Jesus winning Bangladesh

The ongoing Bibles for Mideast ministry in Bangladesh (Pastor Peter Haneef is there now with a team) is progressing amazingly and fruitfully, Pastor Paul reports. The team has covered 550 miles and established 11 churches in just 25 days!

Last Sunday, all eleven of the new churches joined for a worship service in a village community hall. Attendees included women, men and children, all from the Muslim religion. Many shared wonderful testimonies. One middle-aged woman asked the team to visit her house in a jungle area to pray for her husband. For the last 15 years, the husband had been bedridden after being viciously attacked by a jungle animal. Team leader Pastor Hussain shared the message of salvation with him, and also explained how he, formerly Muslim, now followed Jesus.

“Do you believe Jesus can be both Savior and mighty healer?” he asked the man. The fellow affirmed his belief immediately … which is all it took for the pastor and team to begin praying for him. And THAT was all it took for him to be filled with the Holy Spirit! He immediately felt a new, refreshing flow through his veins, and standing up, began praising and thanking Lord Jesus. His witness alone brought many people from that area to the Christian gatherings.

While a corner meeting was going on in another place, an angry Imam and several others from a local mosque tried to stop the gathering, brandishing weapons and threatening to kill the people and burn their van.

In response, Pastor Hussain and the team simply knelt down, closed their eyes, and started praying. A sudden wind gust arose and blew a chili-powder-like red dust over the attackers. The would-be assailants fled immediately, while the gospel team calmly carried on. Each and every villager in attendance accepted Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior!

The team members have been out each day visiting people in their homes, inviting them to attend corner meetings and distributing bibles.

Just last week, we packaged and sent out another 2,000 bibles to the team.  In the time remaining on their mission trip, the team prays and hopes to distribute at least 10,000 bibles and establish 50 churches. Once again thank you for your prayers and kind support; please keep it up!
