Thank you so much for your prayers and help! I’m doing well by the grace of God and ministry is also going well!

Praise God! Yesterday we went to court and our neighbor (who put false charges against my parents) also came secretly to court. He told the judge that my parents are innocent–that all the villagers are pressuring him and that is why he put false charges against my parents. So, yesterday 50% of the paper work was done to release us from the case! Now my parents need to present in court only one more day–December 8th. This court case has been going on for several years. Please pray that the court case will be over on December 8th! Then, both cases will be finished! Praise God! Please pray for the continued safety of this man because my other neighbors, other villagers and his wife are pressuring him to keep the case against us. He had to hide when he came to court. Thank you so much all of you for your prayers and love in Christ!

Here, it is extremely difficult to be acquitted from a case, if you do not pay a bribe. We can only pray for the judge and my neighbor. In my state, corruption abounds. Some years ago, my neighbors fought each other. One of my neighbors killed my other neighbor with a knife. The police came and arrested my neighbor who had committed the murder. After one hour, my neighbor gave a bribe to the police officer. Then, the police officer left him alone. A few days later, my neighbor went to court and gave a bribe to the judge. So the judge released him.

Here it is very easy to kill a man and not be charged, by paying a bribe. This is one reason that no one wants to come to this state for ministry. My parents and I decided to do ministry here–even though the non-Christians do not like us. We don’t know how long we are alive, but we are living only for Jesus. 
Please pray for our plans for a Christmas lunch! Me and my dad are planning to invite believers and their relatives and every single neighbor and all of the villagers for Christmas. If, Lord willing, they will come to the Christmas celebration, it will be a wonderful time to share the Good News with all of the people! Last year, 300 people came to the Christmas program! Thank you for your support–we were able to give them all lunch! This year we are planning to do the same and more! Also, on the night of December 24th, I will invite all youth. We will have a campfire and will worship and praise God all night long! 
Also, please pray as we want to go to new villages to share the Good News and show the Jesus Movie. I am planning to also take the youth (Christian teenagers). I want to go to a village named R.. There is no proper way to get to that village, so we cannot take a 3 or 4 wheeled vehicle, only a motorcycle. There is no electricity in the village, and it is very challenging to carry the generator on our motorcycle. I am taking the young people with me, because I want to teach them how to share the Gospel in the rural areas among the illiterate people. Please pray for us–that we can reach village R. safely and that God will greatly use us!

Prayer Requests:
  1. Please pray for our safety–we are planning to baptize some more believers!
  2. Please pray for us–we are planning to reach more unreachable villages to share the Gospel and show the Jesus Movie before Christmas!
  3. Please continue to pray for the judge who is handling the false police case against my parents. God can change his heart and he can free us from both false charges!
  4. Please continue to pray for the financial needs for our Christmas lunch!
  5. Please continue to pray for our 5 house churches and for the believers to be strong in every kind of persecution.

Thank you for your prayers and partnership for the Gospel!
