ASSAM NEWS LETTER AUGUST 2005
Greetings in Christ from Assam mission field. Our God is good and so gracious to us and working many good things in our field in Hindu villages of Assam. Recently I came back from Assam뭩 visit. I visited churches and encouraged them to be more stronger in the Lord and be active witnesses to the unreached in their own villages. The Lord helped to visit two Hindu villages and witnessed to them. There was opposition in Village but other village we visited was so good and planted church. They are:
1.BHAGDUBHA VILLAGE.
This is a strong Hindu village but I went with the team and witnessed to them. There were opposition but by God뭩 grace there was physical attack and the Lord spoke to few of them as I witnessed to them. Three of them of them accepted the Lord and were baptized and now we have started fellowship with the three new believers here. Mr. Sonathan Kolita is the leader of the fellowship. He was beaten black and blue by the villagers(Hindus) after his baptism and now he is outcaste in his village. The village authority has passed resolutions to remove all the rights and privileges in his own village because of his faith in Christ. No body in the village is allowed to visit his house and he is not allowed to visit any family of the village. Yet Sonathan is very strong in his faith and could stand in the midst of persecutions. Please pray for Sonathan and Bhagdubha village.
2. ALOKJARI VILLAGE.
Alokjari is a Boro tribe village having 200 Hindu families. We spent two days in this village but God was with us and there was no opposition. On second day fourteen (14) accepted the Lord and were baptized. We have planted a church in this village and church construction is on now and I am praying to dedicate this church in November. Many people came and listened us and many of them said we will become Christians but they asked me to wait some more days to understand more. We are praying that the Lord will speak to all 200 Hindu families in this village. Please pray for this Alokjari Village and ask God to give us the whole 200 families within few years and I believe it is possible with the power of the Lord.
3. NEW BAPTIZM TILL NOW.
From January to August there were 69 (sixty nine) new water baptism (new believers). They were all Hindus and the Lord spoke to them and now they came to the Light of Jesus Christ. There are some more people who have decided to take water baptism but waiting for some days. Some of them are because of the opposition in their families and in their villages. Please pray for those who have accepted Christ and waiting for water baptism that they may not be discouraged by the Hindus.
4. REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Chizami Baptist Church invited me for revival meeting. Chizami is Chakhesang tribe in Nagaland and the membership of the Church is 2000 without children. I preached five times and the Holy Spirit touched many people. The great outpouring of the Holy Spirit came down on Saturday and Sunday nights. People could not stop dancing and praying and many were blessed and also many healing took place. The last part of September and October I have four revival meetings- two in Sumi (my tribe)Churches, one in Nepali Church and one in Arunachal Pradesh our neighboring state. Please pray for all these meetings as I need more power for helping His people.
5. CONSTRUCTIONS. The constructions of the training center is on full swing and praying for God뭩 speed. The foundations work is completed and the work is more speed after foundations. It is interesting to see the progress of the construction works and thanking God daily. Please pray for this constructions till the completion of the total project. Sincertely in Christ, Hevukhu Achumi
