Dear Friend,<br />

Thank you for exploring GPPD’s annual<br />

Lord, and He will reward them for wh<strong>at</strong> they<br />

have done.” This verse captures the essence<br />

of our mission and the impact of giving.<br />

It was the summer of 1981. The sun be<strong>at</strong> down and the sounds of birds<br />

and insects filled the languid air around a lone evangelist on a bicycle.<br />

As he did every week, he was traveling 37 miles one way down rural<br />

dirt p<strong>at</strong>hs, busy streets, and muddy lanes <strong>to</strong> a small village. He arrived<br />

<strong>at</strong> a th<strong>at</strong>ched hut <strong>to</strong> disciple three believers. For the next six years, he<br />

would continue weekly visits until a church was established.<br />

Eventually, a dedic<strong>at</strong>ed church building was completed with a capacity<br />

of 50 people. An addition was recently built allowing 150 believers <strong>to</strong><br />

worship <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />

Shamalya* is a new believer who lives in a<br />

nearby village. She was possessed by an<br />

evil spirit until one of our partners prayed<br />

over her. The evil spirit left and she was<br />

healed. She accepted Christ in 2023 and<br />

was baptized in May 2024 <strong>at</strong> the church<br />

th<strong>at</strong> began over 40 years ago! (*Name<br />

changed).<br />

Through the Gre<strong>at</strong> Commission gift package, you are helping train<br />

the next gener<strong>at</strong>ion of ambassadors for Christ who are passion<strong>at</strong>e<br />

about bringing the Gospel <strong>to</strong> villages in need of hope. We may never<br />

know the impact over the next 40 years as young pas<strong>to</strong>rs are trained<br />

up <strong>to</strong> be the leaders of <strong>to</strong>morrow!<br />

Clean W<strong>at</strong>er<br />

“Before this, we didn’t have sufficient w<strong>at</strong>er, especially during the summer<br />

season... Please pray for our ministry also th<strong>at</strong> spiritually and physically we<br />

will grow in the coming days. Thank you very much!” -Eleazar, Children’s<br />

Ministry Direc<strong>to</strong>r of a small church in South Asia (pictured)<br />

The people previously<br />

fetched w<strong>at</strong>er from this<br />

swamp, which is the only<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er source nearby.<br />

Children went <strong>to</strong> this<br />

swamp <strong>to</strong> b<strong>at</strong>he, play, and<br />

then take w<strong>at</strong>er jugs home.<br />

They drank the w<strong>at</strong>er on the<br />

way home and became sick<br />

with typhoid. These wells<br />

are a source of physical<br />

life and spiritual life for<br />

hundreds of people in this<br />

community. Praise God!<br />

she left for Jordan <strong>to</strong> live with rel<strong>at</strong>ives. A couple of years ago, she moved <strong>to</strong><br />

Amman and heard about [our partners’] Church. Lina was so happy th<strong>at</strong> we<br />

prepared a delicious meal and served us chai. She shared with us th<strong>at</strong> when<br />

she comes <strong>to</strong> a distribution, she feels something very different in her heart.<br />

She said th<strong>at</strong> the words the team shared with her brought her so much joy and<br />
