September ’10 Partnerletter
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010 | GJITCM Partner Letters
September 2010
Dear Friends,
“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city.”
· Acts 8:5-8
I am writing this letter from our new home in Bangalore, India. Although we are still waiting for the 40’ ship container to arrive with all our house furniture and goods, we are making due with rental furniture and basics. Still, we are greatly enjoying this new home and praising the Lord for giving us such a wonderful blessing.
With each passing day, God confirms more and more how much this move to India was divinely ordained. We have witnessed some mighty miracles already (I am not exaggerating) that defy logic, and which have helped eased the transition from Singapore – International moves are difficult, but a move to India has its special obstacles that truly make this country globally recognized as a “hardship posting”; but God’s grace and mighty hand was truly in manifestation. among other things we finally received our multi-entry visas.
The multi-entry visa will be very necessary, as I will be flying to the US on September 10th. I have been asked to By Pastor Tracy Harris to speak at his ministers’ conference in Texarkana, TX. I ask you to keep my travel in your prayers – I will be traveling from September 10-19. I have a powerful Word from the Lord about Kingdom that I will be sharing; and I am expecting God to confirm His Word with great Signs, Wonders and Miracles!
Pakistan Ministry
I have some wonderful news about our ministry in Pakistan. After inquiries from Kenneth Copeland Ministries–Europe, we partnered together (with some other ministries) to assist in bringing relief to the people affected by the Pakistan flood disaster. As many of you know, Pakistan has been hit by devastating floods that have left millions homeless. Many areas of Pakistan were affected – including southern Punjab state (Lahore, where GJITCM-Pakistan has its country office, is the capital of Punjab state) and the northern areas in the state of Sindh and the area around Peshawar. GJITCM-Pakistan Country Director, Rev Tahir Rafiq, did an outstanding job putting a plan of action into affect. He contacted our Bond Servant of Christ Ministerial Fellowship members in the city of Multan (close to the area affected in southern Punjab state), and got a firsthand assessment of what was need by the flood affected families – FOOD! So Tahir and our GJITCM associate Pastor Asif traveled to Multan and with the finances we sent, they bought food that could feed a Pakistani family (usually large families) for one week: 10 Kg of flour, 1 Kg of cooking oil, 1 Kg of sugar, 1 kg of beans, 2 kg of rice, 6 liters of water, one week’s supply of tea and various spices.
The plan was to reach Christian families in particular, as the Pakistan Islamic government would be focusing their relief efforts towards the Muslim population. Tahir and the team traveled as far as 1oo kms from Multan trying to reach families devastated by the floods – leaving homes and relocating in other areas without food to eat. Hundreds of Christian families were provided food for one week that could tie them over till the flood waters receded.
Tahir and the team were also able to give food packages to 58 Muslim families who they met along the way – Muslim families were seeking shelter near roads in tents. Tahir reports that the Muslim people were shocked when he told them that he was a Christian and wanted to share the love of Christ with them by giving them food. They received the food and God’s love very gratefully – Praise the Lord!
Till next time -
You are loved and blessed of God – and by me,
Dr. Will Pantin
