Dear Saints,



Greetings in the sweetest Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are very much grateful for your prayers and support. The month of November was a great blessing for us in the mission fields. The Lord has opened new doors for mission work.



As I had mentioned in my previous mail. God gave me the grace to go to Sri Lanka for the first time on the 12th of Nov. 2012. Bro's Shaji Kurian and Danny Mathew joined me in Colombo from Dubai. We had a blessed one week of ministry in Colombo, Peredinya, Kandy, Kurnegla and other places. Pastor Nimal Kumaratissa was our host. It was a privilege for us to stay with Pastor Nimal and his family and to go around and minister to the churches and the saints. The ministry started straight after we landed at Colombo.



We got the opening for Sri Lanka through Bro. Stanley who was working in Dubai, but he became sick, while he was admitted in the hospital there, Bro. Shaji and Danny met him, while they were doing the hospital ministry there. After some time bro. Stanley came back to Sri Lanka and he requested us to come to his nation and that is how we were able to go there. Do continue to pray for Bro. Stanley as he is not keeping well. Do continue to pray for the nation of Sri Lanka, there are many who are hungry for the word of God. God be willing we plan to go in July 2013. Need your prayers. It was really encouraging to see our brothers from Dubai, going to other nations seeking the lost. Do continue to uphold them in your prayers as they minister to the sick in Dubai. Do continue to pray for Past Nimal, his wife and daughter as they minister in that nation.



While I was in Sri Lanka, we got the news from Libungan, Noth Cotabato, The Philippines that our beloved Pastor Tony Bernalde has been called home for eternal rest. He was not keeping well for a long time. He was our senior pastor in South Philippines, under whose care many pastors were ministering in the tough mission fields. Please continue to uphold his family and the ministry in your prayers. Humanly speaking we will miss him, but thank God for the hope we have, he has finished his race and gone home. We are sure, that the Lord who has led us thus far will lead us on. We were scheduled to go to the Philippines and China this Nov. but because of a busy schedule after the passing away of Pastor Samuel, we could not go this time. God be willing we hope to go in the coming year. Do continue to uphold the ministry in China also in your prayers. Saints have been requesting us to come, waiting for God's time.



God be willing in a few hours I will be leaving for Pastors Bible classes in North India. the schedule is as follows-



Nov. 29 - Dec. 2 Abohar

Dec. 3 - Dec. 5 Gharyala

Dec. 6 - Dec. 9 Batala

Dec. 11 - Dec. 15 Jammu

Dec. 17 - Dec. 19 Yamuna Nagar

Dec. 20 - Dec. 22 Delhi



Please do pray for all these Bible classes so that the ministers may be strengthened in the word. The saints and the servants of God from the mission fields do convey their regards to you all. Need your prayers to move on and to finish the work that has been entrusted to us.



Hope to keep in touch in the days to come.



May God bless you all.



Yours in His battlefield



Mathew Samuel
