The Team
The team was made of thirteen peoples. Six of them are my teaching partners who helped in the teaching. Two of them are my brother in law and they helped us by teaching gospel music. The remaining five are our students and they helped in recording and arranging and other activities. It was such a joy to be able to work together in His ministry for the joy and growth of His people and yes for the setting of examples in ministry which will remain and be followed by the next generations. The comedies, singings, fellowships in sports and in the Word and Bible teachings brought by the team to the people was what touched the heart of the peoples and we are humbled by what we witnessed during our stay there. Great is our God in His doings!!!
Reaching Out The Unreached
National Christians Assembly led by Pastor Peter Ngyu is made of many people groups. It is through his preaching that many turned to God and NCA is made up of no less than seven different ethnic people groups covenanted together to take the Gospel of Jesus to other people groups that still remain untouched and unreached in their area, Kaya State. It is such a privilege and joy for me to get a chance to involve in his live and in his ministry knowing that it takes both his leadership and partnerships from like‐minded people to accomplish the tasks God has given him. Through him, we’ve been priviledged to reach many people groups with the Gospel and we look forward to working together with him for the salvation of sinners and edification of the saints for His service and for His glory.
The Teachings
It was a joy to be in this kind of teaching ministry. There were about 400 peoples representing more than 6 different small people groups (Ka Yang, Ka Ngan, Pa Daung, Ke Khoo, Pa Oh, etc..) and three major nationals (Karen, Burmese, Ka Ya). The people were divided into three classes. Personally, I have never really dreamed of reaching out many ethnic peoples groups but since the past year, God has been taking me to different places and to different peoples and I discover now that the expending of ministry takes place when/if He begins to extend our heart, love for Him, passion to reach out others and commitment to His leading.
Future Plan
Pastor Peter has asked that we conduct yet another seminar for ministers that are under his leadership. He requested that my friends and I would help him in the equipping of his teaching partners and we have made a commitment to help him in any way we can…investing what we are and what we have. We have been humbled by the simplicity of his life, manner of living and we are also touched by his passions for and commitment to bring all of his members, (and other six churches that are established under his preaching) into maturity and for the equipping of his friends who help in leadership. So, we will continue to go to his place as the Lord leads and provides necessary funds so that by being together we can invest more of our lives in others while it is called today. We will also try to help him in the starting of three months training that he’s been led to launch.
Personal Note from Philip
A story is told of a lady who was ready to walk into the battlefield. She was scared by her brother saying; “a battlefield is not meant for a lady.” And the lady said, “I fear neither death nor pain but a cage…to stay behind bars until use and old age accept them. And all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.” After she said this to his brother she walked into a battlefield with other brave soldiers. Oh…I wish that we all would soon realize that it takes only few people who are committed, brave, and risky to do the extraordinary works performed by the power of God.
In Esther 4:14, Mordecai said these words to Esther. It reads: “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther replies this in verse 15, “…And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.” We know how the story ended. God delivered the Jews through Esther. May we now think of something that we have in ourselves and let us invest them while we have strength and desire so that we may have joy to share with when our Lord, the King of kings, return. May the Lord bless you richly and thank you for taking your times to read this ministry reports. God bless!!!
