Brick Yard Families + Online Ministry + Baptism

Dear family in Christ,

PAKISTAN

A few days ago my team in Pakistan went to visit the 25 families working in the brick yards. The team put a lot of preparation in this project.

They have bought many winter coats secondhand, then washed them all and packed them looking like brand new jackets. They then went on to purchase then went on to purchase many all the needed supplies and packaged them for each family.

They have spend a few days on site to get to know the families better, to ask them their story, having a prayer meeting and a teaching time about the Beatitudes from Matthew 5.

Here’s a small selection of photos:

AFGHANISTAN

We have been going strong with our online video in Persian! Together with our ‘sister in Christ’ we have been putting out videos daily with encouraging gospel messages and bible verses. We’ve gathered over 1000 followers so far on TikTok! We’ve also received many encouraging comments from other Afghans who have been relocated already.

We’ve now also recorded the gospel of John in Persian for our YouTube channel, so people can now listen to the gospel message in the soothing voice of our sister.

Even if you don’t understand the language, check it out! Gospel of John

God brough a man in our live in Merritt who’s having a hard time, moved to Merritt about a month ago and is staying at the shelter at the moment. We’ve had the change to talk about the gospel and why we need to accept that we are broken but that Jesus came to die for us, so we might have life.

Then by accident I met a team in Tim Hortons that’s on their way to Kamloops for a baptism event, while we’re sitting there with our new friend. So, he accepted God’s forgiveness through the blood of Jesus, we all prayed for him and later that day we drove to Kamloops as well and had the privilege of baptizing our new brother in Christ!

What a blessed week it has been! All glory to God in Jesus’ name. Amen.
