Questions in the Upper Room…

by | Nov 14, 2014

Southeast Asia Field:  Questions in the upper room were the order of the day as a group of pastors and pastoral students gathered for another class in the Course of Study in one of our creative access areas.

A mixture of men, women, teens and middle aged students gathered in a country where even holding the classes is still technically illegal.

The local pastor, whose home hosts the class, reaches out to the children of his community offering free tutoring in math and science and helping them with their home work.

Growth is slow in this country but steady and the new batch of 14 students promises good things for the Gospel in the years to come.

Please continue to pray for those who are working and serving in areas closed to the open expression of the Gospel.
