"Through 22 years of growth, God has called me to wholeheartedly pursue a fasted lifestyle of surrendered lovesickness. God has an intense fire burning and growing in me, an unstoppable zeal, and unending love for Jesus. I am a sojourner on earth, an eternal citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, a forerunner, and a watchman preparing the way for the glorious and imminent return of Jesus,
by sharing the Gospel as a world missionary."

A Cry for Revival

BELT Update
God has exponentially blessed our time and relationships here in West Bengal, India. I write this simple update loaded with pictures to encourage you with the work God is doing here in Asia. We finished the first week of our BELT (Biblical Education & Leadership Training) outreach with inspiring stories. Many Sadri young adults have gathered together to learn how to worship the One True God in both Spirit and Truth.
I've really grown to love the teachings Pursuit of Truth and Intercession! Everyone really got excited about passionately pursuing an intimate relationship with Jesus! Our BELT participants keep testifying how they love all of our illustrations, posters, stories, and dramas. There is an Asian proverb that says "I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand." We are believing if the students have not learned, then we have not taught. We are learning to teach profound truths with simplicity. The purpose of the truth is to be applied and it will most assuredly set people free! Hallelujah!
Their Story
We are also laying a foundation with the overview of the Bible. This stems from our belief that the Word of God is the seed of Liberty for all nations. Over the summer, we compiled our artistic abilities and painted the story of the Bible on a long timeline. We even have a lively set of hand actions to walk these indigenous people through the Bible. They Love it. We asked why. One of the locals responded.


"We do not have the Bible in our language, nor do we have any solid Biblical Training for our people group of six million. You have now brought the Bible School to our doorsteps! This is so powerful and we are so grateful." Gyuan. Then we understood: they do not have the Word of God in their own mother tongue! God is graciously bringing the Gospel to this people group through our simple sacrifice of coming here on one way tickets and sharing the revelation we have.


"We have never heard teaching like this before. We always forget many words, but we will never forget these pictures. We want to draw all of these pictures and teach them to our church and family. " Susma & Premmika & Sipkumer


Prayer Requests
I could ask you to pray that our teachings would go well, but my heart cry is for so much more! I want to see Revival break out because I know God wants to release His Spirit! We're teaching about Sin & Salvation this next week so please ask God to anoint our hearts with humility. We desire a revelation of God's kindness to lead us into radical repentance. Furthermore, we desire this revival of our hearts to bring transformation in all spheres of Indian society throughout this region. India will worship Jesus as their one true King. GLORY!
