Support their ministry here!<\/a><\/strong><\/span> In January, a twelve-day tour in India took me (Russell) from Delhi to Hyderabad to Vizakhapatnam to Srikakulam and back, and included strategic leaders’ meetings, pastors’ conferences, local church ministry, and more. Every stop showed evidence of God working through faithful ministers to make disciples and plant churches in spite of hardships and obstacles.<\/p>\n At the annual South India pastors’ conference in Hyderabad, more than a dozen pastors came forward to pledge financial support for a new missions outreach. There are more than 2,000 unreached people groups in India, encompassing 90% of the population. Our South India pastors are making sacrificial efforts to get the gospel to these areas.<\/p>\n In spite of last-minute itinerary changes, large numbers of believers showed up at every stop for hastily-arranged meetings, eager to worship the Lord and listen to His Word. In Srikakulam, dozens of chairs had to be set up in the street to accommodate the overflow crowds on a Tuesday night. Songs of praise filled the evening air and carried to neighboring shops and homes.<\/p>\n We had the privilege of visiting several village churches, where pastors and their families are pioneering works in primitive and resistant areas. In one location, local children came to bless us by singing praise songs they had learned in church. In another location, believers spontaneously assembled during our afternoon stopover, and we held an impromptu service of worship and teaching.<\/p>\n In the village of Kosta, believers are pitching in to donate materials and labor to construct a new brick church to replace the old wooden and leaf structure. Even the Hindu village elders have contributed, in gratitude for the blessing the church has been to the community. Pastor Rao raises up and trains church planters, who have started four daughter churches in nearby villages.<\/p>\n FAREWELL TO A PIONEER MISSIONARY<\/strong><\/p>\n Rev. Samuel Lamanilao, a truly apostolic leader highlighted in our last newsletter, went to be with the Lord on December 15th. We thank the Lord that Russell was able to be with him in the hospital at his sudden passing at age 47. With faith and courage, Sammy answered the call of God to leave his home in the Philippines to pioneer a new work in Cambodia. In spite of hardship and opposition, he ran his race with faithfulness and perseverance. He leaves behind much fruit in the form of new churches, multiplied disciples, and trained leaders.<\/p>\n POINTS FOR PRAYER<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Pray for mission efforts targeting the tens of thousands of unreached villages in India. by Russell & Sandra Board Support their ministry here!

Cada parada mostr\u00f3 evidencia de Dios trabajando a trav\u00e9s de los ministros fieles a hacer disc\u00edpulos y plantar iglesias, a pesar de las dificultades y obst\u00e1culos. En la conferencia de pastores anuales sur de la India 'en Hyderabad, m\u00e1s de una docena de pastores se acercaron a prometer apoyo financiero para un nuevo alcance misionero. Hay m\u00e1s de 2.000 grupos de personas marginadas en la India, que abarca el 90% de la poblaci\u00f3n. Nuestros pastores sur de la India est\u00e1n haciendo esfuerzos de sacrificio para obtener el Evangelio a estas \u00e1reas. A pesar de los cambios de itinerario de \u00faltimo minuto, un gran n\u00famero de creyentes se presentaron en cada parada para reuniones organizadas apresuradamente-, deseosos de adorar al Se\u00f1or y escuchar su Palabra. En Srikakulam, decenas de sillas tuvieron que ser instalado en la calle para dar cabida a la multitud de desbordamiento en un martes por la noche. Cantos de alabanza llenaron el aire de la noche y se llevaron a las tiendas y las casas vecinas. Tuvimos el privilegio de visitar varias iglesias de los pueblos, donde los pastores y sus familias son trabajos pioneros en \u00e1reas primitivas y resistentes. En un solo lugar, los ni\u00f1os locales llegaron a bendecirnos cantando canciones de alabanza que hab\u00edan aprendido en la iglesia. En otro lugar, los creyentes se reunieron espont\u00e1neamente durante nuestra escala de la tarde, y nos llevaron a cabo un servicio improvisada de culto y la ense\u00f1anza. En el pueblo de Kosta, los creyentes est\u00e1n lanzando en donar materiales y mano de obra para la construcci\u00f3n de una nueva iglesia de ladrillo para reemplazar la antigua estructura de madera y hoja. Incluso los ancianos de las aldeas hind\u00faes han contribuido, en agradecimiento por la bendici\u00f3n de la iglesia ha sido la de la comunidad. Pastor Rao levanta y forma a los plantadores de iglesias, que han comenzado cuatro iglesias hijas en los pueblos cercanos. Adi\u00f3s a un pionero de las misiones<\/strong> Rev. Samuel Lamanilao, un l\u00edder verdaderamente apost\u00f3lica de relieve en el \u00faltimo bolet\u00edn, fue a estar con el Se\u00f1or el 15 de diciembre. Agradecemos al Se\u00f1or que Russell fue capaz de estar con \u00e9l en el hospital de su repentino fallecimiento a los 47 a\u00f1os Con fe y valor, Sammy respondi\u00f3 a la llamada de Dios a salir de su casa en las Filipinas para promover un nuevo trabajo en Camboya.
