Fishers of Men

Dear Friends in Christ,

I am Pastor John, a full-time pastor and a husband of one wife for 26 years with 3 children. I am director of Shepherd’s Table Foundation and the Crossing Cultures International (CCI) Area Coordinator for North India.

My favorite verse is “And they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them.” (Luke 5:7). We are fishers of men. We are reaching the lost with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many, often unreached, people are accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. As a result, they face the challenge of persecution, which is a constant threat to us here as believers; even to our very lives. We give them Bible training to strengthen them in the faith and it helps them when they are persecuted.

We have the greatest privilege to tell others about the love of God and then help them cross the line into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We have church services 3-4 days a week. We not only wish to reach out to the unconverted but strengthen the Christians and make them disciples as the Great Commission commands us. If we as Christians take up the responsibility to pray for and support one another, it will be fulfilled.

In Christ’s love,

Pastor John

North India Territory

Events

I conduct outreach events. These meetings are held in various villages and there is always an opportunity for the lost to respond in faith.

‌

I regularly hold a meeting with qualified teachers and pastors to minister to them and encourage them in the spread of the Gospel.

‌

Classes

There are 13 classes which I oversee. The model is to meet in small groups, as to be discreet due to persecution, but also to increase learning for great discipleship. We are especially productive because we know the culture.

Also, teachers receive an allowance to help with expenses each month. There are many poor students who need assistance with book costs.

I need support to continue God’s work expanding the ministry. Please become a partner with me with your prayers and financial support as I teach God’s Word and make disciples in the power of God.

Testimony

"Greetings! I am glad to let you know that God has given me a great privilege to learn the Word of God in CCI classes here in my northern village. Please pray for me to continue to know the Word of God deeply and after I finish my course, that I can be available to teach others in my area. Thank you for providing sound doctrine and material in my language. May God bless you all!"

Prayer Requests & Praises

· Please pray for 4 new classes; 2 of them in other states in North India. Pray that these students will help make more disciples and equip more leaders to expand the gospel in this area.

· Pray that the Lord will open doors for support for more teachers. Each teacher is responsible for starting and teaching classes. These classes help us multiply the number of equipped pastors and church leaders who will be qualified to start their own classes in their areas of great influence.

· Please pray that poor students can be provided with scholarships in order to buy books. Many of the students in my ministry area barely have enough to make it through the day. If you feel led to help, please click HERE.
