The churches of Christ in India greet you

The Congregations

 
The church of Christ at Ramnajaneyapuram:
The church here has 25 in regular attendance.  They are assembling for Bible class on Friday evenings.  Esudas' wife, Vijaykumari, conducts Sunday school at 6.pm for the children.  Regular worship is at 8.00 PM. every Lord's day. 
 
The children here affectionately  call Esudas their "PRARDANA PEDANANA", meaning "Prayer uncle".  Esudas performs marriages and conducts funerals, memorial meetings, family prayers, house visits and family counseling classes when some couples have disputes between them. Esudas' wife spends time to talking with young ladies and women and conducting small gatherings to teach them the word of the Lord.  She also gives instruction for HIV awareness, other health talks and  the importance of home cleanliness.

Ramanjaneyapuram is a small village. It was started approximately 25 years ago. The population is about 1500 with the majority being Hindus. There are two denominations here as well. Most of the people work in one of the 4 crushers mills located in or near this village. Many people in search of work are migrating to this village, living in huts nearby.  Most of the migrant workers are denominational and they sometimes attend the services at the Ramanjaneyapuram church of Christ.  The people of this village are very poor and are sometimes employed by the higher cast people to bury or burn dead bodies. This is another work for the people of Ramanjaneyapuram besides the crusher mills.  

Esudas and his family helped them with rice and dall during the famines in the last few years. They were also supplied with Bibles, Hymnbooks, Tables and Chair, mats and communion tray and glasses. Often times when church members are suffering with severe sickness Esudas stayed with them nights and helped them with what resources he had available, strengthening and encouraging them with the word of God.  He used his  vehicle to transport them to cities like Narasaraopet or Ongole where they could receive medical treatment. Often times the sick lose their lives due to lack of money for proper medical care.
 
Esudas occasionally helps Manda Mangamma, widow of the deceased Manda Yesuratnam and the HIV patients with what money he has available.  Another widows' family is also suffering from aids.  Bellemmai whose husband has died leaving her with two children, both suffering with HIV.  Esudas helps these people as he is able. 
 
In this village there are 8 total HIV patients with two who are converted members of the church.  One has since died. 
 
Esudas and his family started this congregation on 9th September 2002.  They completed the roof at the end of 2006. Now they are able to hold their worship services under a roof.    Thanks to the goodness of God and the support of Christians from across the world, the building has been finished.  See progress pictures to the right.
 
The saints in the church of Christ at Ramanjaneyapuram greet you.  Please keep the the Lord's church and her members in your prayers.
