Dear partners in the Gospel,
We wish you a very happy new year 2012. We pray that this year will be a
blessed year for you in life and ministry.
Just yesterday, when we met for a retreat, the Lord began to pour out
His desires for the nation and IMA. One of the burdens that brought
anguish to us is the need for ENLIGHTENMENT (generally comes from
education). Our burden is to pray for their inner realization of who God
the creator is, what His characteristic is and what He does to reveal
Himself. Let us pray earnestly throughout the year that our educated
community in India will receive the much needed enlightenment which
would cause them to seek the Truth, Righteousness, Justice and
Salvation.
I write to request you to please pray for the following programs of IMA
in 2012. We need your input and your partnership in organizing,
sponsoring, recruiting and teaching in these sessions.
1. We are planning to have a special get together for all those who
have attended IMA AMLT here at the Vision City from 10th to 12th August
2012. This is primarily to praise God for what He has done in the past,
to take stock of how the course has been useful and what improvement we
need to make our course effective.
2. We have planned 15 Mission Focus Seminars called ‘Mission Today’ in
different places, 4 Advance Mission Leadership Courses, 4 Think-Tanks
(Topics: Neglected Majority – Youth, Mobilizing Indian Churches for
Mission, Using of Available Indian Mass Media in ministry – Media and
Mobilizing workers for the ministry to the Neighbors) and other
nationalized programs.
Please pray always for all the IMA staffs. We are here to serve you.
Please do not hesitate to call on me at any time.
Sincerely,
Reverend Susanta Patra
General Secretary
