A Time For Hope

A New Book From ANM Press
Imagine pastoring a church just a short distance from Ground Zero in New York. Imagine having to deal with the sorrow, horror and shock that followed the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Imagine having to help put lives back together again, and trying to make sense of it all. For Dave Epstein this was not something he had to imagine. He lived it. He is the pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in New York. In the aftermath of 9/11 Pastor Epstein delivered a seres of messages to his congregation offering spiritual and emotional insight and help, and the love of God. This book contains these addresses. Pastor Epstein brings the timeless message of the...

Bills Barbecue, American Indians and ANM

Bill's Barbecue is a Richmond tradition. Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia's capital you naturally learned to love this typical southern fare. Delicious minced barbecue sandwiches, homemade limeades, and chocolate pie. Yummy. So when the Media Department recently took a field trip to Richmond for day of R & R after a busy season in the offices, I really wanted us to eat at Bill's.
Our field trip was wonderful. We were able to see some of the history and variety of Richmond. We enjoyed a wonderful time of good fellowship. And, yes, we got to eat at Bill's Barbecue. That in itself proved to be an adventure. Our Director for A-V ministry,...

Our Prayers Were Answered

OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED FOR...
A Tractor and A Roof!
Many of you received an email communication the beginning of last month (and you may have received the newsletter) concerning a need for Williams and Naomi Yindi from Unreached Peoples' Mission. We are delighted to report to you the good results from that appeal, all of which came together in less than two months.
God provided the funds to purchase the much needed tractor as well as the steel trusses to complete the church roof--which has been roofless for over three years. The Yindis also needed 400 chairs, file cabinets, musical instruments, chalk boards, soccer balls, vitamins, transformers, and several...

Woman Delivered From Curse

A testimony from Maharashtra Village Ministries
One of our many testimonies comes from Praful N. Swanker:
“My home was in turmoil. Our neighbors had a disagreement with my mother and cast an evil spirit on her. Each day her health deteriorated a little more. Priests and doctors offered no relief. An uncle suggested that we take her to the local missionary because he had heard that the name of Jesus was powerful. Desperate for deliverance from the clutches of this evil, the whole family began to attend the church fellowship run by Maharashtra Village Ministries' missionary Suresh Mohure. Through their compassion and prayer, mother was totally delivered and healed! As a result,...

Medical Ministry Needs a New Vehicle

Would you consider helping Philippine Gospel Association (PGA) purchase a new ministry vehicle for their medical outreaches? Take a look at project #504 on our project page (for more information) and also go to our Southeast Asia tab and check out PGA's page. The cost for this new vehicle is $15,000.00 but if many join in to help reach the goal, this ministry team could be using their new ministry vehicle in a short amount of time. The photo posted is one style of vehicle and PGA has decided to purhase a Kia L270 that seats 19 people. UPDATE: The ministry has collected $1458.25 and now they only need 13541.75 to be able to purchase this vehicle....

The Story of St. Patrick

He was from a religious background, but not particularly religious himself. He committed the typical sins of the youths of his time. He was kidnapped at the age of 16, and sold into slavery. He was taken to a land far from his home where he was forced to serve a cruel master for six long years. Then, he made a bold escape. He managed a journey of 200 miles on foot to the coast of the sea. And there he found a miraculous deliverance from the land of his servitude! Does this sound like the plot of a Hollywood film? Maybe it should be, but it's not. It is part of the story of Patrick of Ireland. Patrick was a man who...

Tribal Chief Finds Christ

Nine years ago we at NLM showed the Jesus film to members of the Yalmo tribe in Darjeeling. A chief of this tribe named C.B. Khati was adamantly against Christianity and was even successful in reconverting Christians back to Hinduism by performing Hindu rituals. In June of 2010 he called our pastor in the area for prayer because he was suffering from extreme sugar diabetes problems. The pastor saw him, prayed for him and then returned home.Three days later he called the pastor back saying, "My wife and I want to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. I'm not going to live much longer and before I leave this world I want to be saved. I know that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth,...

The Restoration of Rosy

A girl named Rosy married a hard-working yound man and they had two beautiful children. For ten years they lived happily in peace until Rosy's husband began drinking in 2009. It did not take long for the habit to affect his whole family. Frequent fights broke out his new addiction left Rosy and the children without their basic needs. One night an argument broke out as usual. In a rage, Rosy's husband grabbed a knife and drove it into her throat, severing her vocal cords. He then did the same to himself, as kids were crying in the background. Paramedics arrived, and emergency surgeries were performed on both of them. While she was in the hospital a "man" came into her room and told her...

No Longer Abandoned

God used a woman in our church to rescue her nephew named Chui. Shortly after his birth, Chui's mother dumped him at his grandma's house, and she was never heard from again. When Chui was four-years-old his grandmother suddenly died and he was left homeless. By the young age of eight he was addicted to cocaine. When he turned 13, he was taken to a rehabilitation jail. However, when he was ready to be released at age 18, there was no home to go to and no one to take him. Feeling abandoned he began cutting himself and he tried to escape. For punishment he was put in a cooler cell for three months! In November his aunt who is a member of our church, went to get him. The following Sunday, she brought...

A Second Chance from God

I am Pastor Sellry Eli Pioquinto. I came to GEBS when I was a boy. My aunt took me here and I said then, "When I grow up I would study here." However, being an only child, I was overprotected by my parents. After high school I studied in different secular schools in Bacolod City but did not finish because I knew God had called me to the ministry. I enrolled in Doane Baptist Seminary with sufficient support but i abused God's blessings. In my third year I was disciplined. In defiance, I left the seminary, went to Manila and stayed away from the Lord. For seven years I wasted my time and lived in the world. But I praise God that whomever He loves, He chastens. I returned home repentant and...

Knitting Hats for Jesus

We have been blessed and encouraged so much by Carolyn, a sweet, industrious widow who continues to knit hats for the warehouse. The first time she called us, she told us she had “lots of hats” and was wondering if we could use them. When we went to pick them up we were blown away! We loaded boxes and boxes of “hats for Jesus” into the mission van.
Imagine our surprise and delight when we began counting them and discovered she had knit just under two thousand colorful, attractive hats! Two hundred went into the Middle East container and the majority went on the Republic of Georgia container to warm the heads of many adults and...

A garage sale is another good tool for your ministry, group or organization to use for raising funds. This idea comes from a church in Maryland and is supplied by a staff member here at Advancing Native Missions (Thank you JoAnne). Their church did this annually to raise funding for their missions outreach. The idea is to sell space to people in the community who are interested in participating in a neighborhood garage sale. You make money on the spaces sold but you also have members of the church or organization donate items that will also be sold with all proceeds going to missions.
The method used was to also combine the sale with a family fun day...

To her surprise, the lady, Sahar, told Mona that she and her husband, Issa, had already met Christ but had no one to help them grow as believers. Sahar asked Mona if someone could teach and disciple them. Mona arranged for two Elam graduates to meet with Sahar and Issa every two weeks. Each time they met, other members of their family joined them, and each time two people came to faith in Christ - a father, sister, mother,...

Mankind was meant to fill the earth and subdue it. It was God’s command. Yet the post flood inhabitants seemed to want to stay in one place and make a name for themselves.
"So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the...

A Native Missionary Looks At Diwali

Diwali is the "festival of lights" that originated with Hinduism but is now celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs. The festival honors several religious events. It also pays homage to Lakshmi, the consort of the Hindu God Vishnu.
This year, 2010, Diwali begins on Friday, November 5. The festival lasts for five days, and is a national holiday in India.
Diwali is a good time to remember that as Christians we honor the true Light of the World--Jesus Christ. He is the Light that has come to every man, bringing the shining truth of the Gospel and liberating brillance of the message of His sacrificial life and death.

Looking for a cool way to raise support for a mission project? Is your youth group, church or family willing to work to provide income to meet a need? How about running a "rent-a-kid" program. IT'S EASY! Placing posters in your local area or church stating that children and youth are available to provide odd job services for donations. This is a wonderful way to raise support and makes the giving much more meaningful. Perhaps cleaning a car or home, mowing the lawn or raking, planting grass. etc., the ideas and methods are endless.

Blankets for the cold, brings warmth to the heart!

A simple blanket! Many people in the world have one, most people have extras in closets, just in case. Imagine living in an area of the world where temperatures can become extremely cold and not owning one blanket. This ministry based in the Northwestern part of India shares the love of Christ in many ways. One wonderful way is giving a blanket to those in need. The photo attached shows the joy of members of a leper colony (radiant smiles and laughter). Phyically they suffer, but this ministry is taking the time to show them love. If purchasing a blanket is something you would like to do, see project # 241 for more information. ...

Shoesboxes are not just for Shoes

Purchase a new pair of shoes and throw away the box - that's how I do it! Yet, in Kashmir, India, shoesboxes are being recycled to bless many children. You ask how? The Ministry of KEF fills empty shoeboxes with simple gifts bringing joy to the hearts of children. This is an exciting, effective project that I am certain you will want to be a part of. Read more about this on project # 242....

Purchasing Bicycles for India
To preach God's Word to the lost, missionaries go from village to village by foot. With a bicycle, more villages can be reached in the same amount of time, protecting the missionary from aching legs and feet. Want to help a missionary obtain a bicycle and increase the effectiveness of his ministry? Check out project # 62 and bring smiles of joy to a native missionary today!...

Help Colombia Hear
As June is coming to a close, we want to encourage you to continue praying for those native missionaries who are reaching their own peoples in Latin America. But before this month ends, we also want to share with you an opportunity to GIVE. Therefore, we have asked our ANM Warehouse Team to tell us how children, students, and teachers can help those in Columbia hear the Gospel, and they responded as follows:COLUMBIA: In the midst of great persecution, Christ to the Unreached Tribes has been bearing fruit for 29 years. Their vision is to have 500 churches among the 80 tribes by 2015. We at Advancing Native Missions want to be a part of this vision as we equip and encourage these dedicated...

In the Face of Rifles
Samuel thought he was going to die for sure. His heart pounded frantically in his chest as he considered what could very well be his last conscious thought. “What about my wife and children?” Children. It was children who had ambushed him. These boys were as young as thirteen years old. They had most likely been wrenched from their homes and forced to serve in this rag-tag group of guerilla soldiers. Samuel looked around once more, and suddenly he didn’t see a group of killers with guns trained on him. He saw a bunch of frightened, teenage boys. “You’re afraid,” he observed. “You’re afraid of the fact that you could die in any given moment. I have...

The Call of a Pastor
One day, seventeen-year-old Antonio was near a church with his friends. They had been throwing rocks at the church building for weeks, but this day a bet was made. Whoever could sneak up to the front of the sanctuary and touch one of the girls who were praying would win this bet. Antonio stood in the doorway, waiting for a chance to make his move. Suddenly the pastor pointed straight at him, bidding him to come to the altar, but Antonio was not there to accept Jesus into his heart. He waited until the pastor closed his eyes in prayer before he slowly made his way forward. But as he drew near, the pastor opened his eyes. He asked Antonio what he was doing there. “I...

Why Native Missions?
For the last few days, Trisha and I have have been traveling to visit friends, family, churches, and attend a few mission conferences. As we travel, there is one question that always comes up...Why Native Missions?
Well, indigenous nationals are people who are sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their own country. We call these people native missionaries. They are Christians in their home countries sharing their faith in Jesus Christ with their family, their friends, and their neighbors. They know the language and the culture -and that is half the battle. These Bible believing brothers and sisters are part of our family, the Body of Christ. If we pray for them, support them,...
