New Year and New Life in South Asia! We are rejoicing in the news of 11 new believers in Jesus Christ from South Asia. Our ministry partners held a Christmas program in a village, sharing the Gospel and the Good News of salvation through believing God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins and through Him we have eternal life with the Holy Spirit to help us live a life pleasing to Him here on Earth. Here is our pastor’s testimony from South Asia:
“[I preached] about [Jesus’] birth, death, resurrection and eternal life. I know that the Holy Spirit was using me during my preaching time […] How I can touch good news to them – personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Finally they realized and after church service the eleven people came to us and they surrendered to God and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior […] Praise the Lord!!! What an amazing thing happening on Christmas day!!! We really praise God for what He has done through His ordinary servants on Christmas day. It’s a Christmas blessing for all of us!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Please remember them in your prayers for them that they might have strong faith in the Lord and we may use them for His disciples and for the expansion of His Kingdom.”
We rejoice with Heaven today over the new members of our family in Christ and invite you to join us in praying for these new believers. Thank you to each of our supporters – your support makes it possible for ministry to continue each month.
As an orphan is adopted into a family, God adopts us into His family when we believe in Him. (Ephesians 1:5-7, John 3:16). Like an orphan who does not earn a family, but is chosen and loved, so too we cannot earn God’s love and eternal life – it is His free gift to us.
Romans 10:9-10 says: “f you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” If you would like to step into a personal relationship with Jesus today, by believing in your heart and declaring that Jesus is your Savior, you can pray in your heart:
“Dear God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I ask Jesus to come live in my heart today as my Lord and Savior. I accept Your forgiveness for my sins and your gift of eternal life. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Thank you for hearing my prayers and loving me unconditionally. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
If you have made the decision to believe in and follow Jesus Christ as your Savior, we warmly welcome you to God’s family! 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” We rejoice with you, our partners in South Asia and around the world!
If you made the decision to follow Christ today or would like to learn more, we’d love to hear from you! Send us a private message or write to us at tingministries@comcast.net. To God be the Glory!
