Hi friends!

    The picture above are two newly commissioned Alumni of IGSL – graduation was this weekend!  Abbas and his wife are from Bangladesh and it was a privilege to get to know them and teach them this past year.

     Abbas grew up Muslim and knew ZERO Christians. When reading the Koran, he said he felt a presence and a leading in his heart during sections of the Koran that focused on “the prophet” Jesus. He had heard there was more on Jesus in the Christian New Testament and he found a copy and began reading the New Testament and on his own through the Spirit’s leading he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.  He still knew ZERO Christians!

He ultimately found a western missionary to whom he shared his decision and he got connected to a one year Bible school where he could get basic training and discipleship and he met Nasima and was married.  Within another year, they both came to IGSl to get equipped to plant churches in Bangladesh. Their heart is for Muslims to come to know Jesus Christ.

Christine led Nasima’s small group for a time this year and Abbas was in my Strategic Planning and Management class.  A few weeks ago I was helping think about strategic planning for his church planting. We were in my office and I asked him how he felt about returning to Bangladesh after being at IGSL for the last 4 years. I’ll never forget his response.

He said confidently, “I know that the Holy Spirit is working already where I am going…..because when I was alone the Holy Spirit was working in me!”  

    YOU are a part of sending out this great couple of faith and many others just like them throughout all of Asia for the Great CommissionMany of their ministries will be full of struggle and challenge, but also full of faith and courage to the glory of God.  Please pray for them and all of the 2014 graduates. They leave IGSL this week to return to their countries and ministries and to what God is calling them to.

   Thank you for praying for us too! We made it back to the U.S. safely and just returned from the Epic Movement National Staff Conference which is every 2 years.  It was a privilege to share with them some of our journey and learnings, but it was a real joy to be ministered to and encouraged by our staff family. It provided a safe place for us to keep working through our missions and cross-cultural adjustments and the deeper things God has invited us into this year. We really needed that and are thankful for how it has prepared us more to return to the Philippines.

For the first time since we started this crazy adventure we are excited to take an entire week off for vacation! We are spending some time with Christine’s parents and are quite thankful for this time of rest.  Please pray that God refreshes us in this time!

                         God Bless!  Brian & Christine
