Bihar Mission Report from October 2012 to September 2013.

“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” (Isaiah 6: 8 )

  We greet you with thanks in the name of Jesus, the Saviour of the world.  I thank all of you for your generous help knowing that your efforts won’t go without reward.  “Without some preaching……..unless they are sent” (Romans 10: 14 & 15) let us all together build the kingdom of God.

It is impossible to build the kingdom of God with few, here the needs are more, people who are in darkness are moving towards hell. Who is going to stop them standing in the gates of hell?  Why couldn’t it be you?

Some want to live within the range of Church Bell.   But we being out of range of church bell, making to hear the church bell.  Why don’t you give us a helping hand?  May God bless you and give you the grace which He had given to the Churches of Macedonia.
