The Great Commission, One Family at a Time

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Mark 16:15
 
The above Words of Christ just before His ascension are often referred to as "The Great Commission", the Lord Himself telling His apostles, and ultimately His Church, to go into all the world, preach, and make disciples "of all the nations". Preaching can often take place on a larger scale, but making disciples is often one life, one family at a time. Around June 2021 we met the family below. They had almost nothing, and knew almost nothing about JESUS. They had some knowledge about "God", but very little. They would tell you themselves that they were not truly saved or born again believers. Martha (2nd from the right) and her mother (left) have repented and been baptized, Mary (right) is learning well, and all the family is faithful to attend our weekly services on Sunday evenings. Prem (young man) and his wife Chandrika next to him knew very little about the Lord, but are growing in their knowledge of Christ. Prem also helps us with transportation for our children and families to meetings, as he is an auto rickshaw driver. RHM donations are helping Martha and Mary with their nursing college education. Please pray for this precious family.
