It has been an amazing month of renewal and encouragement
from the Lord. The Lord has been teaching me how to make the ministry grow
deeper so that it would bear fruit and that the main key was to grow closer to
Him and his people. It was so fun having some of our family members come and
visit and encourage us. It was a wonderful and amazing time of refreshing and
enjoyment. They got to see us in our ministry and spend good time with us. The
best part was when we had a time of prayer and fellowship the Lord spoke to me
some really deep things through Tammyma and others in how I can serve Him
better and it was not of being a Martha working so much that I sometimes forget
the main thing but it is the part of spending more time with God and growing in
relationship with people as well. I know that this is true because ministry is
about relationships more than task. It has been the thing the Lord is teaching
me now to be more of Mary in the Bible.

In my busyness of life there is a tendency to forget that it
is about the people always and I am working on it. The Lord has been faithful
throughout this month through the big and small and I am so happy that He never
gives up on me. We had wonderful time of fellowship with our English service
members by conducting a barbecue party night and it was so fun. Tammyma was the
speaker for the night and they had a good time. This month in our youth
meetings we have done a lot of small outreaches to reach out to the poor and
sick in our community. We got the opportunity to pray for the sick in hospitals
and reach out to the poor by sharing Jesus to them and meeting their physical
needs. I love doing it as it always brings me joy to see the young people reach
out to the community out of their comfort zones. I was reminded that Jesus came
for people such as these and He rejoices when we put our faith into action. It
is surely more blessed to give than to receive. We could see the joy in the
people’s eyes as we prayed and reached out to them with all our hearts.

| Praying for the sick in hospital. |
It is a wonderful season where we know that the Lord is
doing amazing things in our church through the people of God and as we see the
growth there is more of responsibility of souls that are coming each day to the
Lord. Presently I am helping one of the youth who is from a Hindu family and
she has been coming now to our church few times and is not sure of accepting
Jesus as her Lord and it is hard for her to understand fully as none of her
family members know about her knowledge of Christ so far. I had the opportunity
to keep sharing more and also praying that she would accept Christ. It has been
a month of amazing opportunities where God would just send people to come to me
and I get to pray for them and listen to their problems. I find it exciting to
reach out to people more as they too learn to trust and grow in Him.

The slum ministry has been amazing and with Pastors help we
have got some more people to help us in
growing more in this ministry of reaching out to the children and taking it to
the next level. We have seen good response and this upcoming month we have got
some exciting things to teach the kids from the word of God and our aim is to
help them really grow in Christ. They are always so joyful and a happy group of
kids. Vilma and I find so much joy being around them and now with more helping
us it is going to be amazing to see what God has for them more. The women’s
ministry that we have each month and house visiting has been fun too.
Altogether I can say that God is amazing and He chooses to move in the way He
wants us and all we need is to listen.

| praying for the man on the street . |
Some of my prayer points would be:
·
Please pray that I would grow to have the heart
of Mary more and less of Martha. I need to work on it more.
·
For the youth girl that I am praying and meeting
with that God would soften her heart and that she would accept Him as her
personal saviour.
·
For God to continue giving me more agendas in
reaching the youths and children better.
