Beautiful Footsteps
According to 2024 statistics, there are 81 hundred million people worldwide. Among them, 34 hundred million have not heard the gospel. In the interest of these lost souls and responding to God’s call, many brothers and sisters have dedicated themselves completely and tirelessly to spreading the gospel. They are dedicated and duty-bound because they firmly believe in God and enjoy working with it. Just as Prophet Isaiah said, “How beautiful…are the feet of those who bring good news….”(Isaiah 52:7). We pray that God’s inspiration will move even more brothers and sisters to become envoys who “spread the gospel and bring good news.” We hope they will be filled with the urgency of saving souls to spread Jesus Christ’s love to every person who has never heard the gospel. How beautiful their feet will be.
Thanksgiving
- The Lord Jesus said, “ Come, and you will see.” (John:1:39) This time, when GOAL’s board of directors and coworkers willingly left their familiar environment and went to where the Lord wanted them to go, they witnessed that, in places where it is very difficult to spread the gospel, many of God’s servants and ambassadors obeyed the Lord and have lived out the lives of Christians. The board of directors and coworkers also witnessed that, when people are willing to throw the fishing net in the deep part of the water, they will be able to bring up an abundant number of fish to glorify the Lord’s name!
- A brother who served rehabilitated lepers for many years and used to supply only spiritual provisions has also led quite a few rehabilitated lepers to embrace Christ. Recently, by relying on God, he has overcome his mental blocks and received great encouragement when he treated the lepers’ affected areas and witnessed their healing.
- We thank God for many of our volunteers. They are all our helping hands, whether in bookkeeping, editing, translating, virtual teaching, media advertising, etc.
Prayer Requests
1. The Ministry of the GOAL
- GOAL’s board of directors’ meeting will be held on November 2nd The meeting will discuss the expansion of the ministry in 2025, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit is greatly needed.
- Pray for the local Burmese conversion ministry; ask God to raise more churches and brothers and sisters to participate, as well as lead GOAL to cooperate with other missionary agencies to spread the gospel to everyone.
2. The Myanmar Ministry
- From the beginning of Myanmar’s civil war on October 27 last year to this day, we have not been able to get in touch with the two Christian middle schools in Kutkai: The Kutkai Holy Light School and The Grace Private School. Please remember the teachers, students, and their families.
- Although the civil war has not ended in Northern Myanmar, where the three New Life Drug Rehab centers are situated, the virtual Bible class is still held on Tuesday evenings every other week (Wednesday morning in Myanmar).
- Principal Cao of the Home of Hope Orphanage in Namsalup in Northern Myanmar took 8 children to Tangyan, Shan State, Myanmar to attend high school. Through the Internet, President Chou encouraged them to study hard and to learn to revere God. Pray that God will look after these children to make sure that they will discipline themselves while studying away from their hometown.
