New Schools in Tsunami Areas (muna)
Dear Fellow Worker,
The 4th of June, 2007 may have been the most exciting day, to date, in the India tsunami work. After more than two years of preparation, classes started in four new schools of preaching in the tsunami areas. Almost all of these men were baptized during the relief work and they have been working zealously. God has blessed their efforts and we now have 71 new congregations of the churches of Christ, approximately 2,500 baptized, in these previously devastated areas. These new preacher trainees have proven their faith through difficult persecutions. Because of their decision to follow Christ some have been put out of their houses. Others have lost jobs and material goods. However, they have persisted in teaching the gospel to their friends and family members, with great results. We can only imagine what these evangelists will be like after receiving more formal Bible training. With God’s blessing, we anticipate an explosion of souls saved in the coming year.
The financial responsibility for these seventy tsunami Bible students is costing $3,500 monthly ($50 per student). These new obligations are in addition to the other seven schools already funded through Banner Elk. We are thrilled at this opportunity that God has afforded all of us. Now we are requesting continued help for that which we have started together.
Would you, or your congregation, be willing to take on the support for two of these preacher training students for one year ($100)? Our men are trained in a profession in order that they can be self-supported in their ministry after graduation. Our teachers love the truth and these men are taught strictly according to the “oracles” of God (I Peter 4:11). If you have any questions about this mission work in Tamil Nadu, India, our soundness, what we teach or our dedication, please call me (828-963-5172).
Your Brother,
Don Iverson
