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 faithful prayers and financial support toward my life and ministry. Always I remember you in my prayer. May the good God bless you richly.

During the last six months the Lord protected me from dangers and disease and provided for all my needs according to His promises. For a long time I was praying for the salvation of my family. As an answer to prayer, the Lord changed their hearts and they received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. I praise God for His wonderful work.

I am involved in ministry as a pastor and an evangelist in the Kawardha district. People’s response to the Gospel in this area is not good. Hindu fanatic people dominate this area. They are creating much problem against our mission work. One day while I was doing ministry all of sudden some Hindu fanatics came in a vehicle and stopped right before me with the bad intention. They wanted to harm me in order to threaten me to no to continue ministry in this area. However, God saved me from their hands. I thank God for protecting my life.

I have 20 members in my church. They participate in every church activity. They join me in ministry. We distribute Gospel tracts and booklets, organize Sunday school, arrange home-prayer meetings and fasting and prayer meetings.

Under my leadership, I am training Kishor Nagaraj for the ministry. Once he was addicted to alcohol, but I shared with him from the Word of God, he repented and received Jesus as his personal Savior and decided to serve the Lord all through his life. Pray that this brother would become the channel of blessing for many.

During past months I distribute a good numbers of Gospel tracts and booklets. A a result two people came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Pray that they would grow in faith.

• Pray that God would continue to protect me from dangers.
• Pray that God would bless all my church members
• Pray that God would use me mightily to extend His kingdom.

In Christ,

Joseph Chandra Kar
