Dear friends,
Greetings to you from Amman.
We're grateful to God that He keeps bringing people to the church, so that we can share the Gospel with them, support them spiritually and materially, and when they go to a new country, they will have God's precious gift in their lives.
The ministry has been serving about 150 families, and just in the last week, 45 more families arrived. We're thankful because they know the church by word of mouth, and it shows that people are responding positively to the Gospel and the help we're providing. Of course, it also means the already overstretched finances are becoming more stretched. But we continue to serve with our faith in God and His abundance, for He never leaves His children alone.
Every time they tell me their stories, I'm saddened by the prosecution they've experienced. But I'm also grateful for those who've reached Jordan, because many others did not manage to. Both Christians and Muslims alike are in a dire situation in Iraq, and they need our prayers and support very much.
I will be going to Gaza in October or November to serve the community there. As it's been reported in the news, the Egyptian government has opened the Rafah crossing. But the situation in Gaza remains very difficult because goods are not allowed to go through Rafah. Regardless, we will keep supporting the people in Gaza, regardless of their faith, as long as we're able.
We're also hoping to restart the Bethlehem Bible College extension in Gaza, for we're commanded by God to share the Gospel in any situation.
Please pray:
- for Christian Iraqi refugees who continue to come to Jordan;
- for Christians in Iraq who remains there and under daily threat of prosecution;
- for people in Gaza who are still suffering;
- for the re-start of Bible College's extension in Gaza;
- that I will be able to travel to Gaza through Rafah to reach the people there with God's love;
- for my sister Renee who have been in the hospital for bad bleeding, thank God she is back home now;
- for my family, Joyce is now in Grade 1 and Jolene in KG2.
Thank you so much for your faithful support of the work God is doing through Christian Mission to Gaza.
If you are able to send a special gift at this time to help support the ministry, it would be deeply appreciated.
