On Wednesday, February 17th, I leave for a three week trip to Asia. I'm traveling with two pastors from the USA (Charles Leiter and Tim Conway) and one potential missionary to Indonesia. Below is a brief outline of where we'll be and what will be happening:
Indonesia - meet with Asih Pamitran, teaching time led by two USA pastors, look for potential housing for my family, and visit language school.
Cambodia - meet with Shalom Mission to Cambodia, and teaching led by two USA pastors.
India - meet with church planters in Uttar Pradesh, and with Sundar in Hyderabad.
Please remember all these things in your prayers,
Matt G. |

 As I spoke by interpreter to the Meitei pastors and church planters in Bangladesh, I knew that I was training a special group of conscientious leaders. We met in a small mud chapel beside a devoted pastor's home who had just died unexpectedly. They listened intently as we talked over church issues that are found in the New Testament. These are some of the first believers among the Meitei.
The Meitei are Manipurian speakers (or Meitei-lon, the more recent official term). Most are from the southeastern Himalayan state of Manipur in India, but these leaders came from villages in eastern Bangladesh where about 50,000 of the Meitei live, the beautiful rural tea garden region of that impoverished country. The Meitei consist of only one class, corresponding to India's "untouchables," and are largely farmers.

A team representing HeartCry is leaving for South Asia tomorrow. Pastors Jim Elliff and John Baker will be traveling over with the Huddleston family and me. We're going to fly into Hyderabad, India, where we'll spend several days visiting Sundar R. and other church planters and pastors in Andra Pradesh. On the 10th through the 13th, Jim and John will be teaching throughout the day and Corey Huddleston will be preaching to the congregation in Sundar's church. What a blessing to minister God's word to His people!
