01.29Help train a Pastor in India
One of the best ways to reach the world with the good news of Jesus is to train Pastors. I have a number of friends who have been involved in doing this in short-term stints in India and Africa with great fruit. My sister and her husband (Jen & Martin Shadwick) are taking a team over in about a week to teach a stack of Indian Pastors using Moore College notes. It’s really exciting. I’d love it if you’d consider partnering with them by prayer support and/or financial support. See their email below…
We write to let you know about an exciting way in which you can partner us as we go to India next week to train pastors from across the south of India.
We will be spending 2 weeks in India with 3 students from Newcastle Christian Students. Leaving Saturday 6th Feb and returning the 21st Feb (the 22nd is the beginning of O-week!!!). We are going in partnership with The Indian Gospel League. This organisation is doing amazing things in India – particularly in the area of Church Planting (1000s of churches a year!!).
The first week will be spent training pastors in Salem from the book of Ephesians (Moore College Preliminary Theological Certificate). Martin will be doing the majority of the lectures with 2 of our students teaching one unit each as well. We will all be involved in leading small discussion groups that are based around the lectures.
The second week will be spent in Bangalore and we will be teaching Old Testament 1 (Moore College Preliminary Theological Certificate).
The pastors who come to spend the week with us – will often be travelling long distances to be trained more thoroughly in the bible. We would love to sponsor pastors so that they are not needing to pay anything to attend the course. We think there will be about 50 pastors and the cost for each (on average) is about $100. So far we have raised enough for 25 of these pastors. But would love you to help with the remaining 25 (thankyou if you have already supported a pastor!!). We hope to have all money raised by Wednesday so that we have time to transfer the funds to the Indian Gospel League.
Can you help? Would you like to sponsor a pastor and partner with us financially in this important ministry?
If you would like to help… it is as simple as transferring $100 into the NCS bank account. Please label the deposit “India Support”.
Account Name: Newcastle Christian Students
Account number 980 013 703
BSB 650 000 (Newcastle Permanent)
We are all feeling pretty excited but also working pretty hard to get our preparation completed.
Please also pray for us…
Pray for Martin as he has such a large load.
Pray that Martin and Jen will lead the team well.
That we would all work well together.
Please pray that we will communicate God’s word simply and clearly and the Pastors will understand God and his word more.
Pray for our health – we are a little nervous about the prospect of gastro away from the comforts of home.
Please pray that we would be sensitive to cultural differences, humble and dependent on God in everything.
We appreciate your prayerful and financial support
Martin and Jen.
thanks to those who prayed for martin and jen.
i chatted to them last night. the trip went really well.
lots of great opportunities to train pastors.
it sounds like the indian gospel league is a great organisation. if you’re suitably qualified – have a think about doing a trip to india to train pastors.
peaceout homies.

YANIDHI COMMUNITY
—————–
During our annual convention meetings I was staying in a lodge in Rapelli,Guntur District AP. From the balcony I just peeped down the street, here I saw two little girls dirty and barely clothed searching for food in the gutter waters of the lodge. This water was an open drainage for the entire street. Such was their hunger and desperate need; these girls were searching for something to eat in black gutter waters. To my anguish I saw one of the girls find a gooseberry from those dirty gutters. She just wiped it in her clothing and started to eat. Latter these children moved to a near by open trash can where there were some pigs searching for food. These girls also joined along with them searching something to eat. My heart was broken and burdened for these children. I enquired about them from the lodge manager and found out that they belong to a particular community called Yanadhi community. Immediately I sent my assistant to get more details of this community. I also personally went to the hamlets where they lived.
In twenty First century in modern era where India is marching towards great economical freedom this community people have never been to school. They live on the river banks and canals of Andhra. They hunt rats and fish for survival. The male folk plant coconut trees for rich landlords. They live in a very unhealthy and unhygienic situation. Pigs and people live together. And they are treated as untouchables in the community. Most of the children had sores and unhealed wounds in their body. Immediately we went village after village talking to the village heads to send their children to school. Some of the village heads refused to send them to school saying if their children went to school instead of catching rats it will be a curse on the community. We started a home with a passion for these children and to see their lives transformed, now there are more than 25 children in this home under the care OF US.
For the first time this children sleep on mats, have pillows, use tooth brushed, wear slippers, watch television, drink safe water, wear good clothes, go to school in dignity and above all get to know there is a loving Savoir behind.Please pray for this kids and our good work for the lord.Brothers and sisters Please tell to your friends and family about this home.We are looking up your prayer and kind visite with mercy help in christ.May the blessings of the lord be with you all allways Aman Aman Aman
Yours brotherly
in christ
