This past month has been a great one hearing and learning
from the Lord as well as the people of God. The main lesson God taught me is to
be grateful in everything. I enjoyed conducting the Christmas program for the
kids at the slums. Vilma has been a great blessing to me and with her help it
went well. We enjoyed watching them showing off their talents and gifts. We had
the opportunity of blessing them with presents too. They were so happy. It is
so encouraging to see their grateful hearts and sweet smiles. All the hard work
paid off. We also took the kids to a program where Christmas was celebrated for
kids all over Ranchi and they loved it.

We also had a great time celebrating the youth Christmas.
Kumar and our team helped organize the whole thing. The youths had a great
time. After that we went to Bangalore to celebrate Christmas with the family
and it has been a great time there. We had an amazing retreat with the sons and
daughters team. It was so refreshing and fun. We have learned so much and had good
fellowship too. The best part of the retreat was when they all prayed over us
and had a time of prophesying over us. It was definitely life giving and I
treasure each moment of it. As the New year is here now the Lord has been
teaching me to serve Him wholeheartedly and willingly.

I am excited for what God is going to do through me to
reach out to the kids and I want to do the best I can. After coming back to
Ranchi we have decided our goals and targets for the year 2017 and one of my
strongest ones is to reach the parents of the kids at the slum through
ministering the word of God to kids at a deeper level. To also teach them how
to deal with issues in life. As I was praying the Lord laid this on my heart to
do and with His help I am praying it would happen.

Some of my prayer requests would be:
· That
the Lord would guide me to teach the kids in the right way so that they are the
light in their families.
· That
God would give extra wisdom in terms of reaching out to the Jharkhand people
and to fluently learn their language.
· To
trust Gods agenda and not mine.
