Dear Friends,

     “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established” (Proverbs 4:26). While our feet literally take us many places, spiritually our feet go many ways also. It is my desire that all my steps, literally and spiritually, are in ways that please the Lord. Since writing last on April 17, Fisher of Men has heard from several radio listeners. One had been getting the broadcast the week the topic was “Suicide”, and he was thanking God that He had given him answers to questions he had. Another indicated he was a new listener. Only God can take a twenty-year-old broadcast and have it repeated at just the time a new listener needs questions answered! Again Fundamental Broadcasting Network reports that three new areas have reported they are listening to the broadcasts. Aland Islands is the first. It is part of an archipelago of about 6,500 islands of which only about 60-80 are inhabited. It is an autonomous region of Finland with Swedish as their official language with just over 30,000 souls. Two other places, Mayotte and Sao Tome & Principe have increased the count to 239 countries and locations that have heard the gospel broadcasting over FBN. Mayotte is an overseas department, region and single territorial collectivity of France. It is located in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Southeastern Africa with over 310,000 souls living on the islands that comprise Mayotte. Sao Tome & Principe is an island located in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of Central Africa. With a population of nearly 202,000, the Lord has opened up the potential to reach more than half a million souls with the gospel of Christ in these three new locations! We praise the Lord for this additional open door for broadcasting.

     The summer electrical storms are upon us and on May 17 one strike got some of our equipment. While it has been replaced we are still experiencing less that optimal service and are troubleshooting the cause. Pray that can be resolved soon.

     Bro.  Joevest Varghese in India reports that all six of the Bible Institute students graduated and that for the new academic year there are 14 students (8 men and 6 women). The students come from difficult backgrounds. Most of their parents are non-Christian and do not support the students. Anti-Christian groups have stopped the baptizing of converts in the rivers, so they are building a baptismal tank to accommodate the 40 people who are ready for baptism. He says doors for the gospel are being closed in many places. See the pictures of the new students on the back.

     Bro. Jeph Palit-Ang in the Philippines reports that he and his mother Rose were hospitalized in April for COVID. He had a sister-in-law in Manila, who was a doctor, die and was not able to attend the funeral. Rose has been admitted to the hospital a second time and was still there on June 1 when he was writing. The Bible Institute there will graduate 2 students (1 man and 1 woman) in July. Many of their church members are experiencing sickness. FOMMI was able to send special funds to apply to their hospital bills.

     Bro. Lemon (Proshenjit Sarkar) continues to evangelize along the rivers of the Sunderban in Bangladesh. The Bible School there has begun and progress is being made. That work has endless possibilities in reaching many souls. In the April prayer letter I listed some of the things he is praying for as more areas are evangelized (fishing equipment, bicycles, cows, water tanks, as well as funds to complete the third and final floor of their home base that will be used as a “First Aid Treatment” Clinic). The Lord knows all about the cost of each thing and if you would like to contribute to any of it, please note it on your check payable to Fishers of Men Ministries International. Thanks to those who have already contributed. Funds already received were wired the last week of May.

     “Anchors of the Faith” continues to be widely used in jails and prisons. Recently a case of the discipleship books and tests were mailed to a county jail in Illinois at the request of the chaplain.

     Although not much is said, your care and support (prayer and financial) of FOMMI and the Fisher-Munds through the many years are gratefully acknowledged. “For we are laborers together with God…” 1 Corinthians 3:9.

     Finally, many years ago Fishers of Men attempted to work in Canada in fishing (lobster) areas in the Maritimes. David Mitchell was in charge of that until his death. After that time, although an attempt was made to keep it going, FOMMI withdrew from that effort. We still hear from Canada and there is a need for pastors there. Two such churches are in lobster-fishing areas in Nova Scotia; one was a fairly large church at one time (don’t know the state now). If the Lord touches the heart of any preacher reading this and you would like more information, please contact FOMMI.

Until next time,
