Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords,
My last post to this blog was December 3rd, 2020 shortly after our family moved to the Rome, GA area! And here I am posting once again five years later. I doubt there will be any who have followed this blog site as it has been so inactive for so long. But we have not and neither has Dayspring!
I recently spoke with Adam via a video conference where he showed me the very poor condition of their church building. From his report they will not be able to meet within it any longer as it is unsafe. The children's living area is safe, but they could very much use new bathroom facilities. Adam's dream is to see a church building built large enough to hold 1,000 souls. May the Lord grant him the desire of his heart. He reports that many still come to hear the good new of Jesus Christ and many are turning to the Lord. It is always a joy to hear of the saving work of Jesus Christ among the nations.
If you are seeing and reading on this blog for the first time, Dayspring Children's Home is a school in south India housing, educating, and caring for many orphans and widows. Adam also pastors the church there where both the children and neighbors come for worship and where many unbelieving Hindus come to hear the gospel of our Lord. Adam has also helped many pastors from remote areas in all their persecutions and in their biblical training.
It has been my joy to come alongside as much as possible over the last 10+ years to support this work. Most recently that support has been focused on deep theological training of 28 village pastors through Equipping Leaders International. These men are undergoing a rigorous training program equivalent to a seminary education in theological studies. They have around 6 more courses until completion where they will have earned their certificate of completion. While I have not found a way in the Lord's will to visit them yet, God willing I am planning to attend their graduation ceremony in India. If the Lord is willing I will also spend time visiting both these pastors in their villages as well as spending time with the beautiful children of Dayspring.
While I am still working full-time and returning to seminary work in January, by God's grace I will seek to keep this blog updated to begin to make this work of God better known. There is nothing too big or difficult for our Lord Jesus. I would like to see that church building built at Dayspring and those 28 newly trained pastors able to come together regularly to meet and encourage one another in such a place. If this is in the will of God it will most certainly will happen. Amen.
Your brother and servant in Jesus,
Geoff
