Hello from Southeast Asia. We have been in the city of Bodh Gaya for a few days now. It is the birthplace of Buddhism. This city has been a holy pilgrimage site for Buddhists for almost 2600 years. We have been visiting with a young man who moved here around 2011 to plant a church. In 2016, he discovered that he could plant churches that would, in turn, plant churches. Since then, the Lord has moved, and there are now thousands in this region where there were previously few churches.

Over the last few days, we have been blessed to visit movement leaders, catalytic church planters, and new Christians in this city. Praise God, today, we visited one church and participated in a baptism service that saw 35 people baptized. Pastor Jason, Heather, Lisa, Mike, and I are all doing well. We are thankful to have received the ones from FBC Boerne. We miss you and are praying for you. We are also grateful for your prayers, which have supported us during our time here.

Good morning, FBC family. We are on day 6 of our trip, and praise God, we are all doing well. It has been a whirlwind of experiences here in this amazing SE country. We have been blessed to work with church planters, pastors, childcare workers, women’s ministry leaders, and many more. Yesterday was hard as we visited the banks of the Ganges, a sacred and holy river in this country. Along its banks, fires burn constantly, cremating the bodies of the recently passed away.

While this country’s religious systems are intense and oppressive, we have also been encouraged to hear about and witness the astounding growth of the body of Christ in this place. We have met with multiple leaders who, over the last 10-15 years, have seen an explosion of new believers in this area of the world. Conservative estimates report well over 500,000 new baptisms in this state alone. We are so thankful for your continued prayers.

We are looking forward to fellowshipping in person with you all on Sunday, October 5th.

Greetings from SE Asia, FBC. We will conclude our trip within the next 36 hours. We have visited several states in this amazing country. Today, we are back in the capital and marveling at all we have seen and experienced. Our last primary focus was in the state of Punjab near the Pakistan border. We met many believers who are from a Sikh background. We have had a crash course in Sikhism and learned that God is powerfully working among them.

We visited the Golden Temple, which is one of the most visually stunning places of worship I have ever seen. We can see that God has been revealing himself to these people for ages, but only recently have they begun to acknowledge Jesus as the one true God. Pray! Pray! Pray that God will turn the hearts of these people to His Gospel!

Once again, we are grateful for your ongoing prayer support for our team. We are excited to return home to you all. As the Lord wills, we look forward to seeing you this coming Sunday. Please pray for our trip home. We face a 28-hour journey with 21 hours being in the air. Thank you, and God bless you all!
