CRITICISM

When I was in the undergraduate studies in a college, one of our assignments was to read a Greek Mythology book, called Hercules. The story was very interesting reading with a moral in it. One day, Hercules was walking down the road when he was attacked by a beast. He beat him off with his club and went his way. But when he was turning the next curve, there was the beast again. This time the beast was three times bigger than the last time. Once again Hercules tried to beat the beast off. To his surprise, Hercules found out that with his each blow, the beast grew larger and larger. Finally, Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, appeared and told him that the beast name was "Strife" and that if it was left alone it would become as small or smaller than it was before.
Criticism is like that. It is painful to take criticism especially from some one whom we never expected from criticizes you. Often our first response is to strike back when we were criticized. I know, because in the early part of my ministry my critics said such unbelievable and unsubstantiated things about me I wanted to tell them off and shut their mouth. But I remembered my English Language professor who told us, "Class, don't ever strike back, if you are in the right and has a pure conscience before God. God will vindicate you and you cannot shut down truth for ever". Through the years of my ministry, I found what he said is true.
Trust yourself to God, and He will vindicate you- if you don't strike back!

"For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His foot steps. He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit(guile) ever found on His lips. When He was reviled and insulted. He did not revile or offer insult in return;[when] He was abused and suffered, He made no threats [of vengeance]; but He trusted[Himself and everything] to Him Who judges fairly".
1 Peter: 2.21-23. Amplified Version.

"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God". KJV.
2 Corinthians:1. 3-4.

MINISTRY UPDATE

During the months of October and November 2008, Pastor Samuel Isaac, Saramma Isaac, and a medical team went to visit and to encourage pastors, believers, young missionaries and their families. A team of four doctors, three registered nurses and supporting staffs conducted the medical camps. During the evenings, Gospel meetings were conducted, as well. We had experienced a tremendous outpouring of the Holy Spirit in those meetings. Hundreds came forward to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. The Lord confirmed His Word through signs, miracles, and wonders. Many demon-possessed people were delivered by Jesus’ name. More than 4,000 people were in attendance each day of the “Blessing Aurangabad” Crusade. Gospel Meetings and Medical camps were conducted in remote villages like Thuljapur, Israwadi, Bethel Gavu, Rajapur, Nardurbar, Amen Chowk, Ratnapuri, Navapur and Aurangabad. World Mission 360 is still conducting its Feeding Program in Aurangabad.

PRAISE REPORT

Greetings in the name of the soon coming King, our Lord Jesus Christ! His loving kindness is everlasting (Psalms 138:8). As we celebrate what the Lord is doing in the mission field with thanksgiving, we are obliged to the Lord and thank you for your faithful prayers and support in the past months.

Praise Reports:

As of July 2008, 25 Bible School students have graduated and were sent out into the North Indian Villages to pioneer new churches. These native missionaries will be planting churches, will be helping the communities by doing compassion projects and reaching close to 50 villages. They are fulfilling the vision the Lord gave us in the 2006 of creating 2000 new churches. These men will be working under the leadership of our area leaders. Many of them have come from other backgrounds and have been thrown out of their homes, yet they have tremendous zeal for the Lord. Please pray that the Lord will give them continuous boldness to speak the Word in the unfriendly environment they minister. We are very happy to report that the 30 churches World Mission 360 has helped to plant are growing tremendously. Many souls are getting saved and more than a hundred young people are dedicated to Lord's service and are waiting for sponsors so support them for Bible school training. Three more church buildings are under construction and we are hoping that these will be completed soon. A new group of 20 Bible students enrolled in 2009.

Please Pray:

Please pray for our feeding programs. We need sponsors for this program. Food is very expensive and funds are rapidly depleting. Jesus is restoring their life and opening a new way for them to stand on their feet and be believers in the local churches. Funds are needed to support poor students for their school and college education. Sponsors are needed for vocational and trade training. Several houses need to be built for the poor people who lost their dwellings due to persecution, natural calamities, and those who cannot afford. Medical Camps are the means to help them in their physical needs and we need funding to purchase medicines, air ticket, and meet land transportation expenses. The ministry of compassion is opening the hearts of the people for the Gospel, and many are accepting Jesus as their personal Savior.

Pray for the Christians who are suffering as a result of ongoing conflicts. Pray for an end to the fighting. Even though the church is persecuted, the good Lord is touching and delivering people from their sins and baptisms are happening in large numbers.

Calling all Prayer Warriors:

We, as believers, are the body of Christ (Eph. 5:30). A body needs a system for carrying life-giving oxygen and nutrients to the various organs. Prayer is the lifeblood. It is through prayer that we receive our instruction and blessings from God, and He receives glory. I call upon all our prayer partners to urgently pray for the ministry needs, missionaries, area leaders, Bible school students, teachers and for our mission trips.

Yours in the ministry of Jesus Christ,
Pastor Samuel Isaac, President
