"…I have my library all around me, my cloud of witnesses to the strangeness and brilliance of human experience,

who have helped me to my deepest enjoyments of [life]."

Marilynne Robinson, When I was a Child I Read Books

Cru Singapore Media Ministry’s Biblio-Ministry to the Nations (BMTN) is about transforming communities for good through the power of literacy and reading broadly, reflectively, and empathetically. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Asung’s and Nim’s Miracle Worchum Library Ministry in Ukhrul, Manipur. The couple’s vision is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to Northeast India, and the library, opened in September 2020, is central to their ministry.

The Miracle Worchum library compliments BMTN’s primary objective, to promote the joy and discipline of reading with resources that benefit under privileged communities in emerging economies. The focus being on Christian print materials for children, and equipping leaders and families, where such resources are scarce.  On top of improving literacy and community development, the couple hope that the children and their family will come to know the love and saving grace of God through Jesus Christ. 

Asung and Nim are deeply grateful to those who have supported and journeyed with them. Many have donated books, and Cru Singapore Media Ministry (MM) is delighted to have had the privilege to do so too. Recently, MM dispatched seven cartons of books for the library. They included educational resources, science, fiction, and non-fiction books for children, and Christian literature on such topics as marriage, parenting, discipleship, and biographies for adults.

Please join us to support the couple and their library ministry through prayer. Pray that the Covid situation will improve; that both children and their parents will be able to go to the library and be blessed by the books and complimentary activities; and most of all, many in the community will come to salvation in Jesus Christ. a

We thank God for the opportunity to support Miracle Worchum Library Ministry. s

May God continue to work His purposes through the Library ministry for His glory. a
