Karen Burketthttp://christianlinksforyou.wordpress.comThe idea for Find Christian Links began a number of years ago with ChristianConnectionsUnlimited.com. My initial plan was to provide quality Christian links for site visitors. Links to products, services, and ministries. I added devotions, Bible study helps, and the good news of the Gospel. As time went on, God opened my eyes to the possibilities of using the site also to help fulfill Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). And so I began featuring various outreach ministries, hoping that seeing what others are doing would motivate more people to reach out and give them ideas how to get started. The site grew in size—and in the number of visitors from around the world. Find Christian Links Emerges. In 2009 I began exploring the possibility of expanding the site even further and at the same time updating the look. These musings led to the beginnings of Find Christian Links. After months of rebuilding, Christian Connections Unlimited was officially replaced by Find Christian Links in August 2009. Since then the site has take even more new and exciting turns. I believe the Lord wants me to update and expand ways to help people stay informed from a Christian worldview and find ways to make an eternal difference. This is a place where seekers can learn about Jesus. Where believers can connect, share ideas about ministry and methods that have—or haven't—worked for them. My hope is that through these links, seekers will find Jesus through the Word, believers will be encouraged to reach out to others with His love, people involved in ministry will be helped and encouraged—and that together we can make an eternal difference. Please take time to explore the site. Come back often—I will continually add new links. And I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions. Email me anytime (karen@FindChristianLinks.com). I am also founder and owner of ChristianEditingServices.com where I head up a team of Christian book editors and designers. I am a published writer with more than twenty years' experience. I have done a host of Christian editing and writing projects including books, articles, study guides, website features, daily devotions, brochures, radio messages, video scripts, television spots, grants, and more. I have written feature articles on assignment for several trade magazines. Wife, mother, grandmother, writer, editor, Bible teacher, ministry director, retailer, pastoral assistant, motel operator, campaign worker, library assistant . . . these and many more words have described me at times throughout my life. However, the description serving as an umbrella over all that is "follower of Jesus Christ."

Please pray for Living Hope Kid’s Village

Please join me in praying for Living Hope Kid’s Village in Myanmar. You can learn a lot about the ministry by visiting their website. I have been chatting with Lalrindika on LinkedIn. He and his wife devote themselves to this ministry.

Quoting from the website, here is a little information about this ministry:

Living Hope Kid’s Village was born solely by Faith in God on May, 2017. Before it became into existence, my wife and I had prayer many years that we could be the parents of many orphans, children ignored and neglected in Myanmar without discrimination between races, colours and religions. We are also known as an Orphanage, but we never call ourselves an orphanage but a family, because we do not want kids to be discouraged and disappointed knowing they have no parents, but we rather persevere to be their parents showing true love and compassion alike. Therefore, Our dedication and prayer to God is visibly blessed in our lives and activities. Even though, we have some rules and regulation like other orphanages, but our rules and regulations goes further ( see:-prayer ). There are more orphans ignored and neglected and children who seems to have parents but never get true love from their parents around us. So, we keep praying that our God may bring us more kids.

We are Christian organization that work in bringing living hope of God into an empty lives of orphans and children proving good education and skills that change their lives and make them stand on feet. We intend to build better society/community by changing the lives of growing kids into the words of our living God.

Prayer Requests:

1. To increase the number of kids every year.
2. To extend and develop this ministry activities.
3. To care and provide reliable skill and education even after at age of 18.
4. To make them (kids) follower of Jesus.
5. To have compound (5 acres), buildings and vehicles.
6. To have complete facilities needed for educational and other concomitants.
7. To run Theological academy.
8. To brighten kid’s hope for their future livelihood by making their talents happen.
9. To have vehicles, compound nurse and more workers.
10. To get working partner ( sponsor) that our visions and prayers could be done for the glory of God.

Please pray for this ministry in the Philippines

Please join me in praying for Winston Capilitan and his family and ministry in the Philippines.

2019-1-29_1THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST that I have pastor for long years is located at Family Village, Suarez, Iligan City, Philippines. The land is rented and the little church is under renovation by now. We have funds collected every Sunday to spend for the repair and now we have 15k or $300 .We continue giving any amount  every Sunday until now but we still need to  do it continually because it is too small . This [photo on left] is our regular Sunday Service in our local church in Suarez.iligan city.

And this is the Pictures of our church building in Suarez local church:

Pray for these children [see below] to grow in the presence of God and be useful in the ministry as their parents continue in serving God . I see poverty made them reluctant in continuing their desire to serve God. Maybe education could help these children to encourage them. Help us pray they can study until they can graduate. i believe it is one way of helping them in preparing their future while spiritual education in the church is also being one of priority.

Help us pray for these folks to accept Jesus Christ by heart as i can see they are in need of the holy guidance. They are our outreach somewhere in Zamboanga del Norte. Still need education where there children grow without education. Got married children again not went to school .Help us pray for them.

 

Pray for this ministry in Bangladesh

Please join me in praying for Hermon Hira, his family, and his ministry. I met Hermon on LinkedIn and have received many scriptural words of encourage from him. Here is more about his ministry . . . in his own words.

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! My name is Hermon Hira . My father was a pastor, so I was raised in a Christian family. When I was very young, my parents dedicated me for Christ’s work, so I am honored that God has chosen me for His work!

We have been working in Bangladesh since 2006 with couple of ministry. And now we (I and my wife) working with Elohim Church and ministry. We had already witnessed God’s power in so many ways as we are enter so many year of our ministry.

God is at work in Bangladesh, and we are honored to be a small part of what He is doing. The focus of our work is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ among village/Hill tracts area. This includes sharing the Gospel to the people. As you might guess, it is quite challenging to share the Gospel with the people, but God is faithful.

Bangladesh is a Muslim country, so our work is not easy. Most of the people here do not tolerate other religions, but God is using us to bring lost souls to Jesus Christ.

Our Ministry Needs: Our Ministry financial policy involves support raising. We have no fixed salary. However, we must raise our living allowance, house rent, medical allowance, ministry expenses, etc. . .  In Matthew 10:10(b) Jesus said that “a worker is worthy of his support”, so we look to the Lord to provide our support needs. . . . We are convinced that that if God wants us to continue His work, He will provide the necessary resources.

Hermon Hira Elohim Church and ministry.
