1 Grace Bible Church Pakistan Ministry January 2011 Newsletter Dear prayer partners and soldiers for Christ Jesus, We want to thank you for all your prayers, love, encouragement, and support in many ways. You all have greatly blessed so many individuals and families in Pakistan. Thank you for lifting us up before His Majesties throne. The battle cry this month shall be, Keep the Unity! Eph 4:1-3 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. We keep on speaking highly of the One who sends us, Jesus, and countless people came to believe in Him these past few months. Day by day, we also, wake up and continue to believe in Jesus, seeking Him through scripture, and giving witness of the revealing almighty power of His Spirit in our daily walk.

2 Eph 4:11-13 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Thank you Father, for answered prayer regarding men in our ministry who are serious disciples of Christ willing to lay down their lives for Him, as we are confident that the Spirit through our ministry revealed Tahir who we believe will be a great addition to our ministry. Tahir is very zealous for bible study and service. He works a full job and comes every night to study under Faisal with the men s bible study. We gave him the opportunity to teach village #42 under Faisal s instruction.

3 Faisal and his team were invited to a drug & alcohol rehabilitation center to speak to the men about the hope in Jesus and the love of Christ. Faisal gave witness of his father having a life filled with addiction to heroin and alcohol and how God does answer prayer. Daily children bible classes

4 Men bible meeting every evening Jesus praying and talking about His disciples: Joh 17:19-23 "For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
