Greetings to you in His precious Name. By His grace we are all doing fine and working hard for the Lord. We are spreading the Word in many unreached areas of Gannavaram. Many new gospel workers have committed themselves to joining us in our endeavors.
We have begun a work in a place called Tenneru. Twenty accepted Jesus and were baptized. A gospel worker, T. Devadanam, is helping us with the congregation which is growing day by day. Two weeks ago we made a thatched prayer hall with the cooperation of the new believers. We need your valuable prayers for this young congregation. We are in need of electrical power so that we can conduct prayer meetings at night. This village has no proper facility for drinking water. We hope to install a hand pump at a cost of $200 which would benefit more than forty families living here. We are also praying for tools such as films, a projector, and Bibles.
It has become apparent that a rice kitchen is needed in Gannavaram. The believers there are very poor and it is our desire to love them by providing at least one hot meal on Sundays. Already we have begun doing this with our limited resources but hope to receive additional support in the future.
Last week we attended a meeting for the workers in Chilakaluripet. Brother John David celebrated his seventy-second birthday. It was celebrated as "the day of evangelism. "All prayed for his good health and long life. Dr. D.V. Daniel and Bro. Kandavelli James graced the occasion. Before we left we called on Brother David in his office. He prayed for us, blessed and encouraged us. We praise the Lord for his leadership abilities.
Sister Sydney is doing well. Three times a week she ministers to the women in the nearby villages of Avutapalli, Balliparru, Ajjambudi, Davajigudem, and Gannavaram. Most are sick and aged women who toil in the fields. Please pray for Sister Sydney and her ministry as well as the rest of the workers here serving the Lord until His return.
