I t is dangerous to be a prophet and
speak what the Lord says to the nation
just as it is. More dangerous it is, to pen
down what the prophet says and publish
it. Jeremiah 45 portrays the perils of a
scribe, Baruch, who remained true to
himself and wrote what the prophet
told him to write. Chapter 36 unfolds the events that leading to his plight. King
Jehoiakim ordered for the arrests of both Jeremiah and Baruch and torn the scroll
containing the unpleasant message of God specifically addressed to him and burnt
it. While Baruch’s brother was in a high position in the palace, Baruch was ready to
jeopardize his career advancement, stood with the prophet Jeremiah and suffered
humiliation. He heeded to Jeremiah saying “Should you then seek great things for
yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the
LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.” (Jer45:5) The world
today needs such bold writers, who would stand for the truth and write prophetic
messages boldly to the nations by denouncing the lure of money, fame and
popularity. Such social activists and whistle blowers are very much needed today.
They are rare breed of professionals always at risk. By incarcerating such people
or by killing them no nation in the past has emerged great and lived as a glorious
nation. When hate speeches, arrogance and totalitarian mind set have become the
hall mark of the people of a nation will the peoples of the nation live happily together
and enjoy peace? Let our freedom to express ourselves live long. In the vitiated
atmosphere we are called to remove provocative words of hatred, bitterness and
intolerance from our expressions. May our Lord the Prince of peace, Jesus Christ
grant us the spirit of tolerance and help us build bridges across various communities
divided by ‘narrow domestic walls’ At the same time, we need to remind ourselves
the principle as taught by Jesus who said, “But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’
‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” (Math.5:37). The media
barons living today should encourage such bold writers. Long before Arun Shouri
wrote “Once we had missionaries in the field of journalism but today we have only
mercenaries”. How true it is today where truth and facts are compromised in the
world of social media and millions are misled away from Truth. ‘Baruchs’ are the
need of the hour that would risk their lives and write or speak the message from the
Lord to the nation just as it is.

Mr C Reginald – President
He worked and retired as a Senior HRD Manager in Steel authority of India’s
Steel plant at Salem. His long association with FMPB and contribution is
well known to all of us. He is a seasoned prayer group leader with a deep
passion for missionaries and mission. After retirement he resides at Ambattur,
Chennai with his family.
Mr S James Dharmabalan – Vice- President

had been remarkable. Though they have demitted office their involvement
as one of our prayer group leaders in Delhi and Bangalore will continue for

reconnect with the leaders of various
missions across India during 29th,
30th, 31st of August and September
1st and 2nd during the Conference
held at Dimapur, Nagaland under
the auspices of the India Missions
Association.
During my visit to the North East I was also able to sign a few MoUs with
Nagaland Missions Movement, Mission India Bible College and Academy for
Theology and Mission at Dimapur. Our mobilization staff Rev Hutoi Achumi
facilitated these meetings. I signed
the MoU with the Administrator of
Mission India Bible College Mr.
Toikhu S Zhimat in Dimapur on 30th
August -2018, with the founder Rev.
Dr. Hevukhu Achumi, of the Academy
for Theology and Mission Bible College
at Dimapur on 30th August – 2018
and with Rev. Andrew Semp Director,
Nagaland Missions Movement at
Dimapur on 31st Aug -2018. We would like to see India reached with the
Gospel through such partnerships and wish the resultant synergy transform
and bless the Nation in our grneration.

Our missionaries undertake
cross-cultural ministries pro-
claiming Good News to
unreached place. During their
venture, they face manifold
crisis. One such crisis is about
the studies and future of their children. Missionaries ministering
in far off places do not have facilities to give proper education to
their wards. Hence, the children are forced to stay in hostel and
attached to schools. During summer vacation, such children
spend their time with their parents.
Let us praise God for to sacrificial life of the missionaries
and their children. The children of missionaries are leading
witnessing lives in the educational institutions, fields and in the
society they live. Let us continuously uphold them in our daily
prayers.
FMPB some scholarship to the children who study in unlisted
schools and the entire expenses are born for the children
studying in listed schools. Students studying in colleges receive
Rs. 50000/- per year. This enables the missionaries to carry out
their missionary responsibility with zeal and enthusiasm.
We request you to uphold the missionary children and their
needs to be met with in your daily prayers.

“Brainerd’s Life,” the diary of
David Brainerd was “almost
a second Bible.” Later when
Carey, Ward, and Marshman
signed the historic agreement
that laid down the principles
of their missionary work at
Serampore, they agreed to
“often look at Brainerd in the
woods of America, pouring out
his very soul before God for
the perishing heathen without
whose salvation nothing could
make him happy.”
John Wesley prepared an
abridged version of “Brainerd’s
Life” and recommended it with
the words: “Let every preacher
read carefully over The Life
of David Brainerd. Let us be
followers of him, as he was of
Christ, in absolute self-devotion,
in total deadness to the world, David Brainerd
and in fervent love to God and
man.” In 1769 John Newton, Brainerd’s missionary career
who wrote the song ‘amazing spanned less than five years,

and Compassion for Nation’
248 people assembled at Chota Gagri to meditate on the theme ‘Harvest
is Plentiful, Workers are few’.
The conference started with Praise & Worship on 11th July 2018 evening
and the participants were encouraged with the thought ‘You are precious
in the Sight of the Lord Jesus’ (I Pet. 1:9). Special prayer was offered for
the release of 16 Santhal believers who are behind the bars in Dumka
for sharing the Gospel since 9 July 2018. During the conference, the
participants were challenged with the Testimony of Mr. Markus Malto and
Mrs. Sara Malto (FMPB Missionaries – Gujarat) to lead the participants
to have the Personal Encounter with God. The promotional department
from Kolkota and the
Missionaries ministering
among the Maltos and
Santhals made an impact
by sharing on the topics
‘Essence of Prayer and
its Effectiveness in the mission field’, Biblical
character study on ‘Nehemiah’, ‘Snares for the
servants of God’ (I Jn. 2:16), ‘Challenges in
the Mission Field’. Film show on Jim Elliot and
clippings on the perils of being Christians in our
country motivated the delegates for prayer. New
songs describing the districts of Jharkhand and
its People were also taught.

motivated the participants to form small groups
such as village Headmen & Committee members, Local Evangelists

Holy Communion followed. The participants departed back to the battle
field with a sense of gratitude to God Almighty to move forward and march

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
“Why doesn’t god help me?” I wondered.
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”
I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on gray and bleak
I wondered why god didn’t show me
He said, ‘but you didn’t seek.’
I tried to come into god’s presence;
I used all my keys in the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
“My child, you didn’t knock,’
I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.
