“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes” - Romans 1 : 16
Beloved in Christ,
Melbourne CSI has initiated a new missionary assistance towards West Bengal mission fields directed by ‘Jeevan Ka Mukud or Crown Of Life Ministries’ based in Kerala. Two missionary families, of Mr. Susheel Chandra Sardhar and Mr. Tapasmal, who does the pioneering mission in the district of Bangura (Bakkuda) in West Bengal are prayerfully supported by our congregation.
This mission was started by Mr. Sajan Paul ( A committed CSI member from a Hindu back ground, who is the general secretary of the missions) and Friends before some years, as they were sharing the gospel to some of the Bengali friends who came in search of labor opportunities in Kerala and were engaged in the constructional work of Pushpagiri Hospital, Tiruvalla,Kerala,India. They were staunch Hindus and were reluctant to receive the Gospel at first. But the Lord touched them and opened their hearts to understand and experience Christ in their lives. They were later theologically trained and were sent back to their native places to share the gospel with their friends and relatives in west Bengal. Many villagers accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and now they have become a big group of believing and baptized Christian disciples. In many places the good news is spread and many new members are added in to the flocks. We are thankful to all our church members for the prayers and assistance towards this solemn cause. We can still sponsor other needs of the missions like Bible distribution to the villagers who can read, Education aid for the missionary children or other children, New dresses, A special meal during your special days, Medical support, Home appliances, Winter clothes /blankets/ Bicycles / Bikes for the missionaries,/Community hall or church building etc.
We can also make a visit to the fields and experience the warmth of fellowship with the believers in those mission fields who are poor and lowly. Our youth also can have exposure to these rural missionary outreach in India among the people of other faiths. Above all, the major support from our part can be the sincere prayers that we could offer for these mission works and also the encouragement given to the missionaries for their blessed and fruitful ministry.
Let God’s name be glorified and the Lord’s work be honored as you would continue to assist this ministry with your prayers and generosity. Your hands of help will make a big difference in the lives someone deserving in the society. Thank you for your prayers and support for the missions so far. May God bless our commitment abundantly throughout the days to come.
