New Church Opened

Greetings in Jesus' name. Peace and grace be multiplied unto you. Praise God, we are opening the new church in the jungle area. The construction is over and well finished. The electrical work is in progress. The date of opening was 23 April 2008. Please pray. This church will accommodate more than 200 people and at present we have 5 families. But the church is situated close to 1,300 families, and our target and vision is to reach these 1,300 families. There is no other church here. Three girls have appeared for the 12th grade final exam, and if they get through, they have to be put to higher studies like engineering, nursing, or college studies. The girls are Dhivya, Rosy, and Dani Mercy Bai. The higher education will be costly, please pray for the needs. I have a wish to buy a big vehicle, brand new, with capacity for eight seats. Please pray. This might cost $12,000. Praise God we celebrated my 79th birthday on March 29. Thank you for your prayers. Though we are financially very tight, it encourages me when I see your heart to promote the ministry. One sister wrote that she made a promise with God, that whatever she gets in her pastoral service on that Sunday she will send it to me, and I got a check from her for $355.00. Praise God.
