Pastors’ Conference Held March 2009 in India
Central India – March 16-20, 2009 were the dates for indigenous Pastors and their wives to attend IMI’s annual conference to build up and encourage these co-laborers in Christ. It is always a joy to meet together, to sing, to fellowship, yes. However, when the Word of God is opened and shared, the true ministry begins. This is perhaps the greatest joy and privilege we at IMI have with our Indigenous Pastors.
Our Bible College students were very much a part of this conference along with local pastors. I think the best part of training pastors is seeing the next generation engaged and involved in every part of these learning sessions. Their notebooks are out. Their pens are taking notes the entire week. Most receive exams from their professors on what they learned so it is retained.
Grace Bible College, now in its 5th year of existence is already seeing many of the graduates planting churches, preaching and ministering in full time evangelism.
These conferences are vital to the buiding up and encouraging of our current indigenous pastors and helping to bring up the next generation of pastors and evangelists. Thank you for helping to make this possible with your prayres and financial support! You are a part of this process. To God be the Glory!

EGYPT – It’s cold in January near the Nile. It’s a damp cold that goes right down to your bones. Even so, most of the windows were wide open and a steady breeze blew through them in the room that 35 Egyptian women gathered together in. We all layered on extra clothes and carried on - the E
gyptian women in the room were wonderfully warm with smiles and hugs and a blessing to be with.
Kris S. from Wyoming and I were there to speak to the women in this one day conference. What a joy to see their faces as we sang together, prayed together and studied Scripture together. They were hungry for the teaching of the Word of God and also for the fellowship.
One woman in the back of the room, a heavy set woman with a large dark shawl over her head, nodded furiously when I spoke about how the Lord understands how difficult lonliness is. How He has given us Hebrews 13:5 – and He will NEVER leave or forsake us. Another group of about 15 young women gave us a clear picture that many young people are seeking for a relationship in the Lord and that the Church of our Lord is growing in Egypt.
Kris brought a beaded bracelet project which was a huge hit - proving once again that we all enjoy fun times (especially when beads spill on the floor) and that language isn’t a barrier when hearts are united in God’s wonderful love. - Dee A. Cook, Director of “Beautiful International Women’s Ministry,” an IMI Ministry.
