Dear Loving Partners of the Gospel in Christ Jesus
By the grace of God, the institute's activities are growing. We have started a second church in Bhandup, in Mumbai. We are looking out for a place where we can house this church.
Please Pray for my Minstries in Chennai among the Tamil Peoples. There I am going to teach about the Supremacy of the Scriptures. Thanks for the following resources:
- God has Spoken by J.I Packer
- God's Word by Packer
- God's Riches by Paton (Banner of Truth Publication)
- Reformation Today Magazines
- Bible Lamp Magazines
- The Word of God (Tamil)
- Sovereign Grace Publication (Tamil)
- and other Reformed materials.
I prepared the theme by the Grace of God & with the help of these materials over the last 5 months. I thank God for My Seminary Resources (Providence Evengelical Bible Seminary). I need your constant Prayer for the teaching program among the Tamil Pastors & Believers from various churches. I thank God For His Providence.
Please pray for my family, my ministries & my co-labourers ministries during my absence. I need your very essential & constant prayers for this is God's Business. May the Lord give strength & give me grace abundantly in order to teach His word accurately & with the help of the Spirit.
Also this coming month, God willing, we plan to start a series of sessions on the Lord's second coming in our church.
Also we have been invited to teach a group of 30 pastors, the doctrine of the Holy spirit. Please pray for Pastor Biju Devasia and Simon Samuel who are going to take this series - for strength and wisdom.
We have finished the translation of God' riches (Banner of truth) into Malayalam. Its not yet gone into print as we are waiting for the printing rights. We have also finished the translation of the tract, "Are You Born Again" into Malayalam.
We urgently require these following resources for the work here. We would really appreciate it if it reaches us before October for the scheduled program.
- The Holy Spirit A,B
- Attributes of God.
- Please try to send other sources like cassettes and booklets from chapel library.
- We are in need of some books as they are not available in India.
We want to start the work of translation of some works like Robert L Raymond - A new systematic theology of the Christian faith. We have received permission from Mr Raymond to do so, but we need copies of the books which are not available. If you have it in your chapel library we would appreciate it. We also need a copy of Reformed Dogmatics by Hoekemma.
Please pray that the financial burdens of the new churches will also be taken care of as we plan to find a place for the Church.
Closing with regards
Yours in His Reformed Mission
Pastor Gopi
