Dear Friends,

     The Old Testament stories of King David reveal many titles that can be ascribed to him such as, singer, warrior, adulterer, husband, father, leader, King, etc. but he is most remembered as The King of Israel, a title he claimed for forty years.  His son Absolum plotted to kill his father David to be able to take the throne as Israel’s King, but caught his beautiful head of hair in a tree while riding his donkey in battle.  His life was ended while hanging there by King David’s trusted friend Joab as he thrusted three spears through his body. David continued his rule as Israel’s King, but cried for his son Absolom.  One of David’s final recorded acts was to build an alter to the Lord, and he afforded burnt offerings and peace offering’s to the Lord there, as the Lord was then moved by entreaty (God’s promise) for the land.  (II Samuel 24:25)

     The Lord continues to raise up trainees in India as a group of approximately 30 Indian students will complete a short term training in June, and in the Philippines, the first class to be totally trained by Bryan Catanus will complete their ASE classes in June, also.  These students will be launched in ministry to share the truth of Jesus love, reconciling Asians to Himself.  What joy and rejoicing in Heaven as Asians come to accept Jesus by hearing of His provision of salvation. 

     May Jesus bless you abundantly for your prayers and gifts to reach Asian men, women, boys, and girls to the Savior. 

We greatly appreciate your part in this ministry,

Norm Luiken for the MEF Board
