The World

Due to several economic, social, and political reasons, many countries are wide open to the preaching of the Gospel. We feel an urgency to do the reaping while the opportunity is there. We continue to get invitations almost daily from various groups in different countries who have heard of the work of BOAM and want us to come and bring the ministry to their people. A great open door is before us!
As Paul said in Ephesians chapter six, we are in a warfare and the enemy is not people but the devil and the powers of darkness. Our teams sense this and feel this in every meeting. Yet, God is breaking down the barriers and as Paul said, "He is pulling down the strongholds of Satan and bringing people out of the darkness of paganism into the light of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ." Many come in tears, under deep conviction for their sins as they realize what God has done for them in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Not only is the response to the Gospel amazing, but the fact that these same people who have received Christ are willing to attend Bible studies weekly indicates their sincerity and determination to serve the Lord even in the midst of a pagan culture. As the Word of God reminds us, "With God all things are possible." He is not limited.
Please continue to pray that God will raise up finances and workers, and give us wisdom to plant Bible studies with new converts. We also need wisdom to reach into the new areas where we have been invited to plant the ministry of BOAM. For instance each state in India speaks a different language, and often within each state are different dialects. So, the problem of giving the Gospel to these people in their own native language is a very complex one. Even in New York City (the melting pot of the world) we face many nationalities and cultures.
Yet, the great command of our Lord Jesus Christ and his promise is ever before us. The Lord said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Then he finished that command with his wonderful promise, "Lo I am with you always." Praying, giving, and going is the work of the Church in this age of grace.
May God bless you and encourage you. Will you stand with us in this battle?
In His Grace,
