Dear Friends,

Greetings in Jesus Name.

Here we are already in the last part of the year 2011. As always, it has flown by with plenty of activity and of course challenges in the last three months.

What a blessing it has been to visit Washington and Oregon USA in July, and renew friendships and relationships with Pastors and churches. Being summertime in North America I enjoyed the wonderful outdoors, with the beautiful tall trees and Lakes when in Oregon and even went camping and boating with the Hale family near Detroit Lake for a few days.

In August I drove from my base in Seattle to Canada and spent time with Ray and Althea Bloomfield which was an uplifting and precious time. Then I flew to California and visited two churches there; one north of Los Angeles and the other south of there in San Marcos. Both of these churches and their Pastors were a great blessing to me and to the ministry. It was refreshing to be among people so hungry for the Lord and responsive to His call. I was especially impressed with the young people who are giving their all to follow Christ. The prayer line was lengthy and many needs were met I know.

In September I had a special time in Phoenix Arizona together with my two sisters in desert temperatures of up to 100°F - it was good there was a pool! We went to Tommy Barnett's large church in Phoenix and were impressed with their warm friendliness, good music and preaching. Their standard of excellence and heart for the less fortunate has been their secret of greatness.

Back to Seattle and up to Vancouver for another full-on few days before flying back with my sister Mary to Auckland. Now back home I am finding plenty to do in the house and outside and have enjoyed some tui birds finding nectar in the nearby trees. My next time out in NZ will be November in beautiful Taranaki where hearts are warm and missionary vision is clear.

We are planning the next team to visit India and at time of writing there are seven people who have committed to going. As always, our Pastors there are eagerly awaiting our visit. I look forward to dedicating our new church there and once again leading a successful team.

We are living in momentous and turbulent times but I have found the Lord to be just the same and faithful in all ways. His provision is amazing. I am so thankful to Him. The Bible has never been proven more true than it is today.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support of this ministry. The Lord needs the senders as well as the goers. Anything you can do it help us with the many needs is so appreciated. You will be sowing seed in good soil.

Mathew 9:38 “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His Harvest."

Lovingly,  Nancy

 

...And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

In the last 3 months we baptized over 25 new people. My son Juni's team has conducted their 6th Annual Youth Conference named "ADOPTED" with more than 1000 attending and more than 210 youth responded to the call to be adopted into the Lord’s Family. Please pray for them as they lost their property (some hired) in an attack on them. They believe that the Lord will restore. Our nine year old Jeep is wearing out and cost of mileage is high. Please pray for a new one so we can continue this work. We are praying for your visit in 2012.

Dear Friends

I am home in my house after six weeks of very active ministry in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.   It was very hot the last two weeks so I am glad to be back in cooler New Zealand.   The Lord gave us many persons who committed their lives to Christ, 200 in India and 55 in Sri Lanka with many healed, delivered and restored as well.  All the glory goes to the Lord who does marvelous things.  We also had a Global Nulife meeting in Chennai with the five Pastors we support regularly and had a communion service.   All our works are growing well and so are the needs.

The Team of seven persons were great value and it was a joy to see them grow in their ministry giftings.   We traveled by train and in jeeps and the roads are more like tracks in some places.   It was moving to visit the leprosy and blind persons’ villages and we were thankful to be able to give them food and clothes and pray with them.  One team member said how grateful she was for what she had in New Zealand after seeing the pathetic condition of many people in India.

The children in our Children's Homes are doing well and it was a joy to be able to give them extra money for new clothes for each child.  They also received a gift each of toys and candy.   The dancing and singing they performed for us was of very high standard and we were very blessed.  What we are doing on a regular basis is working well and these children are growing up in a Godly environment with good training for their future.   Bruce, a brother on our team is a Dentist and he gave the children toothbrushes and good instruction as to how to take care of their teeth.  Thank you Bruce.

I stayed on after the team left India and visited Columbo Sri Lanka for a week-end with Samuel Paul.   It was well worth the effort and the Church we visited is exploding in numbers and many people are coming to the Lord.  It was such a blessing to witness such hunger for spiritual things.  Preaching with two interpreters is challenging but praise God for such able people to make the message clear and plain.  "How shall they hear without a preacher?" the scripture says.

On the way home while traveling to Singapore from Malaysia, I met a dear elderly couple whom I just knew were involved in missions.  They had been months in S E Asia and on their way back to the States.  Operating entirely by faith and obviously had needs too, they gave me a love offering saying, "we just want to bless you!"    As we walked a long way in the heat to board our low cost airplane Jerry said,  "It takes a good sense of humor and a bad sense of smell to be a good missionary."   Amen to that one!

Of course we encountered many needs.   I have listed just some of them under our special needs.   Anything you can do to help will be sent and these people are so thankful even for very basic needs.   The harvest is ripe in South East Asia but the laborers are so few.   Thank you for your prayers and support.   I am very grateful for your faithfulness and love shown in a practical way.   Job:29:12,13 says, "Because I delivered the poor who cried, the fatherless and him who had none to help him, the blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy."

In Jesus Love

July 2010

Dear Friends

Greetings to you once again.   Several months have passed quickly since I last wrote and its winter in New Zealand now and very cold here in Tokoroa.  But it has been a beautiful fall season and some sunsets simply gorgeous.

It has been a blessing to be able to travel to churches reasonably near to where I live.  I have loved the variety of visiting two Maori churches, an Asian church, a mixed group with quite a number of new immigrants of Pakistanis and just this last Sunday, an African church. 
So our Country is increasingly diverse in its culture as people look for a "safe haven down under."  

Our National anthem is a prayer, "God of Nations, at Thy feet, in the Bonds of love we meet..........men of every creed and race, gathered here before Thy Face, asking Thee to bless this place, God defend New Zealand. "   Our prayers should be for a revival of our Christian roots and that our new immigrants will truly find a safe haven here and to come to know Christ as their Savior and Lord.  Some already are Believers and are coming here to know the freedom to worship that we enjoy.  It is certainly not true of every country on our planet.

News from India is mostly good news from our Pastors there.  The church buildings we have built several years ago all need to be extended because of the growth of the congregations.  This is a challenge for our faith but if its a problem its a good one!

Samuel John's son, Azariah Junior (Juni) is reaching a large number of young people through his "Youth Arise Ministry"  and the Motor Bike we were able to donate for his ministry is being well used in going into remoter villages and even places who have never had a Christian witness. This young man is very worthy of our support.

Already we are seeking to gather those who would like to go on a short term missions trip into India in January and February 2011.  If interested please be in touch with our office.   We need to book early as seats fill up very fast with many flying into South East Asia early in the year.  We find these teams are a blessing and help to our National brothers and sisters and it also gives us opportunity to oversee the expanding ministry of Global Nulife.  The Leader's seminars both encourage and bring fresh teaching to the leadership.

I will be in the United States and Canada from July to September this year and believe the Lord has many Divine appointments for me there.  May I have an interest in your prayers?

I was encouraged this last Sunday when a dear South African lady came up front to offer herself to be a support in prayer for our ministry. How we need the God-given intercessors to pray and birth new souls into the Kingdom of God.  Ezekiel:22:30

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make HIs face to shine upon you, may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.  This is my prayer for you.   Thank you so much for your support in prayers and in giving.  Jesus said, "The poor have the Gospel preached unto them"  and again, "Give to the poor and you will have treasure in Heaven."

With love and blessings,

Nancy

Testimonies
Greetings in the name of Jesus. My name is Ramana. I was suffering from headaches for the last 3 or 4 hours and have visited many different Hospitals and used many different medications and nothing worked at all. But When Sister Nancy asked to stand up for the healing I stood up and I was confessing that in the name of Jesus I am healed.  I saw a bright light coming over me and I was there not knowing what to do and after some time I became normal with some kind of happiness in me that I could not control and then I realized that healing miracle took place in me . I Praise God for that and thank Pastor Samuel John for bringing over Sister Nancy and the Team over there and it is through their prayers I got delivered. Thank You so much and amen.

Dear Friends,
 
I landed in Auckland on 28th February after a very fulfilling and blessed time in India and Malaysia for six weeks. The team of eleven persons the Lord put together was great value and there was unity and good fruit as a result of our visit.

We landed in Hyderabad then traveled by train to Narsapur to visit House of Hope Orphanage, hold a Leaders' seminar, visit villages, dedicate our new church building and lay a foundation stone for our next new church building. The children entertained us with song and dance that was of high standard.

Next we went to Kakinada to minister and stay with Ps Johnny and wife Sujartha to hold another Leaders' Day and visit village churches, do outreaches to children, and enjoy the Faith and Vision children. They are truly delightful.

Traveling again by train on a nineteen hour journey to Bangalore city, where we were mainly with our Slum ministry and our new Leprosy project there. It was a good time and these formerly homeless and rejected persons are now in a good place and have natural and spiritual covering. I was pleasantly surprised.

Then it was on to Chennai by a five hour second class train journey! We were all glad to arrive in Chennai and were met by our faithful Pastor, Samuel Paul. There we had a special time with the 65 children of Global's Children's Home. Then there were the people from the blind people's village, visiting the Wallajabad leprosy village and many village churches in the surrounding area. The roads were very rough after much flooding!

 

Lastly, we had an awesome evening with Nancy's Children's Home as the children acted out the Second Coming of Christ with dancing, angels, clouds, mountains and of course Christ Himself. The day the team left for home we had a Leader's Day and a special lunch together where we celebrated the engagement of Luke and Jane. Indeed, a special day to be remembered!

Then it was to Malaysia where I ministered in three churches and was given such warm hospitality. God's people are a great people. After a week in Auckland with my sister Mary and a visit to Ablaze Christian Church in Warkworth I finally made it home with a thankful heart for all God's special blessings and favour He gave and continues to give to our humble efforts.

With the fall season already here I am looking forward to some good times around the country. I do thank you all for your interest and to those who have faithfully prayed a very big thank you and may He bless you more and more.

Of course we were confronted with many genuine needs. Please pray and if you can help then please know that your sacrifices are very much appreciated. Let us not be weary in well doing and to be part of the great harvest is indeed a privilege. James:5:7 Amp.

May God Bless you and your family,

Lovingly, Nancy

Testimonies from Team visit:
G. Yesupadem tells how he had a great problem with his breathing. It was so bad he even thought of committing suicide as he didn’t have enough money to go to the doctor for help. But one evening the team were praying for the healing of the body and he stood up to receive to receive the prophetic word. Three days later he realized there was a change in his breathing, and his lungs no longer bother him. He says, “I thank Lord Jesus for sending the team and praise God for them. Please pray for me that I would be a good witness in this heathen land for His Glory.”
D. Venkata Rao says, “I was having severe back problem and have visited many doctors over the years, but all in vain. But when prayers were offered that night for healing I stood up and instantly I had relief in my back and waited for 3 weeks to see if comes back, but it did not. Praise God.”
Pastor Johney writes: “Sujatha, my wife was prayed for migraine headache by the team, she said after the prayers she feels better, even though she does much work, there is no pain, she asked to thank the team for the prayers.”

Dear Friends

Our Team of ten persons visited South India for three weeks in January /February 2009. It was a wonderful and fruitful time with an awesome group whom the Lord called for "such a time as this" to extend and bless the Kingdom of God.

We spent 10 days in Andra Pradesh visiting in our Children's Homes, Villages, Leprosy outreaches, Leaders' Days and dedicating three new churches. It was great to renew fellowship with our people and see first-hand the good work we are doing together. The children performed in song and dance and the team were happy to sing action songs and tell them stories and give them a small gift each. There were some new and needy children present who need sponsoring. Any takers ?

From there we went to Madras by train and spent six days with our two Samuels and their works. We visited a Leprosy Village, Blind peoples Village, our two Children's Homes, Leaders' Day and Pastors' Breakfast, Day Schools and Church meetings.

Approximately 200 persons made a decision to follow Christ and Him alone. We are grateful to the Lord for this precious fruit and to be a part of the Harvest that is so ripe now.

After the Team returned I went on an outreach with Pastor Samuel Paul to Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was again fruitful with approximately 200 persons making a commitment to the Lord. During the four day visit there were many meetings including a Leaders' one and an outreach to the Tea Plantations three hours drive from Colombo. Then there was the twenty kilometers up a mountain track with sheer drops on one side and if we met another vehicle we seemed to be balanced on the edge! Anyway, 20 children and adults came to Christ.

After a great time in Malaysia, visiting three churches there I arrived back in NZ 3rd March, very happy and fulfilled with all we had seen and done. Many thanks again for your faithful prayers and giving. We all share the same reward.

Praying God's blessing in a greater way for you and your family in 2009.

Lovingly,

Nancy

October 2008

Dear Friends,

I had a very enjoyable and fruitful time in the USA and Canada. My visit began with attending the Bethel Fellowship Camp Meeting in Washington with international missionaries, Graham and Pamela Truscott, from San Diego, as the speakers. Since then, I had meetings in Washington and Oregon on weekends and some weeknights. In addition, time has been spent working with Don and Judy on the necessary administration of GNLM. I also have been blessed to visit San Diego and attend a conference there, and to visit friends, relatives, and churches in Canada. The Lord has blessed and many lives have been touched by the Holy Spirit. I am grateful to be a part of it all.

The Lord has given this ministry so many wonderful friends, and this has enabled us to extend the ministry overseas. Three new church buildings are going to be completed by the end of this year. They are in Andra Pradesh (southern India). This is the area where there have been cyclones and floods recently, and some of our pastors are affected with their places heavily flooded. Also, Christians are enduring severe persecution, which began in Orrissa and now is spreading to other areas. Please pray for these believers for courage, strength and protection.

Visiting Pastor Amos and Teresa Tsang in Hong Kong on the way back to N Z was a special time of blessing. Its been five years since I visited there and to find such a healthy vibrant church of mainly young people worshiping fervently was encouraging. Their Church outreaches into mainland China and I am pleased we are part of it. They plan to visit New Zealand next year.

Thank you all for your faithful prayers and giving to this ministry. Together we are sowing the seed of the Word of God in many lives and miracles continue to happen. I pray that the rest of this year will be filled with many answers to prayer and that you and your family will know His abundance in your lives.

Always loving you,

Nancy

April 2008

Loving greetings in Jesus Name. It is good to be home again after a blessed time away for seven weeks before I reached my house again. The time spent in India and Malaysia was memorable and wonderful. Many people came to the Lord and many were healed.

I left NZ with a team of seven persons on 23rd January and we traveled and ministered in three southern states of India.

We had prayed for a more youthful team and the Lord gave us three teenagers and two young adults who make things lively! It was great to see them grow in the Lord and our youngest member Rachael, was beautifully filled with the Holy Spirit during out devotional time soon after our arrival in India.

I had the joy of dedicating two new churches and a village Pastor's house. They were happy times and there is always a full house. The dedication of the new black vehicle in Madras for Samuel Paul was also a special time.

We ministered in new villages, five Leader's seminars and one Believer's seminar, six Children's Homes, Day School, Churches, Leprosy & blind people with success and as we gave out the Lord gave back and we were all greatly blessed.

The Indian style welcomes were warm (as well as the temperature!) with the children dancing and singing and putting flowers around our necks. Our children are always excited to see us and receive the gifts we have brought. Our Pastors and workers are also very happy to see us. The chaotic streets are filled with people vehicles, bicycles, motor bikes and animals all trying to get to their destinations. Somehow we arrived but often later than we intended... Indian time is often referred to as IST or “Indian stretchable time!"?

Through a love gift given by former team members we were able to buy recreational equipment for each of our Children's Homes. The happiness this brought to the children was a blessing to observe. In House of Hope the teenage girls were getting up at 4 am in order to practice their throw ball! The cricket sets and other balls and skipping ropes were popular too. It does not take expensive things to make them happy.

After the Team left, I spent another week in India and during that time went out to the Anderman Islands for three days of ministry there. There it was outreach and church meetings and a Pastor's Day Seminar interpreted into Hindi attended by 105 Pastors. The Anderman Islands were formerly a British Penal Colony for political prisoners and today a tourist attraction enjoyed by many for its beauty and space. They have seen a dark time of history and also suffered great loss during the 2004 Tsunami. Today they seem ripe for true Christian revival.

From India I traveled to Malaysia where I enjoyed fellowship and hospitality with long time friends there. Faith Covenant Tabernacle the first Sunday and then the next one in Cornerstone Glory Church. Their commitment to Christ and worshipful services are an inspiration indeed.

Thank you for sharing in this ministry. We covet your prayers and help as you are able. What we are doing is really working. May this year bring new joys and fulfillment into your lives is my prayer.

Always loving you,

Nancy

December 2007

Loving greetings from my home to yours. In an increasingly unthankful society there is all the more reason to thank God for every good and perfect gift we have and will receive. But we do know that the most important gift is His Son Jesus Christ. Let us celebrate Him as the center of this Christmas season.

I returned from North America on the 4th October and since that time I have been ministering in churches and prayer groups sharing the Word and encouraging interest in our missions. By the end of the year I will have been in 10 places including a Marae. I am thankful for these opportunities which the Lord opened. The main theme has been the last great harvest of new believers and it has been wonderful to see young people responding to the call to become laborers in that harvest. The interest in missions is increasing as the Holy Spirit moves on hearts worldwide. I praise God for that and desire to impart the vision to the young as often as I can.

I began regular missions prayer meetings in my home and in other areas too earlier this year and they have been making a difference. I am challenged by the Word says "The earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available - dynamic in its working."
James:5:16b Amp.

Another Team has come together for yet another visit to India in early 2008. We have eight persons, mostly young people. We leave on 16th January 2008 for three weeks. We have been taking these teams since 1992 and it still excites me that we have such an awesome opportunity to obey the great commission. There will be village meetings, Leaders' seminars, children's meetings, Leprosy village visits and of course our orphanages. We will be traveling in three southern states of India sharing the Word as we go. We will be dedicating two new church buildings and a new van. What a privilege and blessing that will be!

News from our friends in India is that new areas are being reached with success and our workers are faithfully preaching in very difficult areas. Our children are doing well and are happy in the Lord. The leprosy village people are happily enjoying their new goats and they are making a difference to their lifestyle.

I do appreciate each one of you and thank you with all my heart for your faithfulness in prayer and in giving. To our regular sponsors I say a big thank you and may God bless you in all you put your hand to.

I wish you a very blessed Christmas season with those you love and if you live alone may His presence fill your heart and home with His joy and peace. Jesus IS the reason for the season.

Shalom,

Nancy

September 2007

Greetings in Jesus Name from Washington.

Things have gone very well in meetings here in the States during the past two weeks and I am grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness and your interest and prayers. The warm American hospitality I have received is such a blessing to me.

In June 2007 the Lord sent Laura and Elisabeth McMurray, a mother and daughter team from the USA, to some of our works in India. Although they found it very hot, as it was summer time, they still enjoyed a fruitful visit. Our brothers were happy to have them share in the work. They were especially impressed with the work among the children. (There are over half a billion children in India. Forty percent are under the age of fourteen and fifty percent are under the age of eighteen.)

Through the means of "Kid's Clubs" and training seminars for children's workers (Johney's ministry) we are reaching thousands of children. If we can reach the children we can change the nation. Together it can be done!

The jeep we purchased and dedicated in February of this year while the ministry team was in India is being used constantly to reach the children. The jeep is called "Shalom Hope"... peace for today and hope for tomorrow. Our ministry team visited a new village in Andra Pradesh and met the very dedicated pastor who was formerly an orphan in Samuel John's father's orphanage. He is now pastoring three congregations and reaching out even further.

Presently progress is being made on two church buildings in Andra Pradesh. One is for a slum church under Samuel John and the other for Johney (at the fisherman's village), where he has been working for many years. We have waited for the right time to build for the Seaside Faith Church, a congregation of at least 100 people. Although opposed many times, we now feel it's right to go ahead with a simple structure, which will be used for church meetings and a school.

We are going ahead with the purchase of a new 13-passenger van for Samuel Paul. This van will be used continually for many outreaches, including three leprosy villages, two schools, the large orphanage, three churches, and leadership training. The Lord continues to send in money and we will make a large deposit for the van soon. Our desire is to have it fully paid for within the next few months. Please pray for this need and give, as you are able. It's just amazing what Pastor Samuel Paul does, even though stricken with polio as a child. God is using him wonderfully.

God bless you. Remember that He has "graven you on the palms of His hands." May you and your family be richly rewarded as you share in our vision. God has promised, in Proverbs 19:17, that "He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the Lord, and that which he has given will He pay him again."

April 2007

Greetings to you all. I am finally at home after two months of extensive travel and full-on activity. I left NZ with a team of six and the seven of us visited three States in India's south. Together we traveled by train, van, jeep, autos, walking and had a lot of fun. Our activities were many and varied with Village, Orphanage, Leaders' meetings giving generously as we went. Praying for the people is simple as it seems everyone wants prayer. The children were delightful in their welcome to us in each place which included dancing and the showering of flower petals. We were treated like VIPs. In all we visited our six Children's Homes. It was such a joy to dedicate three Church Buildings in villages and also one Jeep for outreach purposes. There has been an increase in attendance since they now have a place of worship. Like last year, a highlight was the 2,000 Children's Day Seminar in Kakinada where we fed them all lunch as well as the precious Word of God. It was very moving to share with several Leprosy Villages now known simply as "Friends". We want to give a "hand up" to these dear people by providing a live goat or a pair, thereby assisting them in their daily and special needs. After the team returned I stayed on for two more weeks and had the privilege of teaching in Impact School of Mission at our church in Bangalore. The students were mostly from Andra Pradesh (including our Samuel John's son), and were very zealous to receive more of God's Word. Then it was nine days in Malaysia and a very special time with friends of the ministry there. The only thing I will not miss is the intense heat which was very challenging. Thank you for sharing in this ministry of compassion in the
needy land of India.

Shalom, Nancy
