John Haines Passed Away

Greetings in Jesus name. Peace and grace be multiplied unto you. It is sad news that Brother John Haines passed away last month. All church members, pastors, and all children grieve over the news. We pray for Sister Barbara and daughter Madaline to have the spiritual strength to bear this. My family has no words to express the sorrows and their grief is more. The team from the States is expected in a week from the time I write (October 1) and by the time this letter reaches you they would have returned back home. Children are doing good and busy in studying. Due to continuous rainfall the church roof work could not be completed. Even in my place it is still raining. We once again thank all who have generously given and this has helped to a great extent to meet various expenses. The nursing students' second year annual fee is given along with one year mess fee. Also, two of the college students who have completed the college studies are going for B.E.D. courses. The auditor fee for the last year also, amounting to $1,550, is to be paid. Praise God that we are able to meet all these high expenses. Thank you all once again for your burden and concern over us. Jesus said that whatever you do to any of these small children you have done it to me. Thank you for your prayers and support. With love and prayers, Pastor Roy
