Gabriel - Missionary
Greetings from G.R.O. It’s been quite a while since I’ve written an article to you. Life has been a real crush since before our banquet in the spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. It hasn’t let up, but here I am anyway.
I’m here to promote someone else, but let me lay a little groundwork first. All of the national workers that serve with us on blogging websites or on our Internet Radio Stations serve as ‘self-supporting’ missionaries, or as bi-vocational. It can be hard for them to support themselves, so we’ve taken to either giving them a little monthly financial help or we help them periodically with projects that they have. Everyone’s needs are met and the work gets done.
We have one exception, though. We call him Gabriel, because if we let out his real name it might not be safe for him. He lives in a Muslim country. Sometimes Christians, particularly ones active in ministry, have ‘accidents’. So, we’ll call him Gabriel.
Those of you who have been following know that Gabriel has polycystic kidney disease. Last year his father died of this disease. He’s a young man. Married. He is largely on his own with a debilitating and deadly disease.
Gabriel is one of our ‘Website Missionaries’. He is our voice to the Muslims of Bangladesh. However, his kidney disease keeps him from holding a job in order to support himself. He gets sick periodically and while he’s recovering his job is lost. He works with us and does a good job. We give him his small monthly stipend and one of our supporters gives to make sure that he gets his medicine in order to stay alive. We’re thankful for that.
However, that’s not enough to support him and his wife. I want to find him his own support team. Just a handful of people with even a moderate or even small gift could support the two of them in their ministry to Muslims in Bangladesh. Let me share with you a greeting from him.
‘Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I greet you with the love and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is with a humble heart and a testimony of transformation that I come before you today. Having once walked a different path, I have been blessed to find my way to the light of Christ and am now diligently working with Global Radio Outreach to share His message in Bangladesh.
The journey to spread the Gospel is not without its challenges, and it is in this spirit of perseverance and faith that I seek your support. I have been humbled by the call to serve as a kidney patient, and the responsibilities of maintaining my family and medical bills weigh heavily. Hope I can get some help from you. This way, we can all be part of God's work together, providing for my needs and ensuring that the Gospel reaches the hearts of those in need in Bangladesh.
May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and devotion to His work. In His holy name, I thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with me in spreading His love.
In Christ's love and service,
Gabriel’
