Pastor Note: It’s important to remember that India has over 1.2 billion people and yet only 2.3% of them are lost.  This leaves over a billion lost people in India alone!

To reach the millions of lost souls in India’s heartland, RODNEY and HELEN CREGG are mastering the language. In addition to sharing their faith, the Creggs are training local believers in their area to be bold in sharing God’s Word by storying through the Bible, thanks in part to our desire to fulfill the Great Commission through CP. “Here in the heart of India, despite persecution and intense spiritual darkness, many churches are being planted, and 80 Hindu priests have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior,” Rodney reports. Take a moment to give praise to God for this wonderful report. This week, ask God to do even more to lift the spiritual darkness in one of the world’s most populated countries.

Strategy coordinators BILL and LINDA EGBERT are celebrating the start of a radio program for their people, the Ngäbe of southern Costa Rica and Panama. The program airs Bible readings, Bible stories, hymns, and sermons in Ngäbere, their native language. The Egberts’ ministry also includes evangelism, discipleship, leadership training, and church planting. A new work has begun in Paredon, Panama, with 19 new brothers and sisters. Our prayers and our commitment to making a difference through CP allow us to partner with the Egberts so they may be able to continue the good work and finish the race with the Ngäbe. Bill and Linda would greatly appreciate your prayers this week.

LUKE 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
