We are continuing to partner with Vijay Meesala and the work he is doing through Reach All Nations. RAN does a 40-day training program and from which Vijay selects certain pastors to participate in our training. This is the second cohort (27 pastors), with a projected graduation of July 2020. Our work in Andhra Pradesh is strategic given the deep need for the gospel as well as strong churches in an ever-changing climate. Vijay is exploring new opportunities for gospel work as well in Vijayawada, which is even more exciting given that it is now the capital city of AP.

I’ve been humbled by the stories they’ve told and the kind of hardships they’ve faced in their lives. There are men here who have lived through persecution and traumatic events that read like a novel. But it’s real life to them. They have counted the cost of their faith in Christ and pressed on. In many ways, teaching these types of men seems backwards. I find myself wanting to sit at their feet, hear their stories, and learn from how they’ve seen the Lord provide throughout their hardships.
