june_2008_329_2God is good to my life. He has given me peace and joy in my heart. This month, 2nd April, all our Church members celebrated the Good Friday. We prayed and shared from the Bible about the crucifixion (7 scriptures):

1. "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" Lk. 23:34.
2. "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" Lk. 23:43.
3. "Dear woman, here is your son" Jn. 19:26.
4. "Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani" Mt. 27:46.
5. "I am thirsty" Jn. 19:28.
6. "It is finished" Jn. 19:30.
7. "Father, in your hands I commit my spirit" Lk. 23:46.

Through Jesus' crucifixion all our sin has gone. He took all our sin and died on the Cross and after three days again He resurrected. Through His crucifixion and resurrection today we are saved from our sin.


284_1993_2On 28th April, we had a baptism program. Two people took water baptism. Their names are Janmenjoy Hati (male, age 20) from Chakmathuri, and Tapati Payra (female, age 19) from Gopalpur. I shared with her from February about Jesus Christ. At first, she was not that much interested to listen about Jesus Christ because she was a worshipper of Kali [Calcutta gets its name from this Hindu god]. She used to attend many festivals and she was very interested in watching movies. I said to her, "You are very happy worshipping idols and watching movies, but that is only for a few hours. If you accept Jesus Christ, He will give you true joy and happiness always. That happiness will not stop." I prayed for her and I shared with her several scriptures (Rom. 10:9; 3:10; 3:23; 1 Jn 1:9; 1 Jn. 5:12, Jn. 14:6).

She used to ask me many questions. I gave her answers from the scripture. Finally, on 2nd April she confessed her sin and accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. And on 28th April, she took water baptism at Tahalia. I thank God that one person was saved by His grace. Ministry is continuing through evangelism, Sunday school, and church services. Now, I have four churches in four different villages. Total baptized members: 29; others: 10; total: 39. Likewise, God is using me in His ministry at East Midnapur.

1. Please pray for my spiritual life.

2. Please pray for new baptized members.

3. Please pray for East Midnapur Ministry.

4. Please pray for a small piece of land and house where we can conduct church service.

Thank you,
Sib M.
