The General Secretary's Thoughts


Dear Pray ing Par tners and Supporters

In 2012, we looked at the theme, “I have come down to rescue.” This was the decision of a compassionate God in response to the cry and misery of His people.

As a result of God's “coming down,” He directed Moses, “Now come, I will send you back to Egypt” (Acts 7:34). Later, God Himself came down in the “Avatar” of Jesus. The powerful message of Christmas is, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (John 1:14) Now God is saying to us, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.“ (Mark 16:15). We see here the connecting thread of the Gospel of the K ingdom o f God from the beginning to the present time.

Three integral parts of the Gospel are evident here: 1. God's method of the Gospel is to use His children for His purpose 2. He uses His Child Jesus for His purpose and 3. He Uses His creation for His purpose.

God's method of the Gospel is to use His children for His purposes: God's method is always to use human beings. It doesn't mean that God has no other ways and He is dependent on us. On the contrary, it is our privilege to be used by God in His work of salvation. “For we are God's fellow workers.” God wants to use us like He used His servant Moses. He directs us to act now and go for Him to rescue others who are still lost in this world. God

wants us to be His ears, His eyes, His mouth, His hands and His feet. Moses offered many excuses but God insisted that Moses go back to Egypt, to set His people free from their bondage. When God wants to use you, you cannot escape by offering excuses.

God's method of the Gospel is to use His Child Jesus for His purposes: God gave His one and only Son to manifest His love. God sent His Son to die for the salvation of His people. “God had only ONE Son and He made Him a missionary” declared Dr. David Livingstone. The “Go” of the Gospel is to let go of everything for the sake of the salvation of humankind. Jesus emptied Himself to take on the form

of flesh and b l o o d . H e made Himself n o t h i n g ,

taking the very nature of a servant. Jesus humbled Himself and obeyed His Father all the way to the Cross. No Guru or Mahatma came into the world to die for mankind except Jesus. The “avatars” of the scriptures came to rescue people but not to die for the people. Christmas is all about making ourselves nothing to rescue the people from bondages of various kinds.

God's method of Gospel is to use His creation for His purposes: God used His creation like birds, fish, wind, lightening, worms, donkeys etc for His purposes. The IEM theme for 2013 is derived from the passage in Luke chapter 5 where we see Jesus uses Peter's boat and his net and even the fish for His

purposes. The instruction of Jesus to Peter is, “Let down the net into the deep.” According to fisherman Peter, Jesus' instructions seemed stupid. The timing was wrong, the place was wrong and the calculation was wrong. However, Peter realised that the person who issued the instructions was the God of creation. Therefore he responded: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets." (Luke 5:5) The fish obeyed and filled the net. In response, Peter humbled himself and admitted, “Lord I am a sinner.” May the Lord help us to be obedient, humble, and teachable and make us people who will work for Him with urgency.

Pastor John Harper was travelling on the ship Titanic when disaster struck and the ship began to sink. He saw a man drowning in the Atlantic Ocean and repeatedly shouted, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” While the man was rescued, Harper drowned. Years later, in Toronto, Canada, this man testified that he was the last convert of John Harper. Every one of us is expected to get involved in the rescuing work of the Lord.

As you begin 2013, will you resolve that apart from praying and giving to the Church and missionary work, you yourself will be a soul winner for Christ? In obedience to Jesus, will you let your net down in the places where you were disappointed earlier?

Thank you for praying for the National Prayer and Planning meeting. The Lord stirred us up to do more for Him and move up into greater heights in 2013. In November, the convention in Katni

and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh went on well. I praise God for the Area Secretaries and other prayer partners in these places who are working very hard to impart the missionary vision to the Christians here. Please pray for the leadership of Mr. B Joshi here.

IEM Golden Jubilee Year [2014 -15] project: God has blessed us with a piece of land in Nagpur, located in the center of India. We want to develop a Local Leadership Training facility for emerging churches and their leaders from all our mission fields. Therefore, we need to secure this land by building a compound wall. This place will be named as, "Theodore Williams' Centre for Leadership Training." We appeal to our be loved supporters to contribute Rs. 14,00,000 to erect a compound wall. Meanwhile we shall present a project proposal in order to execute this project. We would like to see hundreds of evangelists and church leaders trained and developed in this place.

Pray for our missionaries who have moved into the new mission field in Hojai, Nogaon district, Assam. Pray for the Christmas celebrations in the mission fields which are a wonderful opportunity to share Christ. We are praying for an outpouring of the Spirit of God.

Mercy and I along with our children wish you a blessed Christmas and prosperous soul winning new year 2013.

With loving regards and prayers,

Yours in His joyful ministry,P John Wesley

THE FINAL WORD

God’s love for man - unmeasured, free,

Sent Jesus to earth so man might be,

Released from sin’s clutches, Praise the Lord,

For Jesus our Saviour – the FINAL WORD!

It cost our Saviour His precious blood,

Implicit obedience from the Son of God,

“Not my will but Thine,” – Praise the Lord,

For Jesus our Saviour – the FINAL WORD!

The angelic anthem – “He came to save,”

The rich, the poor, the bonded slave,

“Whosoever believes –Praise the Lord,

For Jesus, our Saviour – the FINAL WORD!

The task unfinished – They ALL should know,

The Glorious Gospel- But who will go?

To tell the World - O Praise the Lord,

For Jesus, our Saviour – the FINAL WORD!

EditorialThe journey through 2012 is almost over! Three hundred and sixty five

days is now history for some, memories for others, heartaches for a few and missed opportunities for many. All said and done, the past cannot be relived, and if we dwell in the past, we will have no future! God-willing, most of us will have the privilege of entering 2013 so the question before us is, “Are we ready to write a brand new script on a brand new slate called a brand new year?”

The aspect of GIVING in Christendom is much preached about but seldom practiced. On the one hand, we have some who have plenty but when it comes to giving are always empty; on the other, there are those who have next to nothing but always give something for the Lord's work! What about those who have not “heard” the call of God to step out as missionaries while others have heard it loud and clear and even responded appropriately? What a striking study of contrasts!

In this issue, we will try to understand the extent of God's love when He sent His Son to die on the Cross. We feature sample stories of how people, moved by the love of God were constrained to give sacrificially for the work of the Lord. If we feature every single story, it would run into volumes!

We'll meet you page to face in February 2013! Till then, use the praise and prayer calendar for December 2012 and January 2013. We covet your constant and consistent support in the New Year as well.

Your Kind Attention PleaseThe IEM Head Office will remain closed for Christmas vacation from December 22, 2012 to January 1, 2013. The office will reopen on Wednesday, January 2, 2013. You can contact us during the vacation, via the email Ids listed on page 1. God bless you!

Most of us begin the New Year with new resolutions and plans. There is

nothing wrong in this if we depend on the Lord and make our resolutions and

plans in submission to Him. Someone said, “I am afraid of making any more

plans because all my plans have failed.” That is what happens when we plan

without God.

He says, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to

prosper you and not harm you, and plans to give you hope and a future”

(Jeremiah 29:11). He is personal and His plan for us is personal. He is good

and so His plans for us are good. You may have fears and anxieties,

uncertainties and perplexities as you begin this New Year. A young woman

who was worried that she was getting on in years and yet not married said, “I

have no one to care for my future and plan for me.” She did not realize that the

Lord plans for her because He cares for her. Life is like a maze and to make

our way through this maze, making the right decisions and choices is not

easy. The assurance of the child of God is that God would guide him in His

plan. 'Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God' (Romans

8:14). because He is God. His ways are often

beyond our understanding. He says, “As the heavens are higher than the

earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your

thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9). There is often mystery in the unfolding of God's plans

for our lives. Though we may not understand all that happens to us, we must

remember that His plan for us is good. He plans to give us “hope and a future.'

Our security for this New Year rests in the assurance that God's plan for us is

good.

We may be bothered by our failures and feel guilty that we have messed

up our lives. Perhaps we have gone contrary to God's will and frustrated His

plan for our lives. Does He still plan for us? Yes, He does!

. The promise in Jeremiah 29:11 was given to His people who had

strayed away from Him. Listen to what He said to David when he was

restored from his failure. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you

should go. I will counsel you and watch over you”(Psalm 32:8). Though we

have failed, His plan for us continues to be good. Just because we have

failed, God does not give us His second best. This is what some people think.

But the Bible does not say so. God does not have second best and third best

plans in His shelf to pull them out and give them to us when we fail. His plan is

the best for us. In the story of the potter described in Jeremiah 18:1-4, when

the pot was marred in His hands, “the potter formed it into another pot,

shaping it as seemed best to him.” It does not say that he made it into a

second rate pot but, “into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Oh

the depth of His mercy and the magnitude of His grace! Peter was called to be

a fisher of men. But after his failure Jesus said that he would be a feeder of the

flock (John 21:15-17). Through the heartache and agony of failure and

restoration he could understand the plight of those who stray away and could

be a tender shepherd. God's grace takes even our failures and weaves them

into the beautiful design of His plan for us provided we repent and turn to Him.

Because it is the plan of our sovereign Lord it is an . In

God's economy no one is a victim and no sorrow or

disappointment or failure is wasted. He says, “My purpose

will stand, and I will do all that I please” (Isaiah 46:10). Out

of the ashes of his afflictions Job arose triumphantly and

declared, “I know that you can do all things; no plan of

yours can be thwarted” (Job 42:2). What an assurance to

begin a new year!

Our Founder and First General Secretary, the late

Rev. Dr. Theodore Williams encourages us to focus

on the future with God. This article was first published in the January

1989 issue of IEM Outreach.

unfailing plan

Kunjilal, the son of Lalba, one of the first believers from Mangiya village in

Korku field forsook the Lord Jesus in whom his father believed. He worked as a

local tourist guide, taking people to religious places. He also brewed liquor, and

was a patron of the religious celebration committee. But the Lord did not forsake

him. In due course of time our missionaries Bijoy and Jaisy were placed in

Mangya village. They made several visits to his house and spent a lot of time with

him. Kunjilal faced a lot of problems and he had no peace in spite of doing all the

necessary rituals, he was thoroughly confused. This was when His daughter was

harassed by an evil spirit, Our missionaries came and prayed for his daughter.

Kunjilals confessed his backsliding to the Lord, and asked for forgiveness, The

Lord honored Kunjilal not only by restoring him but also delivering his daughter

from satanic oppression. Kunjilal on his side got rid of all the fetishes and charms,

and other things. He and his wife openly declared that they will only follow the

Lord Jesus. He has relinquished his position as the patron of the religious festival

committee. Now with new exuberance Kunjilal hosted an all night prayer in his

house where there was a lot of singing and rejoicing.

This is a true home coming for Kunjilal, and indeed a new beginning.

Total Transformation: Kunjilal

The Lord did not forsake him

We served the Lord as a family for nearly 25 years among the Koya people and have seen glowing examples of sacrificial giving among the Koya believers. Here are a few stirring stories. Read on…

Bolli Laxmaiah from Uppusakka village is a poor man owning a small piece of land. In 1999, the believers planned an outreach programme and this was made known to the church. Though circumstances prevented Laxmaiah from getting involved, he was determined to do something. So he harvested his Bobber(cereal) crop, sold it and gave the money(Rs 500/-) for the outreach programme even though he needed proper footwear!

Today, we have many believers in the village where the outreach programme was conducted. Bolli Laxmaiah's sacrificially contribution was not in vain.

Erupa Muthammaa is a poor old widow from Kothur-Kurapally village. She lived alone in a small hut. Every year, she sacrificially contributed towards the expenses of the annual Koya field convention. She did this for many years until her death. - Rev C. Jebakumar

Glowing Examples of Giving… Koya

Something from Nothing

Although the Garasia people of Rajasthan are very poor, they are known for their generosity. This is what we saw during our visit to this region in 2010.

Garasia believers gather during the last week of every month. At that time, they bring the produce from their fields as an offering to the Lord. The produce is sold back to the believers and the money is given to the church. After the meeting, everyone is served lunch which is fully sponsored by the church.

The Garasia people have only one church building that was built because of the sacrificial giving of the believers themselves! What a shining example. - John Praveen

Garasia

They are known for Generosity

Little GiversMichelle and Minu are two sisters from Chennai. Michelle is in class VII and

Minu is in class III. They attend the same church that our Missionaries Joseph and Omana Sounderaraj attend. Once while Omana was sharing their experiences as missionaries to the church folks, an avid interest grew in the heart of little Minu, she started praying for missionaries. Subsequently the family attended the TN state convention2012 for the first time. The girls attended the sessions with a lot of interest and were drawn towards missionary work when they heard all the reports of the missionaries. When they went back home, they decided to support the cause of missions. So when they received their pocket money from their family the next month, their immediate thought was to give to an IEM missionary they knew!! They are very keen to know, pray and support missionary work. Our hearts are blessed with such warriors around us.

Chikaldara


A government servant and ardent reader of “Padkar” the Gujarati edition of IEM Outreach magazine read an appeal for Christmas gift for IEM missionaries on his way to the market to buy new clothes. So he stopped his vehicle and decided in his heart to sacrifice his own desires and donated the money towards the missionaries' Christmas gift. Eventually he started supporting a tribal child, The Lord blessed him, so the family decided to support a missionary, They remain faithful in their commitment to the Lord in spite of financial constraints.

He said, “Difficulties come and go but instant obedience to God brings rejoicing and abundant blessings from GOD. We may fail but He never fails.”Another 94-year old faithful prayer partner and supporter was a 94 years old aunty. She and her husband played a key role in my spiritual development I Praise God for their life and for their spiritual contributions in my life. For years, she used to pray for the whole day for the missionaries of IEM whose names she remembered distinctly. When one of our missionary families visited her, she welcomed them by name! This surprised our missionaries! She explained that she had seen them in the IEM missionaries' poster and read their prayer points in the “Padkar.”

Before her death, she began praying for one Gujarat State Convention and gave some money to her granddaughter saying, “If I sleep in the LORD, before Shailesh's visit to me, please hand over this amount to him for the State Convention this year.” I was not in town at that time. By the time I visited her home, this aunty had passed away and her granddaughter had over the money to me. I was moved. Truly, “YOU CAN GIVE WITHOUT LOVE, BUT YOU CAN NOT LOVE WITHOUT GIVING.”

Field convention

We praise God for the S.T.B.S. We as a team could plan and conduct it successfully. Our S.T.B.S. started from October 24 – 26, 2012 at LRC Lehra Mohabat. This time we had 11 believers from the different stations of Bathinda field. Every day we started classes, with a devotion followed by the teaching on different subjects. We had a good fellowship lunch every day. In the end of the day we also kept a small test on what they learnt throughout the day. We could see that believers wrote their test very well. We praise God for the students, they were very eager to learn the Word of God and have zeal to serve the Lord. Praise God.

Field convention of Bathinda field was held on October 12-14, 2012 in Mehraj village. The theme of the convention was,"Jesus is the Lord"(Phil.2:11). More than 150 people including children participated. Kindly pray that people who have heard God's Word may grow stronger in the Christian life.

Field Happenings

The House on a HillGiving out of a cheerful heart blesses the heart of both the giver and the

receiver. The joy of such a giving knows no bounds and the ripple effect is felt far and wide. The little house on the hill top in a remote village stands as a witness to such an act of giving.

Two sisters one from Tamilnadu and another from Himachal Pradesh came to work among the Rajput Garasias in Rajasthan in the year 1990. They needed a house to stay with the people in their villages. As they began praying about this need, the Lord answered!

Bablo Bhai, a dear Garasia believer came forward to give the land next to his goat pen for the house to be built! A couple working in UAE provided the amount for construction! The missionaries and a few believers of the local church of Nichlagadh took the task of building the house. Every stone, sand, each row of the sand slab, every beam and cross pole, every tile and all the masonry work of that house was an act of sacrifice and love, so that people could be reached with the Gospel. Within a short span of time, the house took shape and in moved the girls. The cozy little hut became a heaven for them. A few years later, the very couple who had funded the construction of the house from UAE came and lived in that house as missionaries! Even today prayers are raised from within its walls

Reminiscing those days and Thanking the Lord of all those who anticipated in giving their time, treasure, skill and labour for the Lord blesses the heart even today.

(Decembers are always exciting! While the climate cools down drastically in some places, the festivity warms up as people gear up for the “happy” holidays ahead. In the rush and tumble of such a situation, it's also time to remind ourselves of the need to pray for the “soldiers on the forefront,” some serving in unfriendly climatic conditions and trying to uncover the true meaning of “Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her KING!” Will your prayer be, “Lord! Let the Light of the world shine in the dungeons of darkness in India and around the world?”)

A beacon of Light The beautiful church at Seppa, for the Puroik community was dedicated

on September 22, 2012 amidst heavy rainfall. The Seppa Puroik church was dedicated in the presence of many local Nyshi people, believers, pastors from the surrounding churches and well wishers like Doctors and the local Political leaders. As a special guest Mr. Solomon Swamidoss, HoD Finance and Mr Bijoy Jajo SFM NE participated in the dedication. More than 200 believers gathered for the church dedication though it was raining and the approach road was slushy and muddy making the climb difficult. The church was dedicated in the Baptist tradition by Rev. Kingkong Puroik, the lone Puroik pastor of the Puroik Baptist Mission. The most beautiful highlight of the program was when Rev. Kingkong, the Puroik pastor read out the dedication note saying that the church is dedicated for the glory of God and will continue to share the good news to their own community first, then the other people groups of our nation. The local believers honoured every guest by presenting their traditional gifts, handmade shawls, bow and arrow.

The total expense for the construction was Four Lakhs, IEM contributed Rs.50,000/- and the rest the believers raised in cash and kind. The house owner where our missionary stays in seppa is a puroik evangelist serving in a different location, he trekked many a mile to attend this dedication. The programme ended with a grand love feast that the believers had arranged. Pray that this church will be a beacon of light to the Puroik people and many will come to know the Lord.

I Resolve!Making New Year resolutions is a global practice. Most

often people resolve to accomplish things to meet their own desires. How about making resolutions that could impact the far corners of our land and in fact change the lives of people! Here are some suggestions.

A) I Resolve to START an IEM MISSIONARY PRAYER CELL. When you do this, our missionaries are empowered to preach, teach and even start new worship groups!

B) I Resolve to SUPPORT A MISSIONARY COUPLE. When you do this, IEM can send more missionaries to the fields which are white unto harvest.

C) I Resolve to SEND the IEM MAGAZINE to 20 new readers. When you do this, you actually challenge more people to get involved in missionary work.

D) I Resolve to SEEK GOD's WILL regarding my going to the mission field as a missionary.
