Hey Family
and Friends,
I hope that all of you are safe and doing
well. I’m doing good. This month has been a lot more fast-moving for me as I’m
helping my sister Santhiya with the Family Support Program. I’m helping her
with updating the Kids’ information, the new children that have joined the
program, and the tuition center program. I’ve been doing a lot of data
entry and even though it doesn’t sound very exciting, I consider this part of
ministry as I’m able to get to know about the kids, their stories, and their background. It has opened my heart and mind to being more grateful and have compassion for them. I’m more aware of the children in the program now than I
have been before.
My friend Ritika got an opportunity to open
up about her faith to her family. Although they weren’t very happy about it,
she is able to talk more freely to them about Jesus and pray for them. It isn’t
easy for her to be the only Christian in her family but the Lord has been good
to her. I’m able to encourage her and tell her that she’s not alone. She has
God with her even closer to her than before, that she has her spiritual family
behind her, praying for her and supporting her.
I also started working part-time at The Daily
Bean and I are really happy to be back there again. It’s not for very long but
I’m glad to be of help there too!! I get to minister to my bosses by working
for them and serve the customers too!! I try to be as available as I can to any
who needs help. I’m hoping that I could carry the presence of God even at work
and to the customers I serve.
This month I’m learning how to dwell in the
presence of God even in the mundane things and daily routine of life. My family
has been doing a Bible study on the book of Mark and we listen to Francis Chan’s
teaching on this book. I’ve been able to get a different perspective on this
book as one of the points that really stuck put to me or that I resonate with
is not losing the fascination of the Good News. In this time and generation, we
easily put the Good News of Jesus along with our daily life’s good news and we
don’t even realize it. I can say that I
have done that and I got convicted of it. I’m humbled by His holiness and His
decision to make the Good News known to me, a lowly human deserving death. But
because of his goodness and Unconditional love for me he chose to bring me into
his family and kingdom. He gave up His son Jesus for me!! I am saved!! I am
loved!!
Some prayer points are:
1. Please pray for Ritika. Pray for
more of Jesus and that she would feel his presence tangible, like a blanket
around her. She would feel the peace of God and that she would be able to lead
her family to Jesus.
2. Please pray for the tuition center
that the FSP is trying to set up. It’s not easy setting up extra classes for
the children with all the Coronavirus chaos.
3. Please pray for the Daily Bean. Pray
that God would send more customers and that we’d be able to serve and work
well.
