The Lord is so good that He is helping us to work in Assam with very good harvest. The weather in Assam now is pleasant except you need mosquito net all the time. My father-in-law Lt. Shokhuyi Sema died out of cerebral malaria as for 15 years he worked hard in Assam without proper care for malaria. After his death I visited Assam every month and shared the Gospel with many Hindus and Muslims. It is exciting to see many of them are hungry after the truth and in the midst of opposition they came and listens us. Some of them invited us to come again. Now we have four contact points and visiting them now and then. They are Hindu villages. The response is very good.
1. DEDICATION OF ALAKJERI CHURCH. Alakjeri Church was dedicated on October 23, 2005 at 10 AM but meeting went on till 12:30 PM as many people wanted to say something. It was wonderful celebrations with singing and preaching. We invited Hindus and many of them attended. This is the 23rd Church planted so far. We provided lunch and they enjoyed with us and had a wonderful fellowship during the lunch time. I preached from Psalms 115:3-8. When I challenged the Hindus to talk to their idols because they have mouths but they do not speak; they have eyes but do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear etc. they listened the message seriously. The dedication was well attended and after we left the Hindu priest of Alakjeri village accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and many more will join him. Please pray for Alakjeri Village for the 200 Hindu families living in this village.
2. C.P.Sharma our Evangelist was food poisoned on November 01,2005 when he was sharing the Gospel in one Hindu Village. November 01 was a Hindu festival known as 멏iwali? All over the country the Hindus celebrated Diwali with lot of lights decorated in their shops and houses and lots of fire crackers on the night of November 01. It was on this Sharma went to a village and preached the Gospel. He is now under medication. Please pray for him for quick recovery as he is very weak. He is very strong Evangelist and the Hindus do not like to see him coming to their locality.
3. Four Contact Points has been established and visiting these four villages now and then. Some of them have decided to accept Jesus Christ but gave us some time to wait for them for taking water baptism. We are praying for God뭩 protection on our workers to reach more people. Please pray for these four points in four villages that God will touch them and very soon four new churches may be planted. Our target for 2005 is four or five new churches and God helped us and planted three new churches this year. My wife and me fasting and praying for seven days Nov.01-07 for Assam and for all of you and for us.
4. Thank you sponsors, prayer partners and supporters of Assam mission. We are praying for more God뭩 blessings on all of you. The original Assamese is called AHOMS and the population is 13 million. Among the original Assamese(13 million) there are less than 500 believers. We need many partners to reach Assam. Please pray for partners to reach Assam together. God bless you! Sincerely in Christ, Hevukhu Acumi
