Request for prayers

Greetings in Jesus' name. Peace and grace be multiplied unto you. The construction of the tenth church is in progress and has reached the roof height. Please pray for its completion. We had three more baptisms last month and praise God we get new souls for Christ. It is paining to note many had dropped the monthly support. This we can see when we read the names appearing on the list. Please pray as the needs are growing and for God to give helping hands for His ministry. In the month of May I have more travels in ministry and hope God will take care. We specially pray for those who had sent prayer requests. Next month the school year is beginning and children have more needs like books, bags, shoes, admission fees, and others. Uphold us in your prayers. The tension with the adjoining countries like Sri Lanka is growing more and there is panic among people. I would like to have a week's leave to have a calm atmosphere and for prayer. I want this around the 16th to 20th of this month. I am heavily burdened and strained. Please pray. God be with you. With love and prayers, Roy

78th Birthday

Greetings in Jesus name. Peace and grace be multiplied unto you. Praise God I celebrated my 78th birthday on 29th March. It was in the Children's Home and all my family joined me. We had 4 baptisms in the Second Coming Church and these were Kanimozhi, Kimpetty, Palsia, and Valarmathy from our Children's Home. Praise God. We blessed a poor family with a small new house. The family are members of our church who lost their mud house in last October's rain and were homeless till now. We supported a poor family for their teenaged girl for her heart surgery and hope the girl will survive after that. Please pray. We supported a poor lady of our church in the hill area for her husband's funeral and burial. Hope you agree for these noble causes. The three cases are from our three different churches. The tenth church construction is in halfway and it is up to the window level. Please pray as this church needs a lot more than the others to complete. It might touch $8,000.00 or even more. I am visiting this area on the third week of April. The rain has already started and please pray that we complete the work before monsoon starts and that the necessary funds are met. The churches in every place are growing and I get good reports from all pastors. Pray and pray, let us glorify His name. Amen. ~ Roy
