Bangladesh!!!


Wow..I am in the country of Bangladesh!! Is this really happening? God is so good. I got my visa in India for a large sum of money and for a short amount of time but God is good and it is just enough time to get some work done here!! We have a month to do ministry here and it is jam packed. Russel, Sam and I have been here for a week and a half already and we have been nothing but busy.

We first arrived in the city of Khulna where we ran a two day pastor conference for about 25 pastors..teaching them Bible Overview and every ones favorite the Inductive Method through the book of Philemon. It was interesting having my first teaching victims be pastors...it was very stretching but God did it all.

Then we took off for a city called Kaligong where we ran another 2 day pastors conference for another 25 pastors teaching them the same things. This one was really busy because we would teach all day and in between breaks take off with the pastor to visit villiages and then we also had to preach at night but all in all again God did it all and it went really well!!

15 minutes after we finished that seminar we were on a little trip accross the country by bus ferry and taxi..it was a long day but we survived and arrived in the capital city of Bangladesh...Dhaka!! And that is where we are now! We are here for a week doing some mercy ministry for half the day and then the other half of the day we are preparing to teach the books of 1st and 2nd King's in the School of Biblical studies in Dhaka!

Everything is going really well...this is the busiest schedule I have ever been on but God is being so faithful!! Bangladesh is a beautiful country and the people are so hospitibal. Everywhere that we go God is taking care of us! So thank you all so much for your prayers they are truly appreciated...

Some things to keep praying for...
1)That God will bless the little study time that we have
2)For the people that we are ministering to that God will do a good work in them
3)That we will be focused on applying God's word in our own lives
4)That 3 white guys will learn how to bargain with the rickshaw drivers

Again thank you so much for your prayers and support...I will keep updating whenever I can....this is just a small piece of what has been happening so far so if you have any questions please ask me!!! I love you all Love Justin Frase

P.S. Bangali with Justin will start on the next update and next month we will continue with our series of Hindi with Justin..thanks for tuning in!!!
