Subject: Lepers praying from India

Greetings to you in the precious name of our lord Jesus Christ. It is my privilege writes an email to you and share about burden God had laid in our hearts to reach unreached and care for the untouchables in our land of India. We are team of pastors and a minister preaches the Gospel in the rural, tribal, and remote areas of the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Out of the population of a billion people in India, only 2.4% are Christian. We have we have very little support except to feed and care for the lepers, poor widows and orphan children. The streets are full of children and victims of leprosy who have no place to live except on the street. They are basically starving. We can not provide housing for these people, but they do take to the streets with food and utensils so the people you see pictured will not die of starvation.

It cost very little to feed many people in India. I, Pastor Matthew Raju and his fellow workers are also not well off, sacrificing their own lives to help these “untouchables.” They are mocked and persecuted and have to take care of their own families and depend totally on God's provision to continue their ministry. Most of them walk to proclaim the gospel because they have no bicycles.

Whatever size contribution you make to us is directly used in the Kingdom of God. The Lord will bless you for it. Giving to the poor is lending to God. That's like a money-back guarantee!

Your brother in Jesus.

Pray for Gospel for Asia Film Team Members

Attack, Accusations against GFA Film Team

April 15, 2010

Gospel for Asia film teams travel throughout Asia showing a movie about the life of Jesus.

A Gospel for Asia-supported film team in Jharkhand, India, was attacked by villagers who also stole their equipment. The incident occurred on March 30 when the film team was showing a movie about the life of Christ in a small village. A group of angry villagers interrupted the show and began beating the three missionaries and the local pastor who was working with them. Then they snatched up all the film equipment and ran away.
The equipment was returned to the film team the next day, but there was no apology for the assaults. Instead, the villagers have accused the film team of disturbing the peace in the village. The film team must now appear before local law enforcement officials to answer the claims.
The team members ask for prayer that the Lord will grant His protection over them and that they will be found innocent when they appear before the local court. They also ask for prayer for the people who assaulted them, that their hearts would be open to the Gospel. They are also praying they will be able to show the film in that village again.

• Gospel for Asia film teams show the way to Jesus to thousands of South Asians.

When Gulsoom was 15, she was forced to marry a 40-year-old man. Her husband was an addict who regularly beat her. Feeling trapped in her abusive marriage, Gulsoom attempted suicide by setting herself on fire. Afghan women deserve to live free from abuse. » More and more Afghan women are resorting to suicide in order to escape abuse within forced marriages. The situation worsened last year when the Karzai government passed a law legalizing marital rape. For many women, death seems like the only way out. Women should not be treated as second-class citizens. But until the Karzai government enforces protection of womens' rights and outlaws domestic violence, the women of Afghanistan will continue to seek refuge through suicide. Tell the President of Afghanistan that women need to be protected from violence and abuse. » Thanks for taking action!

Missionary's and Christians' Homes Burned in Bangladesh

March 3, 2010

Anti-Christian extremists burned down several homes of Christians in Bangladesh earlier this week. Most people in Bangladesh live in simple structures like the one shown here.

A Gospel for Asia–supported missionary and several Christian families are homeless after anti-Christian extremists burned down their homes earlier this week. The attacks occurred in Bangladesh near the border with India.

Missionary Iqbal Hasan is the pastor of a church in this area.

The homes were completely destroyed, and the Christians could not salvage any of their belongings.

Gospel for Asia ministry leaders are providing for the immediate needs of the affected Christians, and they will help them rebuild once it becomes safe to do so.

In the meantime, they request prayer for comfort and for God's provision. Also pray for those who are persecuting these believers to come to know Him.

Be an advocate for the Voice of the Martyrs

BE AN ADVOCATE FOR OUR IMPRISONED BROTHERS AND SISTERS	March 01, 2010
Dear Friends: One feature of the Be-A-Voice Network is that it provides volunteers the opportunity to write to Christians who are imprisoned for their faith. A price cannot be placed on the joy and encouragement these letters bring our imprisoned brothers and sisters. They are often told by authorities that they are forgotten, that no one knows or cares about them. Your letters let the prisoners know that other Christians care about them and pray for them. Family photos and greeting cards are especially cherished. We cannot guarantee that every letter will be received by the prisoner to whom you write. Nevertheless, we strongly encourage you to make the effort — someone will likely read it. We also encourage you to write to government officials on behalf of Christian prisoners. By becoming an "advocate," you are entering into the vital ministry of intercession for and solidarity with those who suffer for their fai th in Christ. Your involvement makes a difference: • It testifies of the love and unity found among followers of Jesus Christ throughout the world. • It is a witness to imprisoned Christians and authorities you write to as well as to authorities who may censor letters intended for the prisoner. • It can result in better treatment for a prisoner. Authorities in many nations are sensitive about their image abroad. When they realize outsiders are monitoring a prisoner’s situation, their treatment of the prisoner may improve. We have a clear scriptural mandate for this kind of ministry. Please read and pray through the following verses, which will help you understand the role you are undertaking. This is no doubt front-line spiritual warfare, and you will want to pray through the thoughts you express in your letter. Hebrews 13:3, Matthew 25:34–40, Matthew 5:10, 1 Peter 3:13–17, 1 Peter 4:12–14. For FAQs and more detailed information a bout writing to prisoners and government officials, please visit www.prisoneralert.com. For other inquiries, please contact info@be-a-voice.net.
