| With one of the sponsor kids family |
This past month has been a good one filled with lots of work and
responsibilities but it has been fun. I have been travelling a lot visiting
villages to meet kids that our church is supporting to help with their medical
and other needs as well. We have total of 9 kids who live far from the main
church and it was so wonderful to see how they travel each Sunday for many
kilometers just to attain church in Ranchi city. I was so surprised rather of
their dedication to just hear the word of God. That was something so new to me.
Kiran and I visit them to check on how they are doing physically, financially
and spiritually as well. We had fun ministering to them and praying with them.
This is something I really enjoyed doing.

The slum ministry is going good as well. Vilma and I are
preparing them for Christmas and the kids here live dancing a lot. They are
such a sweet bunch. We usually have 30 regular comers but my total attendance
sometimes is 60 or so. Any Hindu festival that comes they leave to their far villages as some of their relatives are strong Hindus still. My future plans
for them is to continue teaching them the word of God in creative ways so they
would be the light in the

families as most of theirs is a broken one .The one
reason I enjoy working with them is they seem to find the bright side of life
even with all their challenges at home. We try our best to love on them and
pour all we can to invest into their lives. It is one place I feel so much joy
ministering to them.

The Sunday school is going well too and the kids here need the
word of God. I usually teach first service and those kids are the ones who
travel so far to come hear the word of God .They are so receptive to His word .
I have been involved in the women's ministry and we do house visiting and
praying for them and that has been a great experience too. To those who live
far we travel by train, auto and whatever means to get the gospel there and encourage
the believers. We can see so much joy in their faces and
that reminds me that God rejoices over as well.

Whether it is big or small the biggest thing the Lord has been
teaching me is that Love reigns and that’s all we need. It has been a great
month with the Lord as I grow closer to Him every day and try to reflect
his characters regardless of the challenges that come . I could say there were
times of low as well but the truth is that God is always faithful. I love Him
more each day. I have also been involved in the youth ministry too and it has
been so much fun. Building good fellowship with them and encouraging them
through the word of God.

Some of my prayer points would be:
 |
| Ministry in English service through skit- Lazarus story |
* Please pray that as I am going to be preaching in the women's
fellowship this month for the first time that God would give me the right words
to share and encourage them.
* That I would continue to serve the kids and women in love here
each day cause its not always easy.
* To be a great example to the youths here as well and as I am
discipling some of them that God would give me wisdom.
