“"Exceptional Work for the Kingdom"”

Thoughts for Today:

One of the indigenous missionaries my wife Sherry and I support is a man by the name of Megh Gurung. He has lived his entire life in Nepal. I've served with him three times over the last seven years, and Sherry once. Each time Megh has worked with us as our guide, translator, and fellow servant in Christ. Over the years, we have become quite close to him and the heart he has to share the Gospel, plant new churches, and disciple other believers. His English isn't very good, but the work he does (or leads) is exceptional. The following is from his most recent email:

Dear Pastor Mike and Sherry,

Greetings in Jesus name! I would like to thank you. Through your prayer I am
recovering my physical body. God has using me for his Kingdom. I sent my friend and another leaders for the opening prayer new Church at Dharmashala, Kot Gaun
village development comity, District Of Rolpa. Last year converted one
family at that place. Now there are 25 people so that I planted the
new church. I didn't went because of my physical health conditions, There are 10
people baptized. Those who are Baptized name are given below.

1- Sar B. BK.
2- Birisa BK.
3- Hasta Mali BK.
4- Nau Sara Pun.
5- Tirtha Mali Pun.
6- Sita Pun
7- Bais Mali BK.
8- Sarkeni BK.
9- Vimshen Gharti.
10- Lukma BK

Please pray for them for grow in faith.

In Him,

Megh Gurung

In our passage, Paul speaks of a brother who "is praised by all the churches for his service to the gospel." This work of serving and sharing the Gospel continues today -- next door and in some very remote places, like Nepal. Throughout the world, people are coming to God in repentance, and receiving the gift of salvation by the blood of His Son Jesus. In Nepal, Megh with his brothers and sisters in Christ, are fully engaged in this great work for the Kingdom. I am honored to be able to share a small part of their story. Great job Megh!

Questions to Ponder:

I wanted to point out the work of one brother in Christ. Please pray for him and the other people who have come to know Jesus recently. Is there other work going on in the world that touches your heart? How can you become more involved?
