Reaching Our Nation and the World with You
By Tom Shanklin
Our Believers School of Ministry in Gary, Minnesota in April went well. This time we held it on a Friday night and all day Saturday. This gave us time to have four lessons, plus times of practical application where we role played sharing our testimonies and leading others to Christ.
Some people who have attended our school in different locations have already begun sharing their testimonies with others. We also heard from another friend who is using our teaching materials to lead a Bible study on evangelism. We believe that we are planting seeds that will bring forth a harvest in the earth. This may seem like a small thing, but in reality this is what the real move of God is all about in this hour. God wants to activate His body to reach the world with the message of His love. We need to cooperate with Him in this hour to train, activate and encourage ordinary believers to reach the world.
If you would like to hold a school in your church, please let me know. For our friends in other nations, we are not able to fulfill all the requests to come to you, but when we cannot come, we are working to provide online materials that you can use to start your own school. You can find videos, audios, teaching notes and more information from the Believers School of Ministry here.
Opportunity to Touch a Nation
We have a great opportunity for Jesus right now to touch the nation of Nepal. As many of you know, I was in Nepal in November of last year. Now the door has opened for us to have our book, “You Can Touch the World” translated into the Nepalese language, and then printed and distributed among church leaders.
Since a transition to democracy in 2005, Nepal has become a nation ripe for the harvest. Since “You Can Touch the World” is all about encouraging and teaching people how to evangelize, I believe that the timing is perfect for the translation of this book.
We hope to begin the work of translating the book in June. A well-qualified professional Christian translator is ready to the do the work. Then when the remainder of the fund come in, we can have the books printed and distributed. The total cost of the Nepal book project is $3,000. If you would like to invest in this soul winning project, you may designate a missions offering here.
Prayer for Our Upcoming Meetings
Please pray for our upcoming meetings, including a three days of healing services on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Agree with me for the Lord to stretch forth his hand to heal in the name of His Holy child Jesus. (Acts 4:30) We are also holding a healing service in Spring Grove, MN, on June 1. These meetings will focus on healing for the total man—spiritual healing, relational healing, emotional healing and physical healing.
For those of you who live in these areas, we would love to see you! If you cannot come, please pray for our God to meet the needs of people, just like He did when Jesus was on the earth. After all, Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12, KJV. I’m excited to share that in June Susan will once again be sharing at the Kids at the Point Youth Camp in Hendricks, MN. Check out more on our schedule.
Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and prayers. You are our strategic partners to reach our nation and the world! Please contact us so we can know how we can pray for you!
