Judah’s Roar!

Hebrews 11:1 NASB
Now faith is the assurance of
things hoped for, the conviction of
things not seen.
Be encouraged! God is in control of eve-
rything. Though sometimes it might
seem like He is not I assure you He is!

Where I have been.

Dear Supporters and Prayer warriors,

Thanks to you, more than 16 home fellowships will be planted in south Asia today!
When I was in Florida I met Pastor Jim Gallagher. He is the senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Vero Beach. He gave me Hudson Tay-
lor’s autobiography to read and as I read the first chapter I came across this quote which made me think of you, “I am reminded of
how much the cause of missions is indebted to many who are never themselves permitted to see the mission field—many, it may
be, who are unable to give largely of their substance, and who will not be a little surprised in the Great Day to see how much the
work has been advanced by their love, their sympathy, and their prayers.” Together I believe we will reach all those who have
never heard the name of Jesus.

On July 29 , 2010 I started a road trip to raise monthly support to ena- ble me to work with Gospel for Asia, in Dal-
las. I am so thankful that the Lord has brought us together as a team to reach the Lost. It is exciting to see how
God is working through us to enable our brothers and sisters on the field to share the love of Christ with the people of Southern
Asia.

When I was in Chicago IL, I met Brady
MacArthar. Brady is what you would
call a diamond in the rough. He is one
of those people with a crazy testimo-
ny that went from hating to loving
God overnight. I wish I had more pa-
per to share his testimony with you.

chance to visit him and his family. On a Wednesday night I
called he to let him know that I would be near his house and I
wanted to come for a visit. He was excited to have me stay with
him. I was only going to be there Thursday night because Friday
night I had plans to go to dinner with a pastor. After I got off the
phone with Brady, he called his Pastor, Thomas. Brady told him
that his missionary friend from Gospel for Asia was going to be
in town for only a day and that he should set up a meeting for
him. Thomas then called some of the church members and got a
meeting together for me that Thursday night. I was pretty sur-
prised to find out that Brady had gotten a meeting for me.
When we got to the church I ask Pastor Thomas how much time
I had to share. He said something like, “We will see, probably
not more than an hour”. So this is what I was thinking to myself;
 I hope I don’t say anything that would cause this pastor to stop thirty to forty

Sharing Christ at Christmas
How do you explain Christmas to someone who has never celebrated the holiday? Gospel for
Asia-supported missionaries and staff start by sharing the story of Christ. Each year during the
weeks leading up to Christmas, missionaries, Bridge of Hope workers and office staff fan out and
share the Good News about the Savior who was born in a stable. Each group of GFA workers
creates their own program and chooses their own venue for sharing the Christmas story.

Singing and Praying

In one area, staff and missionaries visited a hospital and sang Christmas carols for the patients, Many churches conducted special
doctors and nurses. "When you were singing, I felt heaven coming down and the presence of Christmas programs for the commu-
nity. These dancers were part of one
the Lord covering this place," one of the patients told the missionaries. They also took time to

share the story of Jesus and to pray for the patients. One man, who had been bedridden for 10
years, was brought to tears by the prayers. "Now I have peace and joy in my life. I thought no
one loves me, but now I understand that Jesus loves me," he said.

This same group also sang carols and prayed for the people at a local military base, where they
had sung and handed out Gospel tracts the year before. Many remembered them from their pre-
vious year's visit and warmly welcomed them back. Team members
were blessed to hear about answers to their prayers from the previ-
ous year. They met a baby whom they had prayed for while he was
still in his mother's womb. They had also prayed for the mother
after discovering her husband had been paralyzed in an accident.

God Provides! Matthew 6:24-34

I’m planning to work full time in the GFA office until God calls me elsewhere. At this
point I have made a two year commitment to work full time in the Gospel for Asia’s 75%
international office in Dallas Texas. The Lord had enabled me to raise $1500 in
monthly support, my goal is $2000. That means I still need to raise $500 in monthly
support. For the past year I have worked as a student intern in the warehouse. When I get back to the office
I will have a new roll in the ministry. Lord willing, I will be fully supported and back in the office sometime in
February. If the Lord has put it on your heart to give, visit this website. http://www.gfa.org/ht/juke/

With much Love your Brother in Christ,

P.s. Please let me know how I can be praying for you!
