“It’s important to understand just how rare physical spaces that cultivate serious focus and attentiveness are becoming. . . . In a world where mental overload and constant distraction are accepted as given and even promoted as ‘productive,’ …. an assembly where people are taught early and often that it can be a virtue to not know everything that’s ‘going on’ outside and to lose oneself in something transcendent.”

"Wat sal ons skei van die liefde van Jesus..."

"Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4

"But as it is written, the eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
Neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him". 1 Cor 2:10

Jesus Christ was the most mature person who ever lived, yet he is falling into grief. It is not a sign of immaturity or weakness. The people who are more like Jesus don’t avoid grief. They find themselves pulled into the grief of those who are hurting. There is something very right about that.

Prys die HEER met blye galme,
o my siel, daar 's ryke stof!
'k Sal, solank ek leef, my psalme
vrolik toewy aan sy lof
en Hom, wat sy guns my bied,
altyd groot maak in my lied.

2. Moet op prinse nie vertrou nie,
by wie niemand heil kan vind -
op die mens jou hoop nie bou nie;
want as God hul gees ontbind,
keer hul na die aarde weer
en hul raadslag stort terneer.

3. Salig hy wat in die lewe,
sonder hulp en sonder raad,
as hom alles wil begewe,
vlug tot God, sy toeverlaat;
en ook in die swartste nag
op die HERE alleen bly wag.

4. Dis die HEER wat aarde en hemel,
die getuies van sy mag,
met die see en wat daar wemel,
voortgebring het deur sy krag;
wat, onwrikbaar in sy trou,
altyd sy beloftes hou.

5. Dis die HEER wat aan die arme
in sy druk laat reg geskied,
wat uit liefderyke erbarme
hongeriges spyse bied;
wat gevang'nes vryheid skenk
en hul in hul smart gedenk.

6. Dis die HEER se mededoë
wat die blinde oog verlig;
wie in stof lê neergeboë,
word deur Hom weer opgerig.
Hy bemin die wat opreg
wandel in sy woord en weg.

7. Dis die HEER wat vreemdelinge
met 'n wakende oog aanskou,
weduwees in twisgedinge,
met hul wese, staande hou.
Maar sy arm, hul steun en hoop,
stuit die bose in sy loop.

8. Dis die God der leërmagte,
troue Bondsgod van weleer,
God van wordende geslagte,
tot in ewigheid die HEER.
Sion, sing die God ter eer,
prys sy grootheid, loof die HEER!

Dear Rynse Kerk # 156

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We do pray and believe that you and your loved ones are all safe and healthy.

Thank you so much for linking your life with the missionaries you support. Your commitment to take the name of Jesus to those who have never heard surely makes our Father in heaven smile.

I am thrilled to enclose with this letter your Missionary’s Field Report. This new update will inform you about all the Lord is doing there through your missionaries and their co-workers.

This portrait provides an overview of the region. It’s our hope that you will see this as “your region” to pray and believe for the Lord to move. May the profile and the updates you receive become for you a source for prayer requests.

My friend, thank you for your heart to reach the lost millions with the love and hope offered by Jesus Christ. Your faithful commitment is helping many to hear the Gospel today, some of them for the very first time. God bless you.

His for the people of Asia,

K.P. Yohannan
Founder of Gospel for Asia
