Training and Encouraging

Gary Finkbeiner and Peter Negron, both on the U.S. leadership team for Reach the Nations, are ministering in Pakistan in these days, and they ask for your prayers.

Gary is teaching a class at Covenant Leadership Training Institute (CLTI) in Karachi, and he reports that the students, who are young men called to Christian ministry, are working hard at their studies and learning much. Shakeel, an RTN leader from Hyderabad, is also teaching at CLTI.

Peter has been ministering in churches in and around Islamabad. This picture shows him at Prayer Tower Church. Translating for him is Pastor Babar and they, obviously, enjoy ministering together.

Peter shared from God's Word from Monday through Thursday last week at Prayer Tower Church.

He had opportunities throughout the week to pray with many people who had specific needs.

He also visited literacy classes and in the picture above is shown with some of the students and with Manzoor Masih, as well as Pastor Babar and his wife, Zarish, who is a literacy teacher and leader of RTN's literacy program in Islamabad.

Peter says, "On Friday night I spoke at Christ Church Rawalpindi with Associate Vicar Rev. Rashid Manzoor at a unity meeting with Anglican, Presbyterian, Catholic, and Pentecostal bishops, priests, and pastors. God is moving in a great way among these believers."(slightly edited)

There are many who need encouragement, or a deeper understanding of God's Word, or training to be able to teach others. Pray for Gary and Peter as they do all of that during this time of ministry in Pakistan.

"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,"- Ephesians 4:11-12
