| Bible study group |
It has been
a great month of serving the Lord and Him teaching me how to keep growing in
Love with him and to show that love to people around me. I had the opportunity
to start a new Bible study group this past month and it has been wonderful
trusting the Lord for this new step. So far we had five girls join us and it
has been a great blessing teaching them from the word of God. Teaching has
always been my favorite thing to do and I enjoy it so much. Teaching the word
of God is even more exciting and as I teach I realize that I learn more and God
is calling me to go deeper in understanding his heart for me and his children.
One of the things I have learned here in Ranchi is the lack of the word of God
in the lives of the youths.

Many have
come to me and told me that they don’t know so many things that are in the
bible and they want to know more. Many of them have never been to any Sunday
school so they don’t know even the common stories from the bible. They are so
happy that this bible study is helping them now and they make sure they never
miss it even once. We have this class each week on Saturday for two hours and
it has been going on well. God has been putting this new idea in my heart from
past December and I thank Him for helping me to start it. My prayer is that we
will grow together in word and have a strong Godly fellowship with one another.
I love this group and they are amazing. I am so encouraged to see their hunger
to learn the word of God more.

We also had
our monthly women’s fellowship and it was really good. We have been trying to
minister to the women more efficiently and have come up with some new schemes
to help them more as many of them are from far places out of Ranchi. We are
going to start small prayer groups in each area where the women stay and they
will have it each month once just to come together and spend time praying.
Another thing we will be starting is a literacy program for the women so they
will be able to read the Bible. Last month as we have been teaching them the
importance of the word of God we realized that most of them don’t even know how
to read or write. So this training will help them to at least learn to read. We
will be starting this in April and we have got some teachers to teach the women
to read Hindi and we will have this once each week since they come from far
places. We are excited to see God lead us as a church towards helping the women
and encouraging them to go deeper in the word. So far we have got good response
from them and we are glad.

| Fun time at the Slums- Happy kids. |
The Slum
ministry has been going well too and I enjoy ministering to them with one of my
good friends who has been a great help to me in serving the kids there
alongside me. We have been helping the kids with their studies as their exams
are almost near and mainly helping them with their English. Our goal this year
is to help them be aware of the bad habits and things they see their friends or
parents do like drinking and so on. My friend and I are planning to take small
sessions to teach them the right things and to teach them to live for Jesus
though it is challenging and tough for them at times. We have taught them
already before but we want to keep reminding them and help them to choose right
always. Altogether it has been an amazing month with God leading me and
teaching me to always believe in the impossible.

Some of my
prayer points are:
· For the new programs we are planning
to start for the women that God would lead us in the right way.
· For the slum kids that God would
protect them from the influence of their environment and that they would choose
the right path.
· For God to help me as I lead that I
would be a good example to the people around me.
