Christian News from Bhutan, Testimonies and Prayer Requests

I am very happy and very thankful to bring you some news from Bhutan, a country closed to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to most outside influence.  Also I wanted to direct you to a few prayer requests from a pastor in this country.

• Here is a testimony from a seventy-eight year old man who lives in one of the most isolated part of Bhutan.  He has a wife of seventy and has eight children, twenty-two grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.  He was born as Hindu, grew up as a worshiper of dead spirits of ancestors.
  In 2008, the pastor in this area met this Bhutanese man and shared the gospel.  He was astonished to hear about Jesus.  He accepted Christ as his personal Savior and Lord.  Today, he worships the living God along with his entire converted family members.  Despite threats from the local government, the Sunday worship is conducted at his house each Sunday.
  
• Here is another testimony of a local Hindu religious priest.  He had been successful in influencing he entire village to a sect of Hinduism.  The pastor met him in 2009 and shared about Jesus Christ.  He gave up his religion and accepted Christ as his Savior.  He, now serves as a preacher and pastor of a local church.
