Hello Every Body!
Greetings! I have been very hectic. We had many programs. On December 16, 2008 I had to preach at Sutokutla Church, a new daughter church, on Luke19:10. There were almost 200 people gathered. In future that will be a strong church.
On December 22, we had a big youth conference; I had to conduct the whole program. Three hundred people were gathered. Brothers and sisters, can you imagine if I will get a regular support I can lay a foundation for a new youth church in Lahore and that will be a first youth church in the history of Pakistan. What an awesome opportunity!
On December 23, we held a program, a Christmas night special, on the school building's roof. It was all about Sunday school and The New Hope School kidsÂ’ talent. They performed dramas and Christian songs. Parents were encouraged to see that their kids are not only improving in secular education but in spiritual education too.
On December 25, I talked on the incarnation of Christ John 1:13, 14 and historical fact of Jesus Birth.
On Jan.1, 2009, I spoke on the importance of new birth and new creature (Jn.3:5 and 2Cor.5:17).

Unfortunately still I do not have a sponsoring church. As you know, the US economy has affected the whole world economy. Especially the 3rd world, which is totally desperate. In Pakistan, everything is getting out of the control of the Government. Industries and business are being destroyed by not having electricity and gasoline. We can only have electricity 5-6 hours out of 24 hours. You could not finish any job in this short amount of time. Public transportations fares are touching the sky. Inflation has affected each and every aspect of life. People are jobless and the crime rate is increasing. I do not know what we (Christians) have to do as a Christian for those who are loosing their jobs in my Church.
The school building is still under construction. Now we have a school building but we do not have electricity or plumbing. We also need to plaster the school building which is needed for the buildings stability. Kids are still sitting on the church building floor. It is seems heartbreaking to see them sitting on floor in this cold weather.
If we have $19,000 we can move these 40 kids to the school building. New Hope Christian Church is doing very well. In this year we have a target to reach out to three hundred families. It will be easy for us if we get good transportation to our facility. People have a thirst and hunger for the word of God but financial problems are stopping us from reaching them.
I do believe God blesses you so much. I know it may be hard for you to support NHCMP now, but in the future you can be very effective in this ministry. Your counseling and advice are always appreciated.
If you want to send support at any time, please contact Stacey. Her phone number is 208-724-9685.
I hope this email find you well and help you to know what NHCMP is doing in Pakistan.
May God bless you and Your Church,
In His Love,
Sam
