I recently returned from Kapurthala, Punjab where this year’s class of Ambassador Academy – Punjab is underway. We had a great week – I taught on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and all the students received as well as members form the local church. Thank God for His Spirit, and for more of His people being filled!
I had hoped for more students this year, but providing proper accommodations for them was our biggest challenge. The students are being hosted at our partner church’s campus, and due to limited space, they were able to take just 7 students this year. But, though the numbers are few, we are filled with expectation, believing these are God’s chosen ones for us to equip this year in Punjab!
In addition to the training that is underway in Punjab, we’re also training 26 other young disciples at our Ambassador Academy – Nagaland location. These young people are from the only Naga tribe that is still yet to fully embrace the gospel. They are all from the same place, and we believe the community will be greatly impacted as they return.
In Nagaland, we decided to do just 40 days of training, and graduation is coming up on May 7th. Our Punjab graduation will be held on May 31st after two months of training there. We’re blessed to be releasing 33 more laborers into the harvest fields of India this year – please continue to uphold the students in your prayers, and pray for me as I travel between locations.
- April 29 – May 7; I’ll be in Nagaland
- May 27 – June 1; I’ll be in Punjab
For the harvest,
Mike Van Buskirk
