earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.”

reconciliation.”

Illustration“Praise God for the Sacha Inchi project (agricultural missional business project) throughout Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, and [undisclosed country]. We have begun the growth of Sacha Inchi plants in 11 provinces. Progress is being made to register with agricultural departments in every province that we have farmers working. The likelihood of churches becoming self-sustaining is quickly becoming a reality. Because of the Sacha Inchi project Christians are gaining credibility and influence in the local community, thereby enabling them to become community mobilizers instead a persecuted minority. Gospel witness is now penetrating the ruling class. Before gospel witness stayed primarily among the lowest class or outclass. Those in the ruling class are also beginning to participate in the Sacha Inchi project alongside Christians. The gospel now flows into the ruling class from the common Christians and churches.”
Sacha Inchi Project
Illustration
“Cambodian Military General, [name undisclosed], decided to join our Sacha Inchi project. He will mobilize countless numbers of people within his influence to the project. Several decades back this country carried out genocide on its people resulting in the death of 2 million people. Now we are making a difference in this area of the world that is still filled with explosive ordnances. Before we parted, his leaders prepared for us to consummate the agricultural agreement by worshipping his spirits. Instead, I took the opportunity to share with him and his men that we are Christians and that we worship the one true God. Even after sharing this with him, he still wanted to join with us in the Sacha Inchi project. Praise be to God that He has provided witness to this General!”
