				 Christian School Accreditation 
                
				 The 
				Indian Christian School has been opened thanks to the generosity 
				of thousands of Christians in the United States and a lot of 
				hard work and dedication of Esudas and his family.   
				
				Esudas and his family are grateful for the trust and support of 
				their American brothers and sisters in Christ and they look 
				forward to many years of service in the kingdom of Christ on 
				behalf of the children in their area.   
				
				  
				
				Illiteracy is Deadly 
                Many denominations are working in these lower caste 
				populations.  They are successfully winning converts to 
				their teachings.  Most of these converts are illiterate and 
				unable to search the scriptures to see whether or not the things 
				they have been taught are in accordance with the will of God.  
				Those who cannot read the scriptures are easy prey for false 
				teachers who preach another gospel.   
				The Indian Christian School is teaching the children to read 
				and write.  Those who can read can learn the truth for 
				themselves by reading and understanding the will of God straight 
				from the pages of His word and not through someone who claims to 
				be a Christian but is teaching them something unbiblical.   
				Literate Christians are stronger Christians.  Esudas and 
				his family are dedicated to helping these children climb out of 
				the deadly trap of illiteracy so that they can help themselves 
				and be more informed, more productive and more successful in 
				their lives as citizens and Christians.   
                School 
				Accreditation: 
                
				 Much 
				work has been done and the Indian Christian School now has over 
				130 children in attendance.  However a major hurdle stands 
				in their way at this time.  The school is not yet 
				officially accredited with the Indian government.   
				
				An application has been made for this and is pending approval of 
				the presiding officials.  However, Esudas has been informed 
				that the school lacks sufficient play ground space for the 
				children.  A more suitable location which fulfills this 
				requirement has been located but it requires a substantial 
				investment of capitol in order to acquire it and to build a new 
				facility at the new site.  
				
				We remain hopeful that the school will be able to meet this need 
				in the future, continue to function and to be able to teach 
				literacy to these children.  We need your prayers for the 
				success of this overwhelming task.
