OVERSEAS MINISTRY
New Life Ministry Trust is a Charity registered with the Charities Commission.
One very important aspect of our work is to practically help some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in society.
Also, many invitations come to preach God's Word overseas, and this is something that over the years, has been very fruitful.
GHANA Pastor Geoff Bates from Cheshire, joined Yan for an excellent time of ministry in Accra the capital of Ghana, W. Africa.
They worked well together throughout that period with a busy programme of Leaders Seminars, Revival Meetings, a Crusade, and various Church meetings.
ROMANIA and BULGARIA
Yan visited Cluj in Romania, taking financial aid and teaching among the churches there.
He also had a very productive ministry trip to Sofia, Bulgaria. In both cases, in spite of their material poverty, their spiritual richness and hunger for God's Word was very evident.
INDIA
Ministry began with an excellent and very positive time in Madras, India taking Pastors Seminars and preaching in the local churches. Financial aid once again was also taken out to help with the orphanages and churches.
Pastor Geoff joined Yan on this trip. They had a very challenging but fruitful time as they returned to India to minister together. They were taken by their interpreter not only to speak in Chennai but also throughout a region of around 2,000 miles.
The itinerary was a busy one as they spoke at Leaders Seminars, two weddings, a 25th wedding anniversary, the dedication of two plots of land for a church building project, the dedication of someone’s home and various church meetings. They were delighted also, because of the generosity of the supporters, to be able once again, to take a substantial financial gift with them. They handed this to the Pastor to help the work he is doing among the 60 Churches and 3 Children's Homes he is responsible for.
E-mail from an Indian Pastor
… Thank you very much for your visit to our churches in Madras and other places through S. India. Your presence made a great impact on our people and our people were blessed by your wonderful teaching and preaching. All the messages that you preached is new insight and are practical. Still we received many phone calls even today from the Pastors ... (BSD)
MORE COUNTRIES EXTEND INVITATIONS
In addition to these overseas commitments, further invitations have been received to speak in several other parts of Pakistan, India, Brazil, Nigeria and Kenya.
The need therefore of financial help from those who partner with us is considerable, and very much appreciated. If you feel God is prompting you to invest in this ministry, please see the 'More' Tab dropdown menu, 'Donate' Tab.
