First Anniversary of No. 2 Second Coming Church

Greetings in Jesus' name. Peace and grace be multiplied unto you. Praise God, we are in the year 2008. We have started the flooring work, plastering of walls, fixing doors and windows, and painting of the tenth new church on the mountain top in the other state. Pray for its completion, and the finance needed. We celebrated the first anniversary in No. 2 Second Coming Church. Nearly 150 people attended. The church strength is 35, but we invited the other people from all religions and communities and there was a feast for all after anniversary services. This month we are celebrating the second anniversary in No. 1 Second Coming Church on 24th Sunday, and if God is willing we are opening the new church late in March or April this year. Thank you for your prayers and support for my wife and she walks on her own attending to household work. You can see her in the picture I have sent [to come], she is sitting next to me. By March/April schools will be closed for annual leave and children are studying hard, sitting late in the night till 11:00 p.m. and getting up every day by 4:00 a.m. Pray for their final exam. God bless you. Pastor Roy

Christmas and New Year

Greetings in Jesus' name. Peace and grace be multiplied unto you. Praise God, He gives his promises and the guidelines to inherit it. Belief, trust, and hope is the way. For Christmas we gave new clothes and dresses to 7 poor widows in the old age home, 17 poor widows in Kolikottupothai Church, 11 in Kottavilai Church, and 24 in Leepuram Church. Also to all children. Praise God. We are giving dresses to Second Coming Church during anniversary celebration in February. We had special services for New Year and Christmas in all the ten churches. Praise God. Thank you for all your prayers and support for my wife's surgery, and now she walks without the walker. I wish in 2008 12 months of happiness, 52 weeks of fun, 365 days of success, 8,760 hours of good health, 52.600 minutes of good luck, 3,153,600 seconds of joy. Peace be with you. In Christ, J.
