Personal testimony: I am from a Christian family. But my family was just a nominal Christian. I lost my father in my childhood. So we went through financial & other problems in our childhood. My mother believed in Jesus & she took us church sometimes. But I was not thirsty for Jesus in my life. When I was a school going students that time my mother took me to a revival meeting in our church. The preacher was preached about Salvation Cross & Eternal life. When I was listening his preaching I felt that Jesus is telling me this night is the night of salvation in your life. When the preacher gave altar call I went in front of altar. I confessed my sins & Jesus saved me. In 1982 on 29th September I surrendered my life to Jesus & accepted Him as my Lord & Savior. And at the same night Jesus filled me in Holy Spirit & He called me for His works. Then I went to Bible School & after finishing my Bible study God appointed me as a Pastor. Now I am serving as Pastor & House Church planter in Barisal. I am actively working with One Way Ministries International as a Church planter & House church leader.
Ministry: Evengelism Mercy ministry Prayer ministry & House Church planting. I am also involved with one Way Ministries in Bangladesh as a House Church planter & leader. Last June I attended Power & Authority training. From the training I understood that God wants to use me through this ministry in my place. Now I am leading a house church.
Ministerial period: 30 years. Unreached groups: Hindu ( Namoshudro) & Muslim.
Goat Business
We have another option of supporting the movement, by donating goats. Goat farming can be a fairly profitable business for missionaries.
This goat ministry starts as a family business. Someone donates two female goats and one male goat. After a while each female gives birth to 1 to 3 kids. Once they have enough goats to sustain themselves, they give three goats to another family so they can start a goat business. This process keeps repeating and can provide support for many families.

Support a Missionary
Each of these leaders are considered missionaries. They are out working everyday in their villages or nearby villages. They train and appoint pastors to lead each house church or cell group that they plant. They continue to train, monitor, and oversee the pastors, and church members.
The money they use will go towards fuel and expense from traveling to and from their cell groups, pastors houses, and other ministry activities. It will also go towards feeding their family and other basic needs like housing, clothes, medicine, etc. Both giving options are invaluable (goat ministry or monthly giving). The work they do will keep producing fruit exponentially and will keep going long after you and I pass away.
