Turning Terrorists into Kingdom Warriors
Greetings from your family and church members here in Imphal.
Thanks so much for the funds you transferred for the food of our students. Yesterday being a very large Hindu festival holiday, all the shops were closed, therefore we were not able to buy the food. However today we bought all the food; rice, potatoes, vegetables, oils etc, and dropped them at the college. I taught in the class for a few hours, in the evening we had a worship meeting and we only arrived back home just now. It is now 10pm at night.
Today Mr. Khaiboi Vaiphei, Mr. Tamreingam our lecturer and I, all taught in the class. We are confident our Bible College ministry is wonderful. We rest assured that many of our students will bear wonderful fruit in the future. After ten years of our Bible College ministry, we will be able to produced hundreds of talented and dedicated missionaries for our country. In ten years time, if we continue this Bible College ministry, we may be able to send out hundreds of missionaries to every nook and corner of our nation. Therefore we rest assured that we will achieve lots for the Kingdom of God.
Please kindly keep praying for all our desperate needs, since moving to a rented house there are many things needed. We need a big room for a kitchen and dining room for our students, so we are planning to construct simple rooms, since the house owner is not in a position to build it, we need to do it ourselves. For this kitchen and dining room we need about 27 pieces of tin sheets for the roof. Please pray that we have the needed funds.
The girls' dormitory has a beautiful gate and beautiful fencing. On the entrance gate of the girls' dormitory we wrote a sign board which reads RIVER OF LIFE BIBLE COLLEGE, which looks very beautiful. The boys' dormitory is about 200 meters away from girls' dormitory. The boys' dormitory did not have a proper fence, so I told the house owner to immediately make a fence for the boys' dormitory. However, the house owner told me that he could not make the fence as he did not have money. But he told us we can make it for ourselves which we can deduct from our monthly rent. For a bamboo fence it will cost us around 3000 rupees.
Please keep praying for us as our lives are always in danger. Manipur is the worst state among all the states in India. Because of the terrorist problems, everyday people kill one another. Almost all the youngsters in Manipur want to become a terrorist and kill people with the guns they have. However, our objective is to train the national youth in the bible and prepare them for future ministry. We want to train them to become armies of God.
Please keep praying for our safety. We know that our lives are always in the hands of God, but we need to pray for one another. Our state Manipur is always heading towards the worst condition. Life is always very insecure. But we are in God's care.
All the beams and staircase of our Diplomatic Centre are completed. We are now looking for the completion of the slab and the second floor finishing, and for this we need lots of funds. Let us pray that we have the funds and finish the construction very soon.
We love you, and we always pray for you. Some of our students are sick, so please remember them in your prayers.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and to seeing you in April 2006.
