Increase In Church Attendance
Greetings from your family and church members here in Imphal.
Thanks for your kind telephone conversations which really are a great source of our encouragement.
The impact of the January Crusade is still very great, everyone keeps talking about the crusade. Today we had several pastors visit our office and tell us that since the crusade their church memberships are increasing from Hindu converts. We keep doing the follow up program to their places wherever we can. Khaiboi and Zammang went to Churachandpur and Sugunu area for a tour and visited many of our VCC & ROLWE churches. Today Khaiboi returned back after two days but Zammang has not yet returned back. We hope Zammang will come back tomorrow.
Tomorrow all our friends and pastors are coming here for a meeting. Many Meitei (predominantly Hindu tribe) pastors are also coming to give us reports about our crusade since several have participated in the follow up program. Therefore I will be sending you a report with progress tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
This morning we again visited the house with the chairman, principal and the lecturers of the Bible College, to which we are thinking of moving the current students. We will try to shift the students as soon as possible as there are a lot of unnecessary complaints every day from the neighbours of the present property. They keep giving troubles to all our students every day. The house that we plan to shift the students to is a good and peaceful place for study. The house owners are really good people, they even want to leave their telephone for the River of Life Bible College. With good water storage for drinking and a bore well (hand pump) for bathing, washing, and cleaning.
The spiritual life conference for the students was wonderful as all our students rededicated themselves for the future ministry. Last night we had a dinner together with all the students.
We are still looking for a suitable place for our permanent Bible College complex. We are focusing on the outskirts of the city, close to the foot hills or a small mountain. As soon as we find a beautiful place we will let you know.
Regarding the land for rice and vegetables we asked the government expert about the outcome of the grains, they will let us know tomorrow, as today the experts were not in the office.
Regarding the bible printing, this afternoon I had a good and lengthy talk with the people. It is now in the printing press but since the press have many other versions for printing, they work very hard. They are doing their best to finish printing. We are sure the printing will be finished very soon.
We love you Papa, and we always keep praying for you. May the good Lord continue to bless you in all your services is our earnest prayers for you always.
The people in Manipur really need you to come back. With you we achieve lots of things for the people and for the state. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
