Global Reach Updates

Global Reach Updates

Thank you for partnering with our friends and fields in Global Reach. Please continue praying for our Haiti and Latin America fields, and India as they are struggling through challenging difficulties. Please celebrate the following updates from our Global Reach fields. Remember to pray for our leaders as they serve God and share the Good News with seekers.

Haiti

Stanley Lambert (right) joined the Project Help-Haiti team in mid-April as the PHH Hospital Administrator. He is a graduate of the Physical Therapy school and had run his own clinic in Port-au-Prince before fleeing to the Dominican Republic with his wife and children. Pray for him as he tackles the many challenges facing the hospital.

Latino Ministries

Pastor Victor Montalvo (pictured at left with his wife, Alma) has agreed to serve as Co-Leader of Latino Ministries, and he plans to visit all the Latino fields in the coming year. He pastors the “Palabra de Vida” Church of God in San Diego, CA, and helps the California Eldership oversee two mission churches in Mexico. Please be in prayer for him while he travels and acclimates to his Global Reach position. He is juggling several roles. Please consider supporting Victor financially as he serves. His support account number is GR 2755.

Bangladesh

Musical instruments (Harmonium) were donated to a few village churches. It is a joyous occasion for them to receive and make part of their worship time. Many thanks to God and brothers and sisters of Churches of God in the USA. There was a time of communion for the worshippers too.

Many thanks for the provision of bicycles and the new microbus. They are such blessings and ministry tools. The Mission has measured for microbus seat covers and poly coversheet for the floor. Pictured at right are some of the Bangladesh Mission staff by the new microbus.

At the request of our India and Bangladesh Missions, we are planning a celebration to commemorate the 125th year since the establishment of our India/Bangladesh Missions. It will be held in Bangladesh along with some teaching sessions from October 23-27, 2023. If you have interest in attending, please contact Travis Helm at travis@cggc.org or 567-301-5088. You would need to set aside at least 8 total days for the trip and the approximate travel costs would be $2,600 plus the cost of a Bangladesh visa. We hope to have many of the Mission staff in attendance and we could use donations to help fund the lodging and food for the event. If you want to help, you can give to “GR2705-125th celebration.”

India

The India Mission recently held two and a half days of teaching sessions on Old Testament Survey, New Testament and Study Method with social responsibilities like Tree Planting, Environment, and Child Education for the community leaders. This is important as many of our staff become certified as “social workers.” It is becoming more important to be certified in the eyes of the government.

The Mission also recently held a two-day “Vacation Children School” which is a children's Bible class. Sixty-eight children attended and all of them were of non-Christian faiths. They enjoyed numerous fun activities as well as lessons from the Bible.

Thank you for all the prayers and support that each of you give to keep these ministries active.
