G. S. Nair’s March 2018 Prayer Letter

Greetings from Peoples Baptist Ministries to India and Beyond!

It is great to inform you that the Lord enables us day by day to achieve what He wants us to do, and has consistently been able to see His grace and glory through the ministry.

Update on Sarah

Sarah is remarkably recovered from her cancer surgery and her treatment for Parkinson is ongoing.

Debt Retirement

As you may recall, a couple of businessmen and their wives graciously contributed $60,000 toward retiring last year’s debt of $90,000. They sent out a challenge to everyone to provide the additional $30,000 necessary.

The debt retirement-funds are slowly coming in (about 25% of the $30,000) and we thank God for all who are partnering with the ministry that have been able to contribute.

But we need to finish paying off the debt soon because the academic year is going to finish with the graduations.

Graduations

Lord willing, we will have 180 graduates from People’s Baptist Bible College and seminary in Trivandrum, India this March.

We have already had two extension school graduations in February. The rest will take place in March as well as our other two Bible colleges.

Summer Outreach Ministries

As I have explained many times, our Summer Outreach Ministries are the foundation we use to spread the gospel and to plant more churches.

This practical fieldwork helps the students and faculty members to keep involved in fulfilling The Great Commission by winning souls, establishing Bible believing churches, and grounding disciples in the faith.

This year, we will have 65 teams consisting of five students and one faculty member or pastor for each team.

We will send them out during the first week of April.

The Investment

The cost to strengthen our hands to send these teams out is $2,700 per team. That means we need to invest a total of $175,500 in this effort.

Although this seems like an insurmountable investment to us it is not to our Lord. And last year over 12,000 men women and children trusted the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are anticipating even greater results than this this year.

Pray with us that the Lord may help us to be more faithfully winning souls and establish more churches through this year’s Summer Outreach Ministry.

Here are a few photos of my recent trip to Northeast India…

A meeting of a group of churches, many of which are pastored by graduates of People’s Baptist Bible College and Seminary February 9-11, 2018 in the state of Assam in northeast India. There were about 20,000 to 25,000 in attendance for the four days with 1,000-2,000 making professions for Christ. The area in front is open so that people can come forward.

As is the custom, men and women are segregated. The meetings were for edification of the saints as well.

Oppositions

We have had a lot of distractions and oppositions to the ministry due to the anti-Christian spirit from major political parties. Unfortunately, our troubles have been met with silence from the authorities.

Pray for the graduations and that the various meetings may go well.

With Kind Regards,
