NOVEMBER 2009

Dear Partners,

Thank you for your prayers. I am back from Netherlands and UK. Here is a short report.

1. 10th to 21st Oct 2009: I with Rev. Dipendra reached Netherlands on 10th Oct morning, picked up by Mr. Tymen and stayed with Bob and AnneMarie, a loving family. On 11th Picked up by Rev. Krol, I went to Hilversum Free Church where I shared about our works in Nepal, India and Bhutan. I was blessed to have fellowship.

Partnership conference "Capacity Buidling" started from 12th to 16th Oct @ De Glind. Friends from South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Indonesia etc had attended. It was organised by DVN Netherlands.

I had the privilege to speak in Beth Shalom church on 17th Oct and I shared about our works in Reform church Assen Peelo on 18th Oct. People were blessed to hear about how God is moving in Nepal, India and Bhutan.

Had a wonderful time visiting Amsterdam, Rotterdam and some of our old friends like Pieter Kampen. On 21st Oct evening, able to attend a Psalms Concert performed by Sons of Korah, an Australian band with local dutch band.

2. 22nd Oct to 4th Nov 2009: On 22nd Oct, I flew from Schipo0l to Heathrow, London. Janki picked me up and had a wonderful time going around London and Stonner Park with Rubina, Janki, Bindya, Rangeeta and stayed with Rupesh & Anjana. We had a wonderful fellowship together till 25th Oct. Rangeeta was suffering from a cone in her leg. We prayed for her and she was healed.

On 25th evening, I reached Gillingham, Kent and stayed with Brother Sumendra and his family. From there, we went to Liverpoot to meet Sandria and her family, and to Glasgo to meet with Susang, and to Scotland Edinburgh to meet uncle Birendra, from there we went to Wrelington, Yorkshire to meet with Bethsheba didi and here family and returned back to Kent. We had a wonderful time meeting and and having fellowship with all these God's people.

On 31st Oct, we had a blessed house fellowship with Ashford Nepali Fellowship. Dai Rinji Gurung is the leader of this fellowship. Had my interview with BFBS (British Force Broadcasting Service) in Radio.

On 1st Nov, went to attend the Curtenay Free Church in Woking where I spoke in English worship service. It was wonderful to meet Ps. Michael and his church members. After having lunch together, we had wonderful Woking Nepali Fellowship which is memorable in my life. We spent time in praise and worship, the Word of God, Holy communion and sharing. More than 40 people were gathered. I shared the gospel to 3 non Christian girls. Laxmi, a non Christian girl who had attended the church having toothache was completely healed after the service as she reached home.

I strongly feel that God has open a door in UK for Hyssop and He will continue to use us as an instrument of Good News in future.

It is my prayer that may God continue to bless UK Christians and extend His Kingdom. It should be read like this "CHRIST'S KINGDOM" instead of United Kingdom.

Thank you so much once again for your prayers and support.

Rev. Mathias Subba

18TH SEMINAR ON SERVING THE POOR IN NAGARKATTA

This seminar on the role of youth and the church in serving the poor was organised by ADP Duars World Vision in Grace Ministries. More than 100 leaders from different churches of Duars had attended. One of the importants topics the Holy Spirit asked me to touch was "Serving the Enemies". Due to the political condition, there is somekind of hatred among Adhivashis and Nepali and the message was; it is time for the church to rise up with the message of forgiveness and love and do the ministry of reconciliation.
