Thanks Giving prayers: We have 12 thanks giving prayers in these
days. It is a common thing in Indian to conduct a special prayer
meeting at every time of joy, sad. We took the chance to preach
the word at that time also and conduct prayer meetings. And we
invite other people also at that time.
For example one of our brother and Sis.Dupati Veeraiah’s has a
grandson. Her wife’s name is Pedda Anjamma from Makkenavaripalem.
Their son’s faced several difficulties , after that he married a
young girl and now they have a boy. They are happy for it and
Praise God for all of his providence in their life and we took
the chance to preach the word of Lord.
And you know our Bro.Brahmaiah was sic and went to the hospital
with the heart stroke and he conducted a special thanks giving
prayer meeting in Subbaiahpalem village. We took the chance to
Preach the word of Lord. He need heart surgery. We are making
plan to bring him to the hospital.
And Sis.Mahalakshmi has several she buffalos’ I know you drink
cow mils. But here we don’t have much Cow milk. But most of the
milk coming from She buffalos. One of her she buffalo was sic
and troubled to give milk.. And It baby buffalo also sic. But
after some time later its sic ness was settled and she has joy
for it and give thanks to God for His providences arranged a
special prayer meeting in her house. Her house is in the middle
of the many Hindus. So Gospel reached to the many Hindus in that
area. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone
cheerful? Let him sing psalms. James 5:13. At these programs we
praise Him and Preach the word. We have several other programs
like this.
Sis.Thirupathamm gradually recovering from her difficulties
created by her son and grandson. You know she lost her teenage
grandson few months back. Her son was in jail.
Gospel Meetings: We preached in different villages and
congregations in our area. (I mentioned in my pervious report
that 7 people baptized in to Christ in the month of May). I
mentioned it in my previous report.
I believe we need lot of patience to preach for the Hindus or
Denominations Specially. Hindus are religious people and
Denominations has some knowledge in bible but not understand
correctly. And they can see their agenda in the denominational
doctrines.
And we conduct several Gospel meetings But most critical thing
is to work in Kothapalem village. Recently in this village All
of Hindus; celebrated a Hindu festival. In this festival they
specially prepared a big rock make it as some Hindu God keep it
in the middle of the village. Its called as Boddu rai. We can
find another statue of a big monkey , they called it Anjaneya.
They fixed the monkey statue front left side(entrance) of the
Public school building and this specially big rock front right
side of the public school. So all of the students has to watch
these two pagan God’s before they enter in to the school and
also when they exit from the school. We conduct the Gospel
meeting in this village and sow the seed. We have some responses
there but not any baptized in to Christ. Here some other
denominations also working. It is a very remote village and
there is no good road but there is a road to go there. And I
find some people who released from the jail in this vi llage.
Some times I am afraid to stay with them in the nights but I
left it to the God and working.
We preached in other Gospel meeting in Kambampalem church of
Christ and also Krishna Reddy Donka church of Christ, near by
Chilakaluripet city. It is at at the distance of 19 kilometers
from my city Narasaraopet. Around 60 people attended for the
meetings. They conduct Gospel meeting in the month of June . We
are going to meet them again next week.
My son Preached in a funeral in the village Yenugupalem. They
invited my son to preach in that program in my absence. It is at
the distance of 50 kilometers from my city. It is also in Guntur
district. There are about 120 people gathered in the program.
We named one boy and one girl recently. We named the girl as
Rani from Subbaiahapalem villgeand boy as Daniel from Maseed
manyam congregation.
We had the private Bible study with Private Bible study with the
33 Hindus and 79 denominational leaders in driftnet village and
different congregations. People like to listen the word. But the
seeds are sowed in different types of soil. So continue to sow
the seed. I have the burden that every soul needed for the
salvation and I believe we have to continue the sow the seed
until we get the fruits for Him. Last month After I came back
from usa I spent several nights in the congregations and new
villages.
Last Sunday one Sis.Mahalakshmi prepared some food and cheese.
All of the congregation eat that food prepared with the milk.
Rain:-It has been rain for the last 3 months. Still its raining.
Multi purpose projects are full and some areas are flooded. We
too have much water rounded by our house. But It is not able to
trouble us. But due to the continues rain water polluted very
much and many bugs raised. Kids trouble with cold.
I am glad to inform you that Makkenavaripalem church building
become a shelter place for some of the aged member of the
Makkenavaripalem church of Christ. Usually we have small houses.
We used to give porch or outside of the house for the aged
people. Because of the continues rain the building useful to the
worship and also gives shelter for some of the aged. Even there
is no walls.
We ordered the bricks to build the walls for Makkenavaripalem
church of Christ building. Hope bricks will come in two or three
days. And we brought the cement. We will start the walls
construction as soon as the wood windows made.
We are working on Indian Christian School recognition.
(accreditation) We paid the application fees to get the
permission to start the school. This is latest law for the
school. It is the first step to get the school recognition. All
of the children are doing well. I am glad I am able to bring the
pens and pencils for the kids from usa as a gifts for them. They
like them very much.
USA trip:- We are thankful for all of our brothers and sisters
for their kind hospitality. And my wife too enjoy much to meet
all of you and she also thankful for you. It is a blessing to us
to have such a good friends. We love you and your blessed
families.
Prayer Request:
1. Prayers needed to purchase the land for the Indian Christian
School run by us..
2. Prayers needed for the new work.
3. Prayers needed for our government.
We trust that all things work together for good to them that
love God to them who are called according to His
purpose.Rom:6:28. We pray my God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Amen.
