Judah’s Roar!

Matthew 6:19-21 [NIV]

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth
and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for
yourselves treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys
and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure
is, your heart will be also.”

I thank God that he has given me supporters like you who are by
faith supporting me and laying up treasures in heaven. I hope that
you are all blessed and encouraged by this letter. Please write, email
or call me with any prayer requests you have. I am praying for
you!

Soccer Prize Money Builds a Church.
From start to finish, the goal at every
one of Gospel for Asia's 67 Bible col-
leges is to prepare each student to share
the love of Jesus with the most un-
reached. Through six-month and sum-
mer outreach programs, many of these
missionaries-in-training have estab-
lished churches even before they gradu-
ate.
A group of GFA Bible college students
in Myanmar (Burma) recently found
a unique way to combine their deep
passion to share Jesus with something
they enjoy—playing soccer, or
"football" as it is known around the
world.
"We never thought we would be able to
raise money for our mission field
through doing what we Burmese love so
much, and that is playing football,"
expressed a Gospel for Asia Myanmar
leader, speaking for the team he
coached.
His student team first competed
against teams from 13 other Bible col-
leges around the country. When they
won, they were invited to take part in
Judah Kent
another tournament, playing against
eight other teams.
They won that tournament as well.
Next they were given the opportunity to
participate with seven teams in a com-
munity competition—and won again.
"We praise God for allowing us to play
20 games without losing a single
match!" commented the coach excitedly.
The students gave away the prize
money they received in each tourna-
ment to provide for various needs on the
mission field. Some of the money
went to help the labors of GFA–
supported missionaries in Myanmar.
Another tournament's winnings
funded a baptismal tank in an area of
Myanmar where water is scarce.
With the rest of their prize money, the
students blessed a church in Myanmar
with construction materials for their
own building.
"All the players were so happy that they
could have a part in helping construct
this new church building," wrote a field
correspondent.
Judah Kent
For Asian congregations, the existence
of a church building is a special bless-
ing that establishes a community pres-
ence, enhances the exposure and wit-
ness of the local church, and helps shel-
ter congregations from anti-Christian
attack and harsh climate conditions.
Many congregations meet in people's
homes or rented facilities. Young,
growing congregations of the Asian
Church long and pray for a place of
their own. In fact, even in their pov-
erty, new believers will often eagerly
donate whatever land or construction
materials they can for a church build-
ing.
For this congregation in Myanmar
that recently has been blessed with a
facility of its own, the contribution of
the Bible college soccer team is no doubt
a source of much rejoicing. And these
young men, who love the sport but
whose passion is to reach their own peo-
ple with the Gospel, are just as de-
lighted.
"The whole team was so excited for the
opportunity to use their talents for
God's glory and for building His
Church," shared their coach and leader.

We serve the staff here at Gospel for

where they need go.
The Lord has blessed our ministry
with a computer program called Mal-
vern. Malvern is a rate shopping pro-
gram that gives us the best prices by
comparing the rates of different carri-
ers such as UPS and FEDEX.
This has made shipping much more
cost effective and efficient.

sible for entering returns (sent back to

Life in Carrollton:
I live with three guys that are a part of my program: Rueben, Tim
and Steve. We rent out a three bedroom house about a mile from the
GFA office. It’s pretty comfortable and the Lord is really growing
us through this experience. When the weather permits it, I like to
walk or ride my bike to the office. For lunch Betty and Mary Lou
cook some of the best food ever!!! It is really good. People here in the
office are really great and fun to be around. The School of Disciple-
ship does one weekend activity each month. For the month of March
we are doing evangelism. I am looking forward to sharing about
my experiences with you in my next newsletter.
