Dear Sponsor,

Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am very much thankful to you for your valuable prayers and generous financial support towards my life and ministry. I am quite aware that it is because of your prayer and financial support I am able to stand firm in the Lord’s ministry. I am praying for you continually. May the dear Lord bless you richly.

In the last six months the sovereign Lord protected my family from all sorts of danger and provided for all needs. During this time God taught me many significant lessons. Especially, He taught me to abide in His Word and live accordingly. I thank the Lord for all that He has done.

I am serving the Lord as a pastor and an evangelist among the high caste and marginalized people. Political condition of this place is not favorable to the Gospel. At present I have twenty members in my church. Some of them are excited to help me to carry out the great commission. Along with them I go for outreach ministry. We distribute Gospel tracts, organize Sunday school, arrange youth meeting, home-prayer meeting and fasting and prayer meeting.

In the past six months God enabled me to distribute a good number of Gospel tracts and booklets. As a result of my ministry four people received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Pray that those who have received the Gospel tracts would read and turn to the Lord.

• Pray for the favorable political condition to proclaim the Gospel in this place.
• Pray for the new believers that they would stand firm in the Lord.
• Pray for the church members that they would grow in Lord.
• Pray that God would use me mightily in the days to come.

In Christ,

Jitendra Kumar Bharti
