INDIA MISSIONS REPORT

Dr. Abraham T. Thomas, Missionary
Under authority of Cordova MBC

April, 2008

 

 

Dear Pastor, Brothers and Sisters,

In the name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I am sending you greetings from the Baptist work and your missionary Abraham Thomas in India. By the grace of God, the Bible conference and revival meetings for young people were a great blessing. The total attendance was 2,732 and 311 people received Christ. Most of the 447 brothers graduated from our Baptist Seminary are doing hard work to spread the gospel of grace through out this idol worshiping heathen nation. Now we have 40 full time students in the seminary. All our Baptist works in India are always so much thankful to God and you for your prayers and support. Because of the food shortage the prices are almost double than last year, but God is on His throne and all things about the future He knows better than anybody else. By His grace, we have the government license to continue this Baptist works in India. I made the final payment through a bank loan against my house in India. I have to pay off the balance to the bank as early as possible.

Thank you very much for your support sent in April:

April update:

 

Only God can be praised for the completed building and its occupancy by the truth. The building was dedicated and a great successful revival resulting is professions and baptisms has been celebrated.

 

Again as I have reported before, the work of the Seminary is vital for the teaching of our Landmarks that keep the churches in agreement with the Lord’s command to the church, His Church. The young preachers and students attending the Seminary are guided by Brother Abraham and under his supervision are actively learning how to do mission work multiplying the arm of this faithful missionary. It is a work in practice and progress. We do not rely on numbers, however there are results in this kind of missionary plan that the Lord himself demonstrated during his earthly ministry. It is a church sent and authorized way of reaching the lost and dying world with the Gospel of Grace through cooperation and fellowship. The report this month again shows how the Lord is blessing the efforts supported by our faithful supporting churches. Souls saved and new preachers graduated for God’s Glory to the work He has called them.

 

God is continuing to bless his faithful who have not departed from the faith once delivered to the saints. Bro Abraham does not just sit and wait; he goes to the people and gives all his time among the churches and other missionaries all over India. One of his main ministries is to teach and encourage the Landmarks that keep a church faithful and true in the practices of a New Testament Church of the Lord.

 

Brother Abraham is still very burdened about the exchange rate that is devastating the expenses in India. Brother Abraham is committed to the success of the Seminary in India and the importance of it by investing his time and money even his home for the loan.
