EXTENDING HIS
KINGDOM
|
|
| "Mr
Thumati Vijaya Kumar" |
It wasn’t for
lack of interest on the part of Thumati Kumar that it took us
nearly 2 years to begin his equipping process. And it wasn’t for
lack of knowledge either. Our good ministry friend, Donald Leow from
Singapore, had planted the seed of AVangelism deeply in the heart of
this saint during his 2002 Haggai Institute Training Sessions. It
probably was the fault of our spiritual opposition that delayed the
launching of this aggressive Media Evangelist. God has been greatly
blessing this man’s ministry these last 5 years. Just imagine, over
the last 60 months Thumati Vijaya Kumar has reported 453
showings. That’s an average of 7 ½ per month to 77 men,
women, and children. But just try to imagine this. Nearly 4
people in every audience have chosen to receive Jesus Christ.
Although we began communicating by letter mail in mid-2002, his
letter mail, his friends carrying mail to the States and mailing,
and his emails all failed to connect with us until early October
2003. Even then we had to letter mail a copy of our email response.
You begin to get the idea here. By God’s grace, normalcy set in
early in 2004, after our package of Torch Kit, plus Hindi and
English Language videos finally arrived safely in his hands.
From that day forward, Thumati was off to the races. Like a man on a
mission! “Kindly uphold our ministry in your prayers,” he
wrote, “as we are going to use Media Tools for the Lord’s
ministry and to extend His Kingdom here in India.”
“Once while waiting for a train, an 18-year-old girl approached
and thanked me for recently coming to her village with our Torch
Kit. She had learned that children should respect their parents.
Even though she is from a Hindu family, God’s message brought peace
between her and her parents. How I thank God that media attracts the
youth, and they hear the Gospel, as evidenced by this girl’s
testimony and how God’s message had spoken clearly to her heart.”
"Mr Kumar Presenting Telugu PILGRIM ’ S
PROGRESS"
By late 2006, we
finally had completed the Telugu Language Recording Project
in his State, and the disks arrived in his hands just before
Christmas. “Kindly convey my heartfelt thanks to the donors who
made these new ministry tools possible.” Fully one half of his
next Report listed results of the Telugu video showings. God
was doing a new work in his 3-year-old Media Ministry. Telugu,
the mother tongue, the heart language of his State, was drawing
souls unto Christ. “I would like to inform you that the Telugu
DVD’s are very encouraging to our ministry. Our Telugu audience are
very pleased to hear their language from the speakers and not just
our translations. Following 1 program, a woman came to me and asked
for prayer. As I prayed, she began weeping deeply. She told me the
message of Telugu PILGRIM’S PROGRESS had touched her heart. She was
a Hindu. She had only come to watch the movie out of curiosity. Now
she had asked Jesus Christ to be her Savior. How I praise the Lord
for these tools.”. Please pray for these converts - 1,784 so
far! But also pray for the remaining 35,000 souls who have been
witnessed the Gospel, thanks to Thumati Kumar of Andhra Pradesh
State, India.

NATIVE DOCTOR
Dr Joy Agbazue
from Enugu, Nigeria writes:
“We faced some interesting challenges, as we have
gone out to share Christ through Media Evangelism.
Recently we were confronted by a native doctor
(often called a witch doctor). This man had been
resisting the Light of Christ coming into his
village. He emerged at our venue, collected sand at
the place where the Projector was set, and started
making an incantation. We did not confront him
directly, as the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal. But through God, we prayed earnestly to pull
down the strongholds. Shortly after he started his
incantation, the clear skies began to change, and
dark clouds began to roll in. We raised the levels
of our prayers and made strong declarations unto
God, and the victory was ours, as a mighty wind
arose and drove the dark clouds away. Even so, evil
was about, and the Projector Bulb burned out,
following one of our showings. On the 2nd day, we
began using the Torch Kit, and again the bulbs
burned out. But we were able to continue telling the
story even without the pictures, making an altar
call possible. God was overcoming deep spiritual
opposition and bringing victory.”
A Report of 16 showings to 1,125 people with 223
responding to the salvation invitation.
CAMBODIA
"Bunsam Rath, Project Leader"
As the TORCH
reaches your hands, Lane and Jill Anderson will just
be returning from their Language Recording Project
in the Khmer Language of Cambodia. Please now keep
in prayer Ken D Anderson, as he begins the Editing
Process, and then completes the professional mix of
the Khmer, music, and sound effects so that one by
one these videos can return and begin ministry in
Cambodia.
MOSQUITO NETS NEEDED
Rev Ackim P
Chali of Zambia writes:
“In our areas of ministry, many people want us to
spend more days with them so that they can keep
seeing videos, but we don’t have any Mosquito Nets,
and there are so many mosquitos. Would you please
pray for the provision of Mosquito Nets so that we
can expand the ministry in to some of these
difficult areas. When we have them, we will be able
to go into some of the more remote places and serve
God but also spare our health.”
His comment was on a Report of 7 showings to 156
people with 23 decisions made for Jesus Christ.
MANADADRA MOUNTAINS
Rev Samaila
Mangu of Nigeria writes:
“We just had a wonderful outing among the
Mountain People of the Manadara Mountains near
Cameroon. We were detained until we would promise to
come back again soon. This is a Muslim area, but
among the people who made commitments during our
tour many of them were Muslims. Some of them are
interested in starting correspondence courses. That
is wonderful news. In one location, one man became a
believer and was responsible for his entire
household coming to Christ. Some of these people are
under serious persecution by village Muslim leaders.
Please pray that these leaders will be strengthened
to serve our Lord.”
He reported 12 showings to 8,130 people with 180
decisions for Christ.
A PILGRIM’S PROGRESS
by Lane Anderson
Japan, Part 2
I suppose you could say Japan was the frosting on the Birthday Cake
I missed at 35,000 feet while crossing the International Date Line.
We were traveling around the world to produce 5 new productions, but
no filming was going to be taking place here in Japan. It was like a
short vacation before the hard work of production began. It also was
a perfect way to catch up with all the time zones we had flown over.
Our bodies needed time to adjust and the 2-day trip from Nagoya back
to Tokyo was just what the doctor ordered.
Japan is a beautiful country with so many public areas ever so
neatly manicured. Perhaps the art of gardening was perfected in this
land. I was grateful to be seeing Japan through the eyes of our
missionary friends, Ted and Phyllis Brannan. Along that route we
visited many Buddhist Temples, some of the largest in the world.
These are the most numerous, famous, and important religious
buildings in the empire. I had never before seen men and women
worship a deity other than the Creator God. The lack of awareness of
Jesus Christ was overwhelming. The chanting by the monks in the
temples was often unsettling. After all, they were not praying to my
Creator, but to other unhearing, unseeing, and usually unresponding
entities. Darkness never seemed so deep as when we were near or in
such temples. There was an actual sense of evil, and whenever we
exited, feeling of relief as well. How grateful I have always been
that at a very young age I was introduced to the One and Living God.
