Northchase ESL Missions

On Tuesday, Meggan, the kids, and I met with Santosh Ramadan and his family. He is a Nepali pastor for a new church plant that meets in one of the rooms at North Peach Tree Baptist Church off of Tilly Mill Road. He has an incredible testimony of faith in the Lord (former imprisonment and persecution that led to his faith in Christ), and I pray that we will be able to partner together in reaching these Nepali people, of which there are about 8,000 in the Atlanta area. O Lord, open up your heavens and pour forth your blessings upon us that we might go out with great wisdom and boldnes! Amen!

Santosh invited me to preach on Sunday, and I have been led to preach from Acts 17, which is where Paul powerfully proclaims the gospel in the midst of a polytheistic environment in Athens, Greece. Santosh will be translating as I speak, so do pray for smooth transitions, and especially pray that hearts are receptive to hear the gospel. We are only instruments; only God can change the heart.

In light of our meeting with Santosh, I pray fervently that seeds which have been planted via ESL will now begin to germinate as these Hindus repent according to God's plan and purpose.

To Him be the glory! Amen!
