On June 22nd, a rare and glorious thing happened up here in Ladakh. A Ladakhi family (father, mother, and teenage son) cast off their Buddhism and gave their hearts to the Lord. We were blessed to be a part of baptizing these at a secret spot on the Indus River where we baptized a brother last Fall and where some Buddhist monks were secretly baptized into the faith years ago.
Read MoreAs I walk down the streets of these South Asian cities and towns, I see maddening chaos and so many bizarre scenes. It is hard to really paint a picture with words so you can understand what I am talking about, especially if you have never been to this part of the world yourself. What never ceases to amaze is the mindless commotion around every corner. There are some that claim the world is becoming a better place because of the advancements of technology. To them I can say nothing more than, “What? Are you blind?”
Read MoreFollowing the devastating April 25th Nepal earthquake that has claimed the lives of more than 8,000 people, Full Proof Gospel Ministries, having had a presence in Nepal for more than a decade, has jumped right in with the help of our national partners to bring aid and use the opportunity to declare and spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only real help in times like these. To date, and through the generosity of many faithful believers, God has provided $24,000 through this small ministry to help on the ground in Nepal. Below are a few reports from one of our national partners, reports from both the Gorkha District (i.e. near the epicenter of the quake) and the Sindhupalchowk District (i.e. the worst hit area).
Read MoreGreetings, in the name of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Living God. I tell you my friends, this past month has been one of the most insightful trips I have ever experienced. On February 20th, Jesse and I departed the United States enroute to the JEWISH STATE of Israel. I marvel that Gentiles from the opposite side of the world can board a plane and travel to a nation of Jewish people in the land promised to Abraham about 4000 years ago, Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel). And, when I considers the events that have transpired from Abraham until now, the remains of which are scattered all over Israel, I cannot escape the reality of Elohim's faithfulness to the Jewish people.
Read MoreGreetings from Himalaya in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Let's praise God for His faithfulness. He is always good, and He always helps us for His glory. As answers to your prayers, God a lot of things transpired during our recent trip to the West. Thank you very much for your continuous prayers.
Read MoreGreetings to those brethren who hold the ropes for FPGM through prayer and pecuniary sacrifice. Thank you. And, greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to any around the world who may stumble upon this post. Brother Ricky and I depart for Israel in a week, and ahead of that journey, I find myself reflecting upon tools, tools that believers can and should use to point others to faith in Jesus Christ. What are your talents? What are the abilities God has given you? Are you using them for the furtherance of self or for the furtherance of the Gospel?
Read MoreI write now concerning the dry season here in Nepal. From June through September, the country is inundated with heavy rains making it difficult to do anything. There are mudslides throughout the country and all of the trails that lace the mountainsides are too slippery to do much hiking or travel. For the remainder of the year, however, Nepal is almost completely deprived of rain, so the trails are nice and dry. This is great for all of the tourists.
Read MoreUndoubtedly, many of you heard or sang an old familiar carol by Isaac Watts at some point during this Christmastime: Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her King . . . Do you realize that this song was not actually written about Jesus' birth but about His second coming? Just read the words of the verses. The world can get pretty sentimental about a little baby Jesus in a manger, but it despises any thought of His return, His reign, and His judgment. And, concerning these things, the churches can be so apathetic. Yet, praise be unto God: The Lord Jesus Christ WILL reign over this earth, both physically and bodily, a stone cut without hands that becomes a mighty mountain, grinding even the greatest of manmade kingdoms to wind-driven chaff (Daniel 2:34-35).
Read MoreI am very sorry that it has been so many moons since I have posted to FPGM's Travel Blog, or since you all have heard from me with regard to the recent and ongoing work in South Asia. Back on November 14th, my family and I safely returned from Delhi, and I immediately went to preach a four-day revival at my original sending church in Creedmoor, North Carolina. It was a good time, but needless to say, we finally arrived home exhausted; and it has taken some time to get back on some semblance of a schedule.
Read MoreAfter going to the Scripture about this matter with him, he committed to being baptized by immersion in obedience to God's command, "not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God" (I Peter 3:21). Later, we found a suitable place outside of the city, the same secret spot where some Buddhist monks had been baptized into the faith several years earlier.
Read MoreGreetings in the name of our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ. We could really use your prayers right now as FPGM is on the verge of jumpstarting a long-term ministry to Israeli backpackers in Nepal. Sharing Christ with the Jewish people has become top priority as God prepares them for the Messiah’s return. As I perceived while laboring down in South America for the first six months of 2013, one of the greatest times to reach Israelis with the Gospel is during early adulthood when they are fresh out of conscripted military service and trying to figure out life.
Read MoreGreetings from top of the World in the Name of it's Creator! Indeed, there is no Rock like our God. He is faithful and listens to our prayers and answers it in His ways which are above our ways, beyond our imagination--as in the story of Hannah and Samuel. Such was also the case during our last trip to Nepal's Far West back in the month of May.
Read MoreYes, my friends, it's falling all around us; but that which falls can only plummet, as foretold, UNTO the consummation of all things when "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:10-11). Oh, the ANTICIPATION (Isaiah 64:1).
Read MorePeace be with you, our beloved brethren. Thanks for all your prayers and support directed toward this ministry as we strive to GO, STAND, and SPEAK the Gospel of Jesus Christ before both Jew and Gentile, anywhere and everywhere around the world. Truly, I had a blessed and fruitful time of labor in Southern Africa with Brother Ricky back in March, and Ricky, in turn, enjoyed a blessed and fruitful six months of ministry in that corner of the world.
Read MoreRecent rumblings in the life of FPGM have prompted me to ponder the nature of genuine blessing from God versus worldly dainties often erringly identified as the Lord's blessings. Is rapid expansion, a spacious office, a bureaucratic hierarchy, and a huge financial support network necessarily evidence of God's blessing upon a missions ministry? Is sudden growth with full pews, a large ministerial staff, a plethora of programs, and abundant tithes and offerings necessarily evidence of God's blessing upon a church?
Read MoreGreetings, dear brethren, in the name of the Most High God. Full Proof Gospel Ministries just received this year-end correspondence from Brother Bishnu concerning the front-line work we helped to start and continue to support in Nepal, a land of high mountains and many, many people who have never heard the biblical Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ. I pray you are encouraged thereby. Please continue to pray for this work and join us in prayer as we seek an open door to return to South Asia and Nepal in the coming months.
Read MoreBlessed be the name of the Lord, Baruch haShem Adonoi. Greetings in the name of our Lord and our God, Jesus Christ. (John 20:28). It is with great joy that I write to you all and give testimony concerning the past two months of ministry. One of the local pastors that we have labored alongside in Bangladesh was able to come to the United States for training in evangelism and to testify of Jesus’ blood and righteousness. We traveled in a giant loop around the whole country, preaching together to students on the American college campuses and people on the city streets.
Read MoreI rejoice to announce that our college campus preaching tour and our time training Pastor James from Bangladesh here on American soil has been fulfilled. In six weeks, we traveled more than 9,500 miles overland and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ at 25 university campuses.
Read MoreGreetings, precious brethren, in the eternally glorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ. All the great kings, princes, billionaires, prime ministers, and presidents of man will bow before His feet! There is a dear family from Kodiak, Alaska that regularly supports this ministry. Each time we receive a support check from them, I find these words inscribed in the memo space: "Go Tell 'Em!" That convicting exhortation came to my mind this morning as I pondered our upcoming college campus preaching tour. The strategy is simple, the game plan is sound: Go Tell 'Em!
Read MoreDear brothers and sisters, I’d like to take some time and share with you about how God has been working near and far these past few months. We can see through the Scriptures that God has revealed His righteousness in the faith of Jews and the faith of Gentiles alike.
