Dear Pastor Allen, Greetings to you in Christ! We are delighted to share the latest updates from The LIFE Network (TLN) India, where our monthly pastors' training and church planting initiatives are experiencing remarkable growth and success, even in the face of significant challenges and persecution in Odisha. Despite the adversity, our dedicated pastors and believers are unwavering in their commitment to spreading the Gospel and establishing thriving faith communities. The resilience and determination demonstrated by these brave individuals inspire us daily, and it is through their efforts that we witness the transformative power of God's work in this region. Our monthly training sessions for pastors in Dengajudi, Mohana, Tandarang and Gudari were more than just educational gatherings; they are lifelines that empower spiritual leaders with the biblical principles and practical skills necessary to shepherd their congregations effectively. These sessions have become a cornerstone for church growth and spiritual maturity, equipping pastors to plant new churches and nurture existing ones.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pastor Allen and the team. The resources provided in Odia have been a tremendous blessing, making a profound impact on the pastors and their congregations. These materials are instrumental in deepening the understanding of biblical teachings, empowering pastors to effectively minister to their communities. This year, we have started a new training location in Kurtamgarh. Each month, 30 pastors and their wives gather to receive training, fostering a supportive environment for learning and growth. The new center is already proving to be a beacon of hope and encouragement for many.
Testimonies from Student Pastors
Here are a couple of testimonies from our student pastors about the blessings of the training program - Pastor Testimony - "The training I receive has been transforming my ministry. I have been learning how to communicate the Gospel more effectively and provide stronger leadership to my congregation. The fellowship with other pastors has also been a source of great encouragement. I am now better equipped to serve and lead my church."
Pastor Testimony - "Attending the training sessions has been a blessing. We have both grown in our understanding of God's Word and how to apply it in our ministry. The practical lessons and spiritual guidance have empowered us to reach out to our community with confidence and love. We also would like to thank to the writer who wrote the materials and providing us in our language. We are immensely grateful for your continued support and prayers, which play a crucial role in sustaining these vital efforts. Your partnership enables us to provide ongoing training, resources, and encouragement to pastors and church planters who are on the front lines of ministry in Odisha. Together, we are witnessing God's miraculous work unfold, transforming lives and communities in profound ways. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. We look forward to sharing more stories of hope and victory as we advance the Kingdom of God in Odisha.
