christmas in nepal

Here in Nepal, on or around Christmas, the Nepali churches typically take to the streets with Gospel tracts and microphones in honor of our Lord’s birth. Yesterday (i.e. Christmas), we saw several groups out witnessing with boldness. ‘Twas a great encouragement. If only the American churches would follow this example, putting aside all the commercialization, greed, and insanity that descends upon our culture this time of year, and utilizing the opportunity to openly declare the child born in a manger as the ONLY ONE who can redeem us from the curse of the Law (Galatians 4:4-5).

the work continues

PARAMESHWAR (i.e. Nepali for “One True God”) IS NOT RELIGION . . . THE BIBLE IS NOT RELIGION . . . YESHU MASHIHA (Nepali for “Jesus the Messiah) IS NOT RELIGION . . . and so we continue to preach and declare openly here in Nepal and throughout South Asia. Thanks for all your prayers, and for those who have and continue to support us financially, the fruit is yours. You have sown; we are reaping; and the day comes when “both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together” (John 4:36).

laboring in nepal

My family is now living with us here in Kathmandu (Thank God), and we just finished a month of labor with a small team that came in from Ricky’s home church in Owasso, Oklahoma. Now, we are setting out sights upon some very difficult unreached areas, praying with earnest that the Lord would open a door of opportunity to go in to some of these places with copies of the Word of God.

two weeks in southeast asia

Malaysia and Indonesia are closed Muslim countries where problems can arise for believers that seek to preach the Gospel to Muslims. To protect the security of local believers and foreign workers with whom we labored, I will not mention names or other customary details. Nevertheless, know that the Word of God went forth boldly, and, as is FPGM’s practice, we pushed the envelope in terms of public proclamation.

a simple missions strategy

Much has transpired here in Kathmandu over the past 3 weeks as we have secured a place to live and have actively come alongside Bishnu Shrestha, FPGM's national partner, in the open-air preaching of the Gospel and mass distribution of Gospel tracts and Scripture portions.

a chapter ends, another begins

Alas, one chapter of this extended missionary journey has come to a close, and another has begun. Even still, the Lord continues to make provision and abundant opportunity arises to proclaim with boldness the unadulterated Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many miles have been traveled, and the Word of God has been preached in scores of places since my last post. The work in Southern Africa came to a climactic conclusion, and now, the work in South Asia has commenced. To God be the glory!

hailing from africa

There was a cold wind blowing through the sea of buildings as we stood preaching in New York City’s Union Square. Many people were out, and the riffraff had stirred up the crowd, mocking the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ.

leaving america

Well, the time has come for us to leave America and go and make known His salvation to the nations. On Monday morning (May 23), Ricky Springer and I will be leaving North Carolina. After a day in New York City open-air preaching at Union Square with a Jewish brother in Christ and some hours preparing a large supply of Bibles and Gospel materials for transport, we will board the flight for Johannesburg, South Africa.

cause for rejoicing

Much has transpired since my last post almost two months ago, and there is, I say, cause for rejoicing: not only for what hath been, but for what is, and for what, according to the will of the Lord, is to come.

news from the local and nepal fronts

Not much has transpired on the home front thus far in 2011, aside from prolonged sickness recovery, preaching outside local abortion mills, and weekly outreach in downtown Charlotte. Notwithstanding, Bishnu Shrestha, our supported national partner in Nepal, has been very busy and faithful to the call of the Gospel. Much preaching has taken place in Kathmandu's Ratna Park and in Himalayan Villages; evangelism trainings have been conducted around Pokhara and in Dharan; and a large Hindu Festival was targeted for mass distribution of our Project Jagerna Scripture portions.
