Thank you so much for your continued interest in and support of what Seize the Moment Ministries has been doing in India, Uganda, and Pakistan.
This year has continued to be a busy season of caring for and encouraging pastors, children’s home directors, and the people they faithfully serve in these countries.
In February, I traveled to India and returned in early March. During that time, a Christian brother and close friend joined me in ministry throughout Chennai and Noida. We were able to encourage believers, minister to local churches, and proclaim God’s Word to several Hindu communities.
Because our return was delayed by a week due to the bombing of airport runways in Dubai by Iran, we unexpectedly had additional opportunities to lead Bible studies in several homes. During these gatherings, we heard powerful testimonies from former Hindus who had recently come to faith in Jesus Christ and experienced His saving grace.
Other ministry opportunities Seize the Moment Ministries has helped support this year include:
Assisting with the medical care of a 16-year-old boy from a children’s home in Uganda after their bus was struck broadside by a city bus.
Supporting the director of the Ugandan children’s home after he suffered a stroke and required surgery to remove blood clots from his brain.
Purchasing reusable hygiene pads and undergarments for the girls living in the Ugandan children’s home.
Providing funds for the deposit on a new church location in Noida. The church family is trusting God and has already received faith pledges to help cover the monthly rent.
Supporting Pastor Samuel in Noida with funding for a Vacation Bible School serving approximately 120 children living in tent communities, many of whom come from Hindu families.
Providing funding for Vacation Bible School at the children’s home south of Chennai.
Supporting Pastor Tariq in Sialkot, Pakistan. These funds are used to minister to and support local families affected by the closure of the nearby brick kiln factory due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Lebanon, Israel, and the United States.
All funds received by Seize the Moment Ministries are forwarded through secure online financial services such as Xoom and WorldRemit. One hundred percent of designated ministry funds are sent directly to support these overseas ministries.
Here are a few pictures representing some of the work God has allowed us to be part of this year.
Current ministry needs include:
Providing additional support for Pastor Tariq and his community, as the town has no unemployment insurance and the financial need remains ongoing. We typically send Pastor Tariq $500 at a time to help support families in the area. While distributing supplies, Pastor Tariq also has the opportunity to share that these gifts are provided by fellow believers seeking to demonstrate the love and compassion of God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Several men in Pastor Tariq’s congregation, including his assistant pastor, are in need of financial assistance for urgent medical care. These needs include hernia repair surgery, ongoing Hepatitis C treatment, and care for severe infections that have led to partial paralysis. The estimated need for these medical expenses is approximately $2,000.
The boys from the children’s home in Uganda are in need of new underwear. Each year, STMM typically provides funds so that each boy can receive a couple pairs, alongside the ministry’s support for the girls’ sanitary supplies. The estimated cost for this need is approximately $750.
Thank you again for your prayers,
