We pray this finds you well as you enter the fall. It’s always a strange time of the year for us in that there are no signs of fall anywhere in the Philippines and “Christmas season” started officially on September 1st so Christmas carols are everywhere!  We are actually hanging lights this week because we’re already a couple weeks behind a lot of people 🙂

One of the fun things for us in coming back to Manila has been getting to know the key couple assigned to us to mentor as part of our ISG’s (Iron Sharpening Groups).  In the photo above meet Amiyo and Christina and their young son.

Amiyo grew up in the highest Hindu caste in Bangladesh, but came to Christ on his own as a result of studying Jesus in late high school and college and eventually through the help of a Campus Crusade For Christ Bangladesh staff member.  He shared that to his knowledge he is the first and only follower of Jesus in his village and surrounding area. His wife Christina was in university with him and came to Christ through him as well and they married shortly after.

      Tragically, his parents have not spoken to him since he gave his life to Christ and withdrew all funding for his schooling. Amiyo rode via motorbike to work manual labor jobs from 8pm to 8am every night to pay for his and Christina’s schooling while taking classes during the day. The both finished degrees and ultimately sensed a call into the ministry.  Amiyo has spent time as an evangelist and he and his wife have helped run a ministry for orphans in Bangladesh while pastoring.  They have come to IGSL to deepen their theological education and leadership training to fulfill their vision of seeing Hindus and Muslims in Bangladesh come to know Jesus.

You can pray for them as they culturally adjust to the Philippines which has been a challenge for them and as both continue to make progress with their English.  He has not yet passed his English proficiency exam, but he’s getting closer.  And you can pray for Christine and I as we seek to come alongside them to help prepare them spiritually and as leaders for what God is calling them to do in a very difficult place to minister.  We’re already humbled and amazed by their faith and calling. But people like them are what makes us excited to be here at IGSL.  It’s a privilege you and I to resource and empower people like this who can minister in places we can’t.

          This was during one of our minstry week night’s this week – if you look closely you can see my “longgi” (sp?) which is the skirt like apparel worn in Bangladesh during leisure time that Amiyo gifted me upon meeting me.
