Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ!

I am so happy to write about the mercy of God upon my family. It is by God’s grace that we are doing well in our lives. God alone is leading and guiding us in His ministry. I thank God for His faithfulness towards us!
Last month, we were suffering from coughs and colds because the weather changed suddenly, but now we are doing better. God’s healing came upon us because you are constantly praying for our good health. We have the opportunity to serve Almighty God, and ministering with powerful men of God is such a privilege for me. I am so happy to tell you about my family’s spiritual life, that we come together for family prayer and meditate on the Bible daily.
My daily prayer to God is for a fruitful ministry. God is working among the people here. Believers have been coming to church with new testimonies–wow! All glory to God! The ministry in both of our churches is going well. Please pray for the spiritual growth of all of the believers. Today was a blessed Sunday at our church; we had good worship, a good message, and good testimonies. Please pray for the eight villages that the believers come from. When I meet with people and share about Jesus, people listen carefully. However, they immediately say, “If we go to church, the people will ban us from our village!” This is what commonly takes place in our country. Daily, people are afraid. I receive many prayer requests, but most of them are for healing. Before I pray for anyone, I share the Gospel of Jesus with them. They accept it and realize that they are in darkness. But, they are afraid to stop idol worship. They are afraid for all of the Hindu practices to stop. The people have such a mindset, and they backslide and lose faith in Jesus.
| When I think on these issues, I immediately remember the four kinds of land mentioned in Matthew 13–but good land brings 100 times the fruit. I am praying that God will break down the hardened hearts and make them fertile for His Word. | 
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for my ministry and my family to grow spiritually
 - Pray for a piece of land for our church building.
 - Pray for brother M–his faith and his work.
 - Pray for brother D, that God’s grace will be on his family.
 - Pray for sister Sanya* and her husband, that they will love each other and not quarrel.
 - Pray for sister Yani*, for her spiritual life.
 - Pray for both of the families who offer their homes for us to worship in.
 - Pray for brother Vijay*, that God will bless his shoe business.
 
With my whole heart, I would like to thank all my Senior Pastors of CCSG and all of my prayer warriors and all of the staff who are caring for us and loving us. Special regards to every hand who supports me financially–may God bless you all abundantly.
Thanks,
Pastor 8*
