E-mail from Minthang Suantak - September 2009
Dear Dr, Garry Tate,
Greeting from your family and church members here in Imphal, Manipur.
Garry, thanks for the funds you transferred via western union, it means so much for us.
Yesterday the 5th,Saturday, I was trying to send you this report however electric wire of our line was broken for some reason, that was the reason I was not able to send you this report. Today they resume it.
Our ministry is really growing and many people came to the Lord last week through the hard labour of our workers.
22 people got save in Myanmar border through the preaching of our pastor. All these 22 people were baptized the next day. They are now becoming a very strong Christian. Out of these 22 people 5 people were healed from their sickness through the prayer of our pastor. Many hundreds of people who were an eye witness of these incident during the open air preaching,, were strongly touched by the spirit and they are now on the process to come to the Lord. Our pastor believed strongly that all the rest of these hundreds of people who were an eye witness during the open air preaching, will also come to the Lord in the next meeting.
In Thoubal town about 37 people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord through an open air preaching of our evangelists, Thoubal town is dominated fully by the hindus it is a very strong Hindu town. However we praise God for His marvelous works amongst the people.
At heirok area last week we conducted one day seminar for Christian and non Christian, during our seminar we preached and teach the good news,, 15 people newly accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord.
Our ministry is growing constantly, please keep praying with us.
Tomorrow we will be having an ordination ceremony of the “ Mate Christian Church fellowship” at Diplomat Centre, Vaiphei Christian Church, inside the church auditorium, I will be the ordaining minister, all together 4 (Four) people will be taking ordination. These 4 people will work for the gospel in a full swing. Please pray for our tomorrow’s program. We expect several hundreds of people from outside,, including many top government official. We will have no class as our students will be busy for Ushers and other arrangement.
God gave us souls and new ministry in a regular basis. It is now 11,45,P.M. and we just finished our meeting with all our church board members for tomorrow’s program. Today being a very big day with all the three preaching and a late meeting at night I am too tired. I will continue to send the rest of the report very soon with the ordination program.
Bless you Garry, and I will send you more reports very soon.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon and to seeing you again very soon.
Your missionary brother.
Minthang Suantak.
