Pregnancy_Inside By Kathryn Aryal Psalm 139:1-4 exclaimed: “O Lord, You have searched me and known me! You know when I sit and when I rise up… Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether." In the early weeks of my pregnancy, one of our young godmothers from church came and handed me a book entitled, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”. The book was our first unexpected, welcome gift from the Lord. It made me realised God’s love and care, helping me prepare for what’s to come and letting me know He is right there to guide us in our journey.

Young Christians_Inside It’s touching to see young people pouring their hearts out to God. This was what our co-mission partners Kumar and Kathryn Aryal experienced when conducting a youth camp in Balay Indang, Cavite, the Philippines, from March 23-26. 

PEP_Inside Low literacy rates in developing countries have caused millions to be caught in a vicious cycle of poverty. In rural Pakistan, the effects on women are devastating, causing them to struggle against gender discrimination. Take Bahgwani for example. She was uneducated, got married as a teenager, and was trapped in a culture where women had less or no freedom to live out their rights. But thanks to the Primary Education Project (PEP), Bahgwani could now see light at the end of the tunnel.

Rusunawa_Inside It’s amazing to see how God works according to His own time and design. Sometimes, what we have sowed, He would allow us to reap in a different season. Our co-mission partner in Indonesia, RP, can testify to the grace of God in affirming her work among the urban poor. Last month, she received encouraging news from a friend who used to be our partner in doing community development in Rusunawa Marunda, a low-cost housing area in North Jakarta.

Kumar_Leadership_Inside By Kumar Aryal If we obey God and follow His call, He is faithful to fulfil His plans and purposes in and through our lives beyond our imagination!
