I just returned from 18 days in India and Nepal. It was a wonderful time and I am blessed to be able to meet with so many pastors and leaders. In India I spent 4 days with over 200 pastors and leaders, teaching and encouraging them. I am not disclosing the location at the request of the director. However, I was encouraged to see what is taking place in certain areas of India.

In Nepal, I taught at 2 Pastors and Leaders conferences with 2 different organizations. The leaders are pressing on, sometimes in the face of some harsh realities. In each case, the days spent with them were precious and I am grateful to be able to teach and encourage them.

I also went to the orphanage we support and spent time with the leaders and the children. One of the highlights was taking them all out for a lunch. This is a real (and rare) treat for them and they thoroughly relished the time. The kids are now immersed in their studies, preparing for school.

Thanks for your interest!

Hi everyone,

Well. it is mid-August and I am looking forward to going to Indonesia next month for a week of ministry. I will leave on the 11th and arrive into Jakarta on the 12th. I will then fly to a city called Solo and from there will go to a city called Wonogiri. I will first preach on Sunday morning the 15th (worship service is at 6:20 AM), followed by teaching a Sunday school class for men. On Monday the 16th I will teach at a youth retreat from 9-11 AM with about 100-120 young people in attendance. That afternoon at 3 PM I will preach at the 44th Anniversary Celebration of Baptist Church Wongiri.

On the 17th and 18th I will be teaching the young adult students at a Bible School and having Q & A sessions. They will be 19-23 years of age and will go on to be either educators or pastors.

Finally, Thursday the 19th will be a day of teaching young pastors and leaders with Q & A sessions as well.

I will then fly back to Jakarta on Friday, the 20th and on to Seattle on the 21st.

I am asking for prayers for effectiveness and for good health and safety throughout.

Thank you so much!

Hello again,

During these next couple of months I will be focusing on completing the teachings for the filming project. I will also continue to lead the Tuesday evening home Bible study which I have been leading for over 30 years. We will be hosting guests on a few occasions and that is always a great blessings for us.

Of course, if an opportunity for teaching presents itself, I am always ready.

Though it will be a relatively quiet time for traveling, there will be lots of work going on behind the scenes in preparing for the future.

Once again, prayers are appreciated.

Thank you!

David
