Greetings from our country! We thank our God for His protection and grace. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! The devil has been trying to stop the advancing of God’s kingdom, but he has not been able to do so. Christ is the builder of the kingdom of God (the church). It is His promise that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Our state government is planning to pass anti-conversion laws to prevent people becoming Christians and to throw pastors in jail. We need your continued prayers that we will proclaim the Gospel boldly. ...

Happy New Year! May this New Year be filled with joy, peace and God’s abundant blessings! This new year is going to be a year of hope and harvest. The last month of 2024 did not go well with us (humanly speaking). Five people whom we knew went to be with the Lord. My wife’s uncle was one of them. He died early in the morning on December 24th. We could not do as much outreach during the Christmas season as we did in previous years. We needed permission from the government officials of the town to be allowed do any Christian activity. We had planned to do prison ministry and school evangelism, but we were not given permission. Nevertheless, we were able to invite non-Christian children to our church on December 21st and do a program for them. The Gospel message was shared with them through songs, skits, and a short message. ...

Hello, dear brothers and sisters. Christmas greetings to you from our family and a blessed, happy “New Year”! 2024 has been a year of persecution for the churches in our state. Many house churches have been closed by the government with the pressure of Hindu radicals. In spite of all this, churches are growing. One new family was added to our Sunday fellowship. We baptized four people. Five couples were blessed with babies this year. One couple was blessed with a child after being married for four years. ...

October has started, but it is still very hot. It is hot and humid which makes it more difficult. Not only the climate in this region is hot, but the spiritual battle is also furious. Attacks on Christians are increasing day-by-day. Last month four churches were attacked and the pastors were arrested by the police. Three believers died in three different villages. The villagers did not let the Christians bury them in their villages. The villagers and government officials tried to force the family members of the deceased to become Hindu. The family members stood for their faith. In one of the villages, the Hindu villagers took the body and burnt it with all of the Hindu rituals. In the other two villages the Christians took the bodies away and buried them. One was buried in a forest and the other in nearby town. ...

“For the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the LORD.” -1 Samuel 3:21 I have been reading 1 Samuel. I am blessed by the verse mentioned above. It is my aim to know God, as Paul says of himself, “That I may know Him… being made conformable unto his death” (Philippians 3:10). The best way the Lord reveals himself is through His Word. As I am going through His Word, it is my prayer that the Lord would reveal himself more and more to me. I pray the same for you too. ...

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58. After serving the Lord in the northern mountains for many years, we moved back to our home town in 2017. The Lord gave us the opportunity to revisit the northern mountains last month. We met with the believers and had fellowship with them that before we led to the Lord. It was such a blessed time to see them all and to see them walking in the Lord! We thank SGWM for sponsoring our trip to the North. ...

‘’ I (Jesus) will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’’ Matthew 16:18. We have been experiencing the activities of forces of darkness to stop the growth of the church, but it is the promise of our Lord that they shall not prevail. Every Sunday, churches are attacked by the Hindu fanatics who are assisted by the local police and government officials. A few churches in our town have been closed down. ...

Greetings to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank the Lord for you all and for your partnership in the ministry of the Gospel. Here is a brief ministry report of the year 2023. Despite growing persecution in our state, the Lord kept us safe and gave us opportunities to spread the Gospel. House fellowships and new churches are being attacked everywhere in our state, but the Lord helped us to start a house fellowship in a village 20 kilometers from our town. Two extended families (15 people) are now members in this house fellowship. ...

Merry Christmas to you all! May the peace and grace of our Lord Jesus be upon you and may His joy fill your heart. God bless you all. Have a blessed wonderful season of Christmas. It’s our prayer that the Lord would make you channels of His salvation to many lost souls during this season. Many events took place last month. We know that it is a busy time for everyone, therefore we will share briefly about some of them. I was invited to share the Word in a three-day meeting in a big city church for their church anniversary. I preached for those three days on “The Purpose of the Church.” The people were challenged. Many made commitments to live their lives to bring glory to the Lord. ...
