It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. 1 Corinthians 3:7 NLT
Our ministry is a five step process
1 Pray; 2 Listen for the LORD’S leading; He 3 Leads;
we 4 Follow; 5 He Blesses.
we 4 Follow; 5 He Blesses.
It’s THANKSGIVING time again and we are thankful for God leading us to do some significant planting. We are fully aware that some plant, some water and some reap. We continue to support those who water and reap following the teaching, planning and training that we continue to plant.
That Blessing is seeing God fashioning the seeds we planted grow into lives changed for eternity. We enjoy reading reports where we followed God’s leading. Yes, He is Blessing. We reflect and share with you reports of our being planters and God is making the seeds grow.
INDIA
Praise God that radio is taking the gospel to some of the neediest and most remote people in South Asia.
Response from a man, Pradeep in India. “I have been so sad since I lost my Job, as there is no income to take care of my family. On my mobile phone, I received the word of God from you through WhatsApp. I wasn’t going to play it, as I was so vexed and was murmuring against God.
My son took my phone to play games, and he unintentionally pressed the button in the notification center. It played your message, and that message was just for me. It said, ‘don’t give up. God is on your side.’ It was like an angel of the Lord coming home and speaking to me. I am now regularly listening to the word of God.”

INDONESIA
Praise God that a second online class is underway in Indonesia with 22 enthusiastic students. Pray that they would learn a lot and their ministry would be enlarged by what they learn.
Our online course for Indonesian radio announcers went so well the first time out that the course continues with students from several other Christian stations around the country.

We were honored to receive a visit from the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Mrs. Grace Batubara regarding the Submitting Ministry of Social Assistance in the form of Food Packages for the prevention of Covid-19. This event was attended by the wife of the governor of Bali, as well as the wife of the Mayor of Denpasar. During the visit, Mercy Indonesia was trusted to distribute 1,000 relief packages to people affected by the Pandemic. Some of these packages went to the Orphanage in Atambua where we placed a fresh water well.
NEPAL
Praying for the application process for a new Christian radio station in Nepal. This station will be focused on an unreached and marginalized people group in the country. Reports regarding the coronavirus indicate lockdown continues throughout the country.

Central Asia
"I wanted to say that you have great radio programs. I've been listening to you for two months. Surprisingly, your radio gives power. May the Lord protect you. I came to Christ in 2017. I am the only believer in my family. I have suffered a lot because of my faith in Christ. I was fired several times after co-workers learned that I’m a believer.
They even tried to kick me out when I was studying at the institute. It was painful. But the worst part was that we were caught by the national security service, while we were studying the Bible. The case did not come to court, but we were forced to pay a large fine, which I could not afford. They are still trying to persuade me to give up this belief. But I will not do this. I already enjoy suffering for Christ.”
