Missions Update – September 2016

Here are some recent updates from the various missions efforts that Emmaus is supporting. Please read the summaries below, but we encourage you to follow the links to get a more in depth look at what is taking place.

Owen and Nansi Paun

In August, Owen had the opportunity to visit a church that is evangelizing in a unique area of Europe that contains a people group that are muslim converts dating back to the Ottoman Empire. During this visit he was able to take part in an art workshop held at a public school for children to paint and draw things related to biblical events.  Owen gives an interesting history of this area as well as posts many pictures. Please take the time to read his post in more detail: http://mydailytestimony.com/ministry-to-muslims-in-kardzhali/

Heart Cry Missionary Society

Some of you may know that India and Nepal are special places to me, so I was drawn to this post by a Nepali evangelist, Sannu. I was particularly drawn to his title of the post, “Eating Meat and Witch Doctors”. Sannu made one of his regular visits to a Hindu believer to discuss God and Christianity. He was questioned as to why Christians think it’s okay to eat meat. Please take the time to read his full post to find out his response to that question as well as why he wrote about a witch doctor: http://www.heartcrymissionary.com/asia-blog/post/eating-meat-and-witch-doctors–nepal-

Owen and Nansi Paun

 

Owen Paun recently attended a church planting learning community hosted by the Bible League of Bulgaria. In his blog post he says, “Some of the highlights were learning about ways that these communities are facing significant resistance from local churches and pastors, who the typical church planter is and the struggles they face, and also how different countries are reproducing some successes from other fields.” You can read the full blogpost as well as watch a video made by Owen describing his experience: http://mydailytestimony.com/balkan-church-planting-learning-community/

Owen and Nansi Paun

This missionary family recently was moved from their ministry in Russia due to difficult visa laws, relocating them to Sofia, Bulgaria. After spending some time studying the spiritual situation in Sofia, the Pauns recently decided to start a home fellowship weekly to reach out to people who have stepped away from the church. Many of these families in Sofia became Christians directly after the fall of communism, but over time left the church.
