It has been
a month of learning to hold on to Jesus my Rock and salvation when I felt like
giving up. Being in ministry has its own challenges but the key the Lord taught
me was to trust Him and He knew best. One of the things the Lord has been
teaching me is to stay strong and brave through any storm because He’s got my
back. As a father loves his daughter so He loves me and is taking care of my
every need be it physical or spiritual. The biggest thing I learned is to conquer
fear in many areas.

| Teaching the kids about hygiene |
Going to the
slums has been fun. Vilma and I have come up with ideas to reach the kids this
year with more of the gospel as well as basic awareness that would help them in
future and Basic English grammar. The class we enjoyed with them was the
hygiene class. They responded well and I knew it was so helpful for them. Some
of the things were so new for them and we had a great time hearing their
response and seeing their joy. We are presently practicing and getting ready
for the concert day on Feb 10th and it is going to be fun.

| second hand scooty |
Our church
is conducting this to reach out to our youth community in Ranchi which is going
to be wonderful to see. God has blessed me with a second hand scooty and it has
been a great blessing to travel better and to far places. I have learned how to
overcome fear in driving here in this new place. I had the opportunity to meet
one of the sponsor kids and her story surprised me. She used to be normal
talking, walking and singing and now she is not able to talk at all and her
hands totally paralyzed and not able to do anything. When I asked how it
happened and her mom told us that someone who does witchcraft brought this upon
her and now it’s been two years she has been like this and prayers have been
happening and no medicine can make her better. We are all praying for a miracle
to happen.

| sponsor kid- Sweety Kujur |
Some of the
things I am unable to grasp or understand but I believe that God is able to do
anything and her mom is not giving up in prayer. It was sad to see how a small
6 year old girl’s life has become. The church is helping them financially so
they would be able to visit the right doctors who can actually help and for
basic needs in their house. Though it has been a little tough month for me, it
has all turned out for good in the end and God will always guide us in the
right way till the end and never leaves us in our tough times.

| Teaching Sunday school in another local church |
Some of my
prayer points would be:
*Please pray
that the Lord would continue to give me courage and strength in other areas of
my life.
* For the concert
we are hosting on the 10th of Feb that it would not be just a show
people are attending but rather feel the Lords presence as they come and
participate.
* For the sponsor kid who needs Gods healing
touch for I believe that His power is above all else
