The Jeramy Anderson Evangelistic Association: ESL/Northchase English Bible Study 4-28-09

Our Strategic Focus

Trekking Grace

We trek grace both spiritually and physically. Spiritually, everywhere we go, we seek to spread the message of God's grace through the sacrifice of jesus Christ on the Cross. Physically, we trek in various terrains that we are enabled to hike into. This type of frontier work was begun in 2006 and is incredible; it has already been used where we have trekked, and we hope to be scheduling another trek soon.

Equipping the Church

Evangelism primarily happens through encounters that every believer has throughout life. First of all, the Scripture commands us to never divorce ministry between private and public life (1 Peter), for ministry encompasses all of life. At the same time, God specially gifts and raises up beloved saints whom He has called out to teach and equip His Church. For this reason, we seek to use the gifts God has bestowed upon us to equip local churches by teaching them how to better evangelize and disciple those around them in this Postmodern Era in which we live. We do this by asserting both Biblical Authority and Biblical Sufficiency. Truly, the Bible is both authoritative and sufficient for salvation and godliness. They are two sides of the same coin and, therefore, cannot and must not be separated from each other. Because one or both are denied today, evangelism and discipleship has become stale and impotent. However, when both authority and sufficiency are proclaimed from Genesis to Revelation, the Lord is glorified as His Word is used to radically change the hearts of His Beloved Sheep from all tribes, nations, and tongues! Amen!

ESL/Northchase English Bible Study 4-28-09

All went well tonight. The Lord continues to bless this outreach, and we are on our knees in prayer asking him to change the hearts of these people. We had between 30-35 people again for the ESL. We went through directions and transportation tonight, and, after we broke down into smaller groups, we conducted the market again.

We had 3-4 people stay for the Bible Study, and it was incredible. The Lord blessed immensely, and one lady from Nepal seemed to truly be understanding what we were teaching about Christ. By God's grace, we were able to communicate the gospel clearly, simply, and accurately through both handouts and pictorially through drawings. To give the gospel to someone who had never heard the true gospel before and to see her eyes open up wide was incredible. She just lit up when we spoke of Jesus being able to clean our hearts, and she asked us if He really did raise from the dead as we had said! Oh God, open the eyes of this woman's heart and the hearts of her people. We worship you O King of kings and Lord of lords! Amen!

I have also attached some some exterior photos of the building along with some snapshots of the surrounding area near it. As you can see, this facility is in desperate need of repair, especially the electrical work and the flooding of the main room we use. The only way we can bring lit pictures to you is through the flash on the camera; otherwise it is dark, except for lights from some lamps and whatever we get from the sun. May the Lord provide for these needs as He prompts people to use their gifts in this Life-changing ministry.
