Dearest Friends and Family! March 24, 2008 Greetings in Jesus’ matchless name from India! The past 2 months have been a flurry of activity…hard to believe it’s March already, and Easter is past. We are so grateful for all that the Lord accomplished throughout our ministry, and although we can’t share every detail in 2 pages, I’ll try to give you tidbits of some of the ‘events’ so you can PRAISE GOD with us. J We will also be sending out the web address soon for you to browse our photos so you can feel like you were here with us! Here’s a list of what we did…above and beyond the daily ins and outs of the ministry: * held a 4 day children’s camp with 800+
people in attendance (children, teachers, staff) -felt like feeding
the 5000! Then on March 1st, 520 children in our Bethany Public School here at our headquarters put on a spectacular performance for over 500 parents and friends at our ‘school concert’. With incredible cultural dances, songs, dramas (with the clear gospel message), we saw this as a great opportunity share Christ and to advertise our school to the local community, and we immediately saw the fruit as a new child enrolled on Monday morning! We praise God for faithful long term friends like David and Margaret-Elaine Jinno (20 years now since Yesupadam met them!), who spend a month here each year. David is the President of Love-n-Care Ministries USA and wrote the book Jesus’ Foot, and he taught 3-5 hours per day in our DTC class to Telugu and Hindi students (with translation of course)! Margaret-Elaine is an incredible seamstress, and spent long hours sewing many of the costumes for the Cinderella play, as well as mending clothing for our Children’s Home. Thank you both!! We appreciate your sacrifice very much.
GERMAN VISA-We had to reapply for
Yesupadam’s visa in order to return to Germany, and the process
is again 6-12 weeks…please pray for favor with man! ***THE LATEST ON GERMANY-Due to Yesupadam not having his visa for Germany yet, he will go to the US from April 10-29th to speak in churches and attend a conference. In the meantime, I, Monika, and Bethany and Benjamin will go to Germany ahead of him on April 13th to prepare things. Yesupadam will meet us there once he has his visa! So, we are excited that God is taking us back soon, and covet your ongoing prayers for our time there and God’s purposes to be fulfilled! MINISTRY IN INDIA-Please keep these in prayer, for God’s continued blessings, expansion, and provision…children homes, schools, Jr. College, old age home, hospital, computer center, printing press, sewing center, nursing school, disabled students and training center, Bible Schools, church planting and evangelism, recording studio. TRIBAL CAMP APRIL 1ST TO 9TH -one of the most
important things we do…evangelizing the tribal area village
by village for the purpose of planting churches! Last year we completed
the 11 districts that make up the Tribal mountain area!! This year
we are going to 2 new areas, SriKakulam District
(not Yesupadam’s village for those of you who know it) and Vijayanagaram
District (both 2 hours north of us). We will also do evangelism
in the Hindi speaking state of Chatisgarh with our Hindi DTC students
and staff. Over 200 pastors, students, staff, and church members
will go out for this huge venture. PLEASE CONSIDER… We praise God for all of you, our friends around the world, who love us and stand with us in reaching India with the gospel of Jesus Christ! Please continue to pray for wisdom and grace for the leadership, God’s abundant provision for the daily needs of the ministry, and also please consider how you can help support the work of Love-n-Care Ministries International.
