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are very much grateful for your prayers and encouraging words through your mail. The Lord has been leading us every day, a step at a time. The developments around the world are giving us wake up call that we do not have much time before us. You all are aware of severe earthquake that hit a poor country Nepal, with thousands dead, many not accounted for. God is speaking to us, we hope we go the message. Many of us are busy with our own lives, and keep on thanking God for all the blessings, and not disturbing our comfort zones. Can we just stop and look at the hand of God, instead of striking some rich nation, where people do not want God, why is He hitting the poor nations? Is He just? What kind of a personality is He? Does He not love everyone the same way? Does He love man? 

Today there are many who are leaving the Church because they are offended at God, because things are no working the way they want to. We need to realize that we are not serving a God who will do what we tell Him to do. Dan 4:35 is a clear warning for us. 

"And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?"

He is the Creator, and He has created all things with a plan and purpose, He will do what He has set out to do from the first day, He never changes His plans. He never commits mistakes. Man walked out of the Garden thinking that He could walk on his own. God has given him the time to walk and to prove to himself that he can not walk on his own, and the time is fast approaching when the Dispensation of Grace is about to be over and the Church is going to be caught up. He has not created us to be comfortable here on this earth, we have been created to be His heirs, His sons, His bride, that is the high calling for us. 

Therefore it is high time, we grow up and start thinking as Heirs, sons, Bride. Many a times, we just sit and are grateful for all that God has done. We need to be grateful, but just being grateful is not going to work, we need to grow up and be mature and be like Him. He did not pay the price on the Cross, so that He can end up with a people who are just grateful, but His desire is for The Bride. May the Lord help us all to grow up. What a privilege we have that we can have a relationship with out Master, Our Creator. 

Trusting on God we have started our first Mission trip of the year 2015. We left our base Bhopal on the 16th of May and now we are in Sarsiva, Chattisgarh Province. This trip is taking us to 10 states (Provinces). A travel of more than 8,000 Kms and nearly 45 days. We need your prayers as we are driving through the Eastern and Northern Provinces of India. The schedule is as follows

  • May 17 - 19 - Sarsiva, Dhabra, Suloni (Chattisgarh)
  • May 20 - 24 - Hattia, Ranchi (Jharkhand)
  • May 26 - 31 - Dimapur (Nagaland), Shillong (Meghalaya)
  • June 3 - 4 -    Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh)
  • June 6 - 7 -    Farukhabad, Shahjahanpur (Utar Pradesh)
  • June 9 - 11 -  Sadora (Haryana)
  • June 12 - 14 - Delhi
  • June 15 - 17 - Gharyala (Punjab)
  • June 18 - 21 - Kala Afghana (Punjab)
  • June 22 - 24 - Dhariwal (Punjab)
  • June 25 - 28 - Jammu (Jammu & Kashmir)

The journey is long and very risky, we have to travel through forests that are infested by the Maoists terrorists. Pray that God may give us the wisdom and we may go where He wants us to go. Pray for these provinces where the door for the Gospel is nearly shut. In Chattisgarh, we are not able to conduct meetings in the Churches also, people have been split into small groups and we are taking Bible classes for them. Majority of them are paying a very heavy price for the faith. Lot of persecution is there. But we thank God that in spite of the fiery furnace, people are standing up for the faith and we can see the glow of the presence of God on their faces. Pray that they may be rooted more in the faith. 

The third year students of Hebron School of Pioneer Evangelism have gone to Nepal for two months of mission work. A total of 18 students have gone to the mountains of Nepal under the leadership of Amol Zedek. They have to walk long distances, travel on buses. Pray for them that their lives be a blessings to the ones they minister to. They will be living with the believers who live up the high mountains, many of them have to walk for 2-3 days. They will be back in the first week of July. 

In closing, we once again thank you all for your prayers and support. May the Lord richly bless you all. Because of busy schedule I am not able to respond to your mails in time. Hope you can understand. May the Lord bless you all. 

Yours in His Service

Mathew Samuel
