JOY IN EVERY SEASON

Fun time at retreat.

This past month was an amazing month of encouragement and refreshment from the Lord. God has been so good to me even when I did not know what to do He was guiding me. We had a great time at the sons and daughters retreat. God spoke to me in many ways and I learned a lot during my one week there. Every session they taught us was so timely and relevant. The time of prayer and prophesying over us has been a great blessing and we received the motivation to serve the Lord better. The main thing God has been teaching me these past few months is to trust him completely and to know that he knows best.

I'm preaching on true worship- seminar

Awesome time of worship- women's seminar

We had a two day women’s seminar and it was really amazing to see the way God moved in this meeting. Our main theme was on worship and we had lots of fun teaching them. The women were blessed and encouraged to know how their life is worship to the Lord. We had quiz, worship stations and more and it was so great to see the Lord speak to each one of them and I was personally blessed seeing the Lord move in an amazing way. We could feel the presence of God so strong. I had the opportunity to teach in one of the sessions on True Worship and I taught first time in Hindi to the women and I am able to fully trust God for his help. We had around 80-90 women attend this two day seminar and it was a great time.

Forgiveness station- worship seminar

We also had our music concert with around 800-900 people and it was a blessed evening of worship, word and testimony. The youths were encouraged and we could feel the presence of God as we worshiped all night.  It was an open invitation to youths all over whether they did not know God or not. We had many unbelievers come in too and got to see God speaking to them as well. They were all blessed and we got to hear some testimonies. In Ranchi we know that music is one of the big ways to reach the youths of Ranchi and this ministry through music has touched many.

The slum ministry has been going on well too and the affection the kids have on us is inexpressible. They bring so much joy to my heart and it is my joy and favourite ministry serving the kids with all I have. They are eager to always know more and learn more. They love dancing and singing a lot and in Bangalore the Lord gave me a new vision to spread social empowerment among the children. To give them hope and teach them how to lead the others to do what is right and be a great example in their society that teaches them wrong. I have been praying about it so please do pray for that on how I can help the children to be stronger spiritually and emotionally. It has been an amazing month and I thank God for his faithfulness and favor over my life. I’m truly grateful.

My birthday celebration with the kids in slums this month.

Some of my prayer points would be:

·       That God would help me to help my kids at the slums move forward through social empowerment programs.

·       For God’s wisdom in every aspect of my life and ministry and for his grace for each day.

·       For God to help me be a good steward of his word as I teach the students in the college.
