WILLS POINT, TX – <em>Through GFA World, discover how prayer empowered a national missionary to overcome threats and establish a permanent church building.</em> Pastor Hardik and his wife, Aahna, dove into the Lord’s work after briefly settling into their new area of ministry. They prayed for the sick and suffering, shared Christian literature and spread the hope found in Jesus’ name, just as they had done in their previous village. Once again, a church was born. The new believers squeezed into Hardik and Aahna’s home every Sunday to worship, but once Hardik’s neighbors realized what was going on, they threatened him and pressured him to stop. Desperate for a church building so they could worship in peace and safety, Hardik and his congregation prayed. <strong class="heading-3">No Obstacle to God</strong> Soon the Lord blessed them with land, and construction for the building started. That’s when the opposition intensified. A local group learned about the project and schemed how to halt it. They pressured local authorities and threatened the young missionary. Construction slowed as uncertainty swirled around the project. <a class="btn btn-default" href="https://gfa-newsletter.org/issue/17/8/#church-born" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">READ THE REST OF THE REPORT ON GFA-NEWSLETTER.ORG</a> <hr /> Picture the joy when believers receive their first permanent Church building, a place GFA World national missionaries can call a ministry home base for years to come.
