Beytel East: Gateway’s second base in the country. Storage facility for Zacchaeus projects. NUT training facility (School to train interns). Soon to be a fellowship.*
*(To See the Pictures please open the attached file to this letter)
Zacchaeus projects gave 53 coats and a number of school supplies to a poor fellowship:
This week Gateway had the privilege of going to the far eastern borders of this country and giving coats to Iranian brothers and sisters who are refugees. The delivery was timely (right before the winter months) and our King used you all to help these brothers and sisters in need. One girl I spoke to there started school as week ago and yet still had no school supplies. She was talking to one of the leaders there asked if they could help her with this; she did not know however that we just brought in a bag of school supplies! I told her that she could have whatever she needed from what we brought, she was so thankful.
Gateway looks for a 3rd base in a farther Eastern province: We spent two days speaking with those in an area that are interested in starting a fellowship. These already have a facility in place (it looks much like Beytel West!). We delivered over 20 Jesus films to this area and these will be taken into the next country over to be given to those who wish to hear in their own language! This is Gateway’s first endeavor in this new country!! This city in the east we are looking to use as a third base is polluted by Hezbollah and those who hate the truth yet there are many there who need to hear. Please pray for wisdom and timing about this. We plan to visit this place again next month.
Evangelism during this last Zacchaeus trip: One night around midnight I was able to sit down with about five teenagers in an eastern city and share with them why the King came to the world. This all started when they asked me why aren’t you a Muslim. I love this question as it always leads into the Gospel. We talked about sin and the sin that they even committed in front of me, and how one day they will have to give an account to the King. I explained the prophecies in the Old Testament of the Messiah and why He came and they eventually figured out who He was, one boy in particular said, “your talking about Jesus”. I explained that they must confess and repent of their sins and believe in Jesus for the remission of their sins. Pray for these boys.
Also on the trip we had many opportunities to encourage believers in various cities along with share the truth with people along the way. One such stop was at a tomb of a Muslim saint whom many go to pray to so that they may be healed from an illness. I did research evangelism there with some at a nearby shop, and was able to explain why Jesus is the last prophet and savior of the world. Pray for the three there that heard. Also pray for two young men whom I was able to give the Jesus film to and some materials.
Zacchaeus Projects Medical Trip to Ova: This last trip (he just returned yesterday the 16th of Sep.) Dr. Müjdeci was able to share the Gospel with a lady there that accepted the truth and now is the 17th member of the Kingdom in that province! She said she wanted to do all she can to serve the local body there and is excited about her faith. Praise the King for the rapidly growing fellowship out in the East of this country! Pray that more would come into the Kingdom and they would be protected from the evil one. Pray also that the King would raise a leader up from among these.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
