Here is some exciting news from Freeset, Rahab and DBI
Freeset – A new building across the street (a Kolkata street) with opportunities to bring freedom to more women.
Rahab – Hello Geoff, Raymond and Terry and friends at The Anchor Church, it was nice to see us up on your website -thank you.
I thought I’d tell you the latest happenings and tempt you to come back next year! While the swine flu thing is on, we are not going into the Patpong Soi 1 bars, but to Soi 2 where there are open air bars and so less risk to everyone’s health. God is good as we are meeting new women, who we would not have been otherwise and just this week, the two Thai women on our outreach team were able to lead two women to God. One is a Mama-san so with God’s hand on her she could well have a great influence on others. We pray He reveals more of himself to her each day. 8th July was Rahab’s 20th birthday we celebrated with lots of food, fun and sharing of Rahab’s story – a wonderful day.
Bless you all for your ongoing support and encouragement to us – you are part of our team! Sarah and the Rahab family
Delhi Bible Institute – they have just run their summer Bible camps and had 795 kids as past of it, trained 137 people in the regional training programme in June, and 21 people were baptised
The highlights of the camps were:
- One on one sharing of the gospel with all children with 195 children committed their lives to the Lord Jesus
- 25 bus routes to bring children in Delhi and Dehradun
- 184 volunteers join hands to work in the three camps
- The wordless book, a simple tool to explain the gospel, consisting of six colours was used in every class. Gold represents heaven, Black is our sin which disqualifies us from entering sin, Red is the blood of Christ which takes away our sin, White is our new heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus and Green represents spiritual growth as we read the Bible, pray and stay connected to a local church. Each student was given a wordless book so that they could share the gospel with their families and friends
- The gospel shared with parents on the closing days of the camps
Praise God for the hundreds of children who were reached through the efforts in Lucknow, Punjab, Delhi and Dehradun. Children in all the camps came from both high strata of society and the slums.
