911 Tradegy — K.P. Yohannan

I came here two and a half years ago, anyone here remember? Lots of friends, thank you. My colleague Brian and myself, we left Dallas, but I came this morning and he came yesterday and I sure do miss Pastor Mark.

I think, why are you not here in Hawaii, that's where I heard he went. I mean, everybody is coming to Florida, this is the vacation land. What a blessing to be back here again and some way I wish the circumstances of the country would be a little different.

I wish it was like last time when I came here. I was in India the last few weeks and then from Bombay I went to Zurich to have a board meeting there. From there I went on to Germany, which was the 10th of this month.

I was scheduled to catch a flight to Dallas, Fort Worth, from Frankfurt on the 12th, so it was the 11th morning, so I had a call from someone from Florida and we were talking about a meeting that was taking place for mission agencies and right in the middle of the conversation he said the terrorists attacked.

I hung up the telephone and turned the TV on and turned the CNN. I thought I was watching a movie. How do you have any reference in your head to see something like this and imagine that it's actually just happening?

Grief Over National and Global Tragedies

I have seen and heard worse, a thousand times worse than that. Six thousand people lost their lives approximately from almost every country in the world. Those buildings came down like in no time. I think about Bangladesh, a hundred thousand people got wiped out overnight a few years ago.

Then I thought about the pictures I saw from Rwanda, blood literally flowing on the streets from the hundreds of thousands that have been butchered. I thought about the pictures of God's people, Christians, being murdered brutally in Sudan.

I thought about the 40 ,000 got massacred in Jumbo Kashmir by the fundamental religious fanatics. I thought about the typhoon that hit Orissa. We lost several hundreds of thousands of people. Estimated 150 ,000 people died within a few hours and millions left homeless, lost everything.

But you know some of us that travel through many nations of the world and experience this and walk into the slums of Bombay with 5 million people and 100 ,000 children on the streets of Bombay not knowing who their parents are and in the morning time the government vehicles will come and pick up the dead bodies of the children that died overnight in the slums.

But to tell you the emotional experience I've been through, having seen and heard so much what is happening in many parts of the world, that is part of my very life. But when I saw what happened in New York and in this nation, I literally overcame my emotion and I didn't know that there was such emotion in me for the people of this nation.

I've been here since 1974. My children are born here and you can be an individual born in this American nation and not be an American. You also can be born in some other nation and be here and you really become an American.

And I sat and cried and cried and I found myself kind of so deeply grieving and immediately I called the leaders in different parts of the world and said would you please take time to fast and pray for our nation.

It was very strange after I said our nation, I realized I'm talking about America. And I said to them, please tell our people, there's no nation under the heavens in our time. There are people that love and care and show mercy and concern for humanity like America.

My wife is from Germany. She was born and raised there. Second World War literally brought the country into a heap of dust and to nothing. Hitler was the reason for that. But then Russia got East Germany after you know it, the Berlin Wall, but America would go back to Germany to rebuild, to give life again, to give hope.

And whereas the eastern part of Germany under Russia remained undone, untouched, buildings still destroyed and no hope and no progress. That tells a lot about the people here. But we in this nation never experienced anything like this.

God's Sovereignty and the Church's Hope

Someone said, your headache means to you more than the earthquake in Japan that killed 100 ,000 people. When it happens to us something, it's very close home. But you know, God is sovereign. We are seated in the heavenlies with Christ.

We are his people. We must force ourselves to think in terms not Indian, German, American, Russian or any other country titles but rather we must make ourselves look upon the world from our Lord's perspective.

Only then shall we find courage and strength and hope to go on with life. Because he is sovereign. And that is my encouragement. And I know God is going to use this and is using it to touch the lives of people.

Just the other day I was on the telephone with Pastor Skip Heitzug from Calvary Chapel in Albuquerque. He is in New York with Lloyd Foley and Brian Broderson and Franklin Graham and a whole bunch of people ministering.

And he said to me, Brother KP, we never had more people come into Christ like we had last Sunday during the altar call. He said, we just found out I'm in any space, anywhere in the building. Packed, jam-packed people.

Well, the enemy means evil but God turns all these things for good. May the Lord give us the grace to humble ourselves continually and seek his face and bring ourselves into focus to stay with him. Staying on the course and not to be distracted even with tragedies like this.

I want to read a couple of verses for you. By the way, by God's grace I got back to the States. 12 ,000 people got stuck in Frankfurt Airport having all the flights canceled. And Lufthansa had mercy on me and they put me on a flight.

Thank you. Book of Acts chapter 20 verse 22. This is Paul's farewell talk to the Ephesian elders. He is taking off. Verse 22. And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.

I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit wants me, that prison and hardship are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me. If only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to me.

The task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Then, in the book of Philippians chapter 1, Ephesians Philippians chapter 1, verse 12. Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.

The Cost of Gospel Ministry in North India

You all understand my English? Thank God. I'm glad. Quite a while ago, 1966, the year of 1966, I left my home to North India to serve the Lord. And we knew some parts of North India, it's very hard and difficult.

Opposition, very severe. One young man after finishing his Bible school in Madras, South India, went to Rajasthan. He was there hardly a week before his cover case found him headless. They murdered him.

Along with six, seven others, I was on a three-month tour with this old vehicle filled with gospels, New Testament, Bibles, and all these materials preaching the gospel from village to village. Several times we got beaten up, persecuted.

But there was one place everybody's scared of, called Boondi. The people that live in this community are staunch, hard-hearted, militant Hindus, fanatics. Those who believe killing anyone who comes there with any other faith than their faith, it is a ticket to go to heaven, or to Mars.

So there we were in Boondi. Before you knew it, we were all beaten up without mercy. One brother, from one side of his head, blood was just oozing down from the beating he received. Some of the brothers could not even stand up because they were so beaten up.

And in the end, they unloaded all our literature, Bibles and New Testaments and everything, and took a match and set it on fire. And the leader of the gang said, You dogs, we give you five minutes to leave this place.

If you don't, we will kill you. We knew they meant business. And we escaped. Some years would go by. A 90-year-old young brother, who finished his Bible school, felt the Lord was calling him to go to this particular place to preach.

When he announced the news, the senior leader said, This is not a smart thing you are trying to do. You are too young, skinny, and inexperienced. But he said, I have been praying for a whole year. The Lord burned my heart to go to Boondi.

They said, OK. They prayed and he went on to Boondi and rented one room for about $5 a month. A few days goes by in the middle of the night. While he was sleeping, 6 -7 men come and bust the door open.

And he found himself surrounded by these men. And he told Rajput with a turban on his head, Pull this brother up by his leg. And said, You young fellow, you came here to tell us about your God? We have plenty of Gods and Goddesses.

Tonight we will not kill you. We can tear you apart like we do with the chickens. You get away from here first thing in the morning. He really got scared. You would. I would too. The very next morning he rushed back to the main mission station, reported to our brothers what happened.

They said, Well, we told you that. I mean, we told you. That you are no match for Boondi. Then the senior monk brother said, Son, I want to ask you a question. Did Jesus ask you to go to Boondi? He said, I know he did.

That's my God. But they will kill me for sure, I know. He knew that other young man who came there, that was martyred some years ago. And our brother said, Son, you go back to Boondi. If Jesus asked you to go, you go back to Boondi.

Yes, they may come back to persecute you. You may face some problems. You may face some difficulties. Possibly, you may end up getting killed. But remember, Son, heaven is a much better place than Boondi.

And you wait there for us and we will come later. And he knelt down and they laid their hands on him and prayed for him and he got on the bus. Tears, as he said goodbye, thinking that he would never see them again.

Perseverance Under Persecution

He reached back Boondi. Started talking to people about Jesus. The very people that came to him to kill him and threaten him came back to him and said, Why on earth have you come back? You are now going to make us murderers.

We don't want to kill you, but now you are forcing us to do it. And they made a long speech. This young brother, calm and sober, full of peace, simply responded, The sooner you do your job, it is better for me.

Heaven is a much better place than your Boondi anyway. What you do to a man who want to get killed? They couldn't figure this out. They issued more threats than they left. Yes, he faced some problems.

Some difficulties. But you know, that is not a strange gospel. To our ear, it may be strange sometimes. But Paul, knowing that he was going to be faced with tremendous inconveniences, loss, suffering, persecution, even death.

When they pleaded, Don't do it! He said, I know. But I do not regard my life precious to me. All I want is to finish the task he gave me to do. And then I get a telephone call, middle of the night, from India.

After a while, of that particular incident, Hello! I said, Yeah, this is, Yeah, this is for KP. We want you to come to Boondi. I want to put the phone down. I mean, it's like a nightmare. Middle of the night.

I never been beaten in my entire life and suffered like I suffered in Boondi. He said, No, no, no, no. It is not that we want you to inaugurate the church we just built in Boondi. The story changes. The following month I flew to Delhi, took a train to Kota and then on to Boondi.

My brothers and sisters, Now I was looking at some 120, 130 adults, children, in this brand new church, sitting on the mat, worshipping the Lord. If you want to see faces glow with the grace and light from heaven, if you want to see eyes giving out life, you come to Boondi and see these brand new Christians, who just came out of Hinduism and darkness, through the ministry of this brother.

I taught God's word, went through the whole service. When it was all over, this brother said, See, this is the man who said, he tear me like a chicken. And that is his friend, his wife and kids and all that.

The very people that came to kill him now are his co-workers. So, sitting in prison, poor guys. He is not in 5 star hotel or air-conditioned comfortable home. No. You see, our problem often, we read the Bible to learn and understand, we explain Greek and Hebrew and that tense and this tense and all these things.

We become expert in knowledge like the Pharisees and miss the life itself. Bible is not given up for us to have knowledge and education from it, but we may live by it. So, Paul says, All that happened to me, my brothers, I want you to know, I want you to know, it helped even sitting in prison, with this inconvenience, with this problem, it helped the furtherance of the gospel.

Missionary Training and the Advance of the Gospel

You know, for a gay man, you know him? The book of Jesus Christ? Who don't know him, by the way? Everybody knows him. We have translated that book of Jesus Christ into 16 languages for our Bible schools.

You know, we have some 7 ,500 full-time missionaries or pastors scattered in 70 different Asian countries. Today, we have some 9 ,000 churches. They are just like our chapel. You know, the Tao emblem you have?

I mean, you travel throughout Asia, you will find it a thousand times, everywhere. And today, some 7 ,000 young people studying in our Bible schools between the age of 18 and 25, three years training for them to prepare themselves to go to unreached areas to preach the gospel.

So, we have plenty of materials for them to distribute. But this book, Jesus Christ, is translated not for public distribution necessarily, but for our students to learn what it means to be following Christ.

So, in Bihar, one of our team, Weekend Outreach, went to this village to preach, and they really got it bad. They beat them up. The village chief came with his gang and destroyed everything they had, burned all their Bibles and everything, and beat up these brothers really bad.

Some of them had to be even taken to the hospital for treatment. Some monks went by, and the Holy Spirit burdened their hearts that they should go back to the same village. You know, sometime this announcement was made, half of the brothers said, Are you sure the Holy Ghost spoke or somebody else speaking to you?

This doesn't make sense sometimes. They said, No, no, the Lord is going to do something, then let us go. So, this team, the same people who got beaten up, and suffered, again goes back to the same village, seeking to preach the Gospel.

The Village Chief Encounters the Gospel

As they entered into the village, with fear and trembling, here comes the village chief, called Sarpanch, to greet them. They usually do like this, Namaste Ji, Namaste Ji, and he was smiling and so happy.

And our brothers thought, Oh, this is going to be a dangerous thing. He said, I want you to come to my house, I want to talk to you. That sounded even worse. So they went, and he got them all in the house, gave them tea to drink.

Then he said, You know what? I was really hoping that you would come back. He said, Last time when you people came, I beat you up, destroyed everything you had. But I was so curious to see what you people believe.

Why do you do this? So I kept one book. And in his native language, Hindi, the book Jesus Child. And he said, I read through the whole thing, and I realized the Jesus you talked about is not the kind of Jesus I thought you were preaching.

I want to know more about this Jesus. And the whole family, that day, gave their lives to Christ. The village chief became the first believer in his family. Then more people, more people. Now there is a church established in that village.

There are people worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Again, you see, the reality of when we are willing to let go of our ambitions, our life, our agendas, our programs, we become fearless. God is seeking for those who are willing to abandon their life completely and totally so that he can do a deep work in their life and use them to touch a lost world that do not know him and are on the way to hell forever.

Sacrificial Missionary Work and Spiritual Warfare

Without elaborating this, I'll tell you when I talk about thousands of brothers from the mission field giving their life to Christ just like our Paul mentioned. It is not an exception. It is not once in a while.

It is a normal thing. They go out knowing their problems. But you know what? God does wonders to their life. Before coming back to the United States one time, I met this dear brother in a missionary conference.

He said, my legs are hurting. I said, why, somebody beat you up or something? He said, no, I had to baptize 85 people standing in the river the whole time, one by one. I said, you must thank God for this.

He said, yeah, the problem is tomorrow I have to baptize 135 people more. I said, now you've got problems. And people come into the Lord Jesus Christ as his brothers go out and commit their life with this kind of commitment.

As I was getting ready for this evening meeting, I was going through some of these letters that just came from a mission field. One of the brothers wrote on his mission field he met this Hindu priest called Marimuthu.

And this man was so wicked and vicious that he not only was a Hindu priest, but also he had so much satanic power, a witch doctor that caused so much damage for so many people. But then, he began to get attacked by the evil spirit.

They did everything under the sun to find hope for him. Finally, somebody said, there's a Christian preacher who can pray for you to Jesus. And I was called and I prayed for him, and he was set free. As a result, we have now a church established in that village.

But I tell you something though, while that happens, stories like the one I heard from Ranji, their life, as his dear brother was going about preaching the gospel, they caught him and stripped him naked, took a razor blade, went all over his body, left him on the street, that he would bleed to death.

Somebody found him, took him to the hospital, and the Lord spared his life. But then asked, would you change the mission field and go elsewhere? He would quote the Bible verse that I read for you today, saying that, I do not regard my life dear unto myself.

Jesus calls us, not that we may give something we have, something left over, but he calls us to give all, total, everything. After coming to America, I went through a brief period of my life experience here.

Complacency, Conviction, and a Change of Heart

I wanted to become like an American, the first years of my life. That means, you know, when I first came to America, I thought hot dog was dog meat. Hot rice, hot peach, then hot dog. Nobody could convince me otherwise.

But then later I learned, yes, that was okay. And got used to the normal things, you know, a library to my name, books I will have in it that I may never read, but it looked fantastic. People think I'm very intelligent, although I never read those things.

Sports, I don't understand what people do here in the name of sports, but I had sports magazine when people walked in, although I never read it, it looked nice. And couple of years time, I had 17 neckties and quite nice clothes and I'm glad nobody's wearing any necktie here that says me.

But, you know, I was becoming kind of normal in my thinking. While I was studying in seminary and also passing at church. What more you want? Deep in Bible study and teaching, not doing any bad things out there, so-called full time in the ministry.

But then I found, all the sudden, I can't cry anymore. My eyes were dry. Yeah, I preached about heaven and hell and the world that is needing to hear the gospel, all these amazing things. And the Lord said, one day, son, some 60 ,000 people die every day in your country and plunge into eternity without hearing my name even one time.

What are you doing with your life? Is this what I called you about? Didn't I say, unless you love me more than father, mother, son, daughter, you didn't stop there. Even your own very life, you cannot be my disciple.

And I looked around and looked inside and I realized it was all a game I was playing. And I said, Lord, my heart is so cold, you have to change me. Reminds me of the verse from Keith Green. My eyes are dry, my faith is old, my heart is hard, my prayers are cold, and I know how I ought to be, alive to you and dead to me.

Oh, what can be done with an old heart like mine? Soften it up with oil and wine. The oil is you, your spirit of love. Please wash me anew in the wine of your blood. And I said, Lord, take eternity and stand on my eyes.

God made my heart soft. I can do it. And I would now stop weeping. Not weep over my problems. World Mark came into my home. I looked at India, and China, and Bhutan, and Mongolia, and Eastern Europe, and Nepal, these nations where over two billion people live, having not heard Jesus name, on the way to eternity forever.

And I began to weep. And I said, Lord, I don't know what all this means, but all that I am, every fiber of my being, every drop of my blood, my wife, my kids, oh, everything total, I give over to you.

Whatever you want, that was. Before, the gospel of Asia started today reaching millions of people, touching the lives of people of all these nations. Some 9 ,000 churches worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every single day, some 6 churches planted on the mission field, every single day. It all began by God's grace when I said, I am willing to die and give up no more what I want. But Lord, it's all you. When we train our missionaries, we have an interesting thing that happens when the graduations take place.

Eighty percent of the young people who go through the three-year training, they end up going to some mission field where no one went with the name Jesus. It sounds like a stat rack, going where no one has gone before.

And they kneel. And the elders, we brothers, would go and lay our hands on each one and pray. And this is the kind of things we say. Dear brother, you are called by your Lord and we as his servants lay our hands on you to bless you and send you out in Jesus' name.

It's a one-way ticket that you get when you get to the mission field. Please know, if this is the place the Lord called you to lay down your life for his sake, heaven is a much better place than where you are.

And never forget, someday we will see you also. And be strong. Give your life and all that you have. Never we are able to do this without weeping. Because we know, some of those brothers that he sent out, we will never see them again.

They will lay down their life on the field. Isn't that what Jesus said? A seed falling to the ground and dying. Didn't he say something like that? You agree? You can hold on to your life by the way. Especially at times like this.

When emotionally we are wounded with what happened in our nation. We can be so pathetic. I don't want to spend my money anymore. I don't want to travel anymore. I don't want to get an aeroplane anymore.

I am not recommending you fly. That's not what I am telling you. I don't want to go for shopping anymore. I don't want to do anything. I want to keep it. We don't know what's going to happen. All of a sudden we look inward trying to protect ourselves so much.

I don't care about half of the world going to bed with empty stomach and naked body. I don't care about 2 million people going to hell. My problem is too much. I am hurt. You know why I am saying this to you?

Please believe me. I spoke to my staff. We have some 75 -80 people working Dallas in our mission office. I found myself Listen, I am not white. I don't have blonde hair. I found myself day and night turn the TV on and worrying about what's happening in New York and Pentagon, America and all.

I found myself so involved with emotions and all of a sudden the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, What is happening with your life? Wake up! There's a world going to hell! We can become deeply involved and be self-centered especially in times like this.

But oh, I pray that you will not let that happen to your life. I want to conclude by telling you the greatest influence I had in my life in serving God. I began at the age of 16. Now I am 51 years old.

A Mother's Prayers and Missionary Legacy

The greatest influence I say this to anyone everywhere I go, happened to be my own mother. The tiny little village I was born and raised in the extreme southern part of India. We are six boys and the youngest in our family.

My mother led me to the Lord when I was 8 years old. Her prayer and hope was that one of her sons would become a missionary. One by one they all went for business and farming and all kinds of things. When I finished my high school I came home and told my parents if they allowed me, I'd like to go and become a missionary.

Before I could finish my talk my mother said, Please go! She was kind of very urgent. And I thought she didn't like me. I went off to North India and faced some difficulties and came back two years later skin and bones and worn out and tired.

She began to weep and the following day she told me, Son, I want to tell you something that you don't know anything about. She said, When I saw all your brothers went off to all kinds of things and you were growing up I did not know if God would ever answer my prayer.

I began to fast and pray every Friday, only drinking water, asking God that one of her sons would become a missionary. And that's all I wanted. And when you came and said you want to go and serve God I knew I can stop fasting for that.

God answered my prayer. In 1990 when I was in India on the way to South Korea my mother was taken ill with a heart problem at the age of 84 and that weekend my mother died. I never experienced pain in my entire life.

I've experienced them. And my best friend my prayer partner now no more. After the funeral my brothers, we discussed about our mother and one of my brothers wanted to know he's a businessman how much money did our mother leave in the bank?

Because all her sons every month according to our custom would give her lots of money she could do what she wanted to do with it. But we never saw her spending any penny. We didn't know what she would do with it.

As a matter of fact one time when I came back from America and I saw my mother wearing a blouse torn from here to there hand stitched. I was so furious. I said mother what madness got into your head? Don't you have any feeling for your sons?

You are bringing shame upon our head and cow dung you are putting on our face. Please mother don't do it. We are giving you money to buy a new dress if you want every month. How come you do things like this?

A little fragile woman you know. She never traveled overseas. She never left her state. She never been to university. But she loved Jesus with all her heart. Her favorite verse in the bible Psalm 73 verse 25.

Whom have I in heaven but you and on earth. I desire no one no one beside you. Psalm 73 verse 25. And she looked up at all my anger and said You little fellow don't understand nothing someday you will understand.

How much money did she leave in the bank? The question was answered by one of my brother. He said. We found this little notebook under the pillow of our mother. The bed she slept on and he opened it. He said there is nothing in the bank but I tell you what happened.

Dozens of names of young people studying in bible school in north India in different parts of India among Hindus and Muslims and Buddhists preaching the gospel in the churches against their names she writes the amount she was sending them every month without sending one human being.

And I began to weep not because there was no money in the bank because all of a sudden I realized the meaning of what she said. My little son someday you will understand. Someday and that someday happened to be now and the last will final will desire of my mother.

Listen, when I am dead and gone the only thing I will leave behind is the wedding ring my earrings and the gold chain my husband gave me the day he married me. Please sell these items and give away to preach the gospel among people that never heard my Jesus name.

I want to see them also in heaven just after she came back to the room whispering in my ear my son it's worth it. It's worth it. This life is not forever. This world is not our home. We are not here forever.

It's a very short time. Stay focused stay focused. How do I make an application for this one. I would say ask the lord to take eternity and stamp on your eyes. Ask him to take eternity and stamp on your eyes.

Practical Commitments to the Great Commission

Ask him to help you make your life decisions in the night of eternity. Hundred years from now what does it matter. Secondly I ask that you take at least one day of the week as god give you grace to fast, to pray for those nations and people that are suffering and do not know the lord.

Be one to stand at the gap accept the inconveniences. Accept that hunger accept that pain and sorrow whatever, to choose choose something that means much for the kingdom. Thirdly one of the reasons I come back spend a few months in this country eight, nine, ten times a year I run back and forth to all these nations.

It's time to come before you my brothers and sisters, part of my own family kind of and plead with you. Would you please help us to send out more missionaries to people that never heard Jesus name. And I'm sure many of you will say yes.

There is no compulsion or guilt trip or force to do it but it's an opportunity and a blessing. Would you please pull out this card from your bulletin. There is a bulletin given to you tonight. There is a card something like this.

Just take me another one minute to wrap it up and then Lebron is going to come and tell you about some of the materials we have so you will not ask all the questions out there. It says yes I want help.

I will help native missionaries reach their own people for Jesus. You see if you want as an American come to India or Burma or Bhutan Nepal to be a missionary. You can come as a tourist but you cannot stay there forever.

They will not let you, there is no way they will give you permission. They stopped doing that long ago but we can link our life with those who are over there. Native missionaries who are giving their life so completely all they need is our prayer and our help so they can plant the church and become self-supporting.

Starting now I will prayerfully have a sponsor one or two or whatever native missionaries $30 a month and you need to fill your name and address. And would you look here just for a second. Oh there it is that is me too.

We never had that done before. See there you are looking at missionary folders in my hand you can see the same thing kind of the testimony of the missionary and all the information about him and where they are and all these things and the real photograph, real picture of a real missionary.

You know some years ago when the Lord touched my heart my wife and I began to support four native missionaries on the mission field giving $30 a month to help them preach the gospel. Within the first year they all planted at least one church on the mission field and some of them became self-supporting.

Then we started some other missionaries because they didn't need our help anymore. Every missionary you help will end up planting a church at least in the first year and then keep on doing it as the Lord enables them.

It is not a social welfare program. It is that you just say I want to help you and pray with you they actually become part of your family. If you come to our house you will find by the dining table in Dallas our home the four missionary faces of missionaries everything you can look at and pray for them.

And when you fill this card out and say brother K .P. I can't go to India and Burma or Mongolia or whatever but I can pray for one of those missionaries or two or ten missionaries. And when you fill your name and address and mark how many missionaries you want to support and bring this to the table out there in the open space there from the table there you can get your missionary to take home with you tonight.

If you support one missionary if you support ten you can get ten. There is a medical doctor who supports up to eighty missionaries he got more money than I have. But I ask even if you are supporting a missionary tonight with gospel creation you can take one more after Lord give you the grace.

And if you have a checkbook or money to give along with your card please do that and help us to get the help to these missionaries they are waiting to get to the mission field like Boondi I told about and so many places.
