Dear Sponsor,

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

I extend my gratitude to you for you precious prayers and generous support for my ministry. Your constant prayer is helping me to do the ministry effectively. Please continue to uphold me in your prayers. I always remember you. May the dear Lord bless you and keep you safe and sound

In the last six months I tasted God’s goodness and mercy in my life. He cared for me and provided for all my needs.

I am serving the Lord as a pastor and evangelist. Every day, I am traveling around 10 kilometers by bicycle to win the lost. The church members are also actively involving in the ministry. As a church we are doing various kinds of ministries such as house visitation, tract distribution, Sunday schools, youth meetings, personal and door-to-door evangelism. Pray for the people who have heard the Good News through our ministry that God will open their hearts to realize the truth and come to the feet of Jesus, the Savior.

Recently, I started three new mission stations in Kathalmapatty, Pillaiarnatham and Vilvamarathupatty. Pray that God will change these mission stations to church in the coming days.

One day I happened to meet a blind who had no proper eyesight and had spent all of his earnings for his treatments. Even then he was not healed. When I shared the Gospel with him, the Holy Spirit worked in his heart and he realized the truth. Then he received Jesus as his personal Savior. Now he is attending our worship services with his family. Pray that God will help them to stand firm in the faith and open the way for their daily bread.

Balamma was suffering from cancer. As a church we prayed for her and God heard our prayer and healed her completely. As a result she is coming to our church for worship services and become a testimony for many people who did not know about Jesus, the Savior.

During the last six months I was able to distribute a good number of Gospel tracts. Through my ministry eight persons came to the saving knowledge of Christ and took water baptism.

• Please pray for the people in the villages of Kathalampatty, Pillaiarnatham and Vilvamarathupatty that they will come to the saving knowledge of Christ.
• Pray for Sankaran, a government employee is facing many problems in his personal life and in office, that God will comfort him.
• Pray for Elizabeth, a government employee that she will get a promotion in her job.

In Chirst,
