Pastor Peter Pal in India

1 August 2025

Greetings in the matchless and life-giving name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

With sincere hearts and humble efforts, we continue to labor for the glory of God, trusting Him to use even our small offerings for His greater purpose. We are profoundly thankful for your faithful prayers and steadfast partnership—they have strengthened our hands in the ministry and reminded us that we do not walk this path alone.

In the spirit of Christian fellowship and stewardship, I write to share vital ministry updates and a few pressing prayer concerns.

DIGITAL OUTREACH

The WhatsApp-based devotional ministry has emerged as a dynamic and far-reaching instrument of spiritual nourishment and transformation. What began as a simple initiative has now grown into a flourishing digital mission, touching the lives of thousands daily with gospel-centered devotionals in English, Hindi, and Telugu. With each passing day, the subscriber base expands, underscoring a deep and growing hunger for God’s Word across linguistic and cultural lines.

These daily messages have become more than mere words—they serve as lifelines of hope, encouragement, and truth. Numerous testimonies have poured in from recipients who have experienced emotional healing, spiritual renewal, and a rekindled faith. Among the most profound indicators of impact is the rising volume of prayer requests—many originating from persecuted believers and underground fellowships, particularly in the northern belt of India. These are regions where the gospel is often met with opposition, yet they are now witnessing a quiet but powerful resurgence of faith, resilience, and community.

This expanding digital outreach powerfully affirms the vital role of contextually relevant, language-inclusive ministry in sustaining and growing faith communities across geographical and ideological boundaries. As the ministry continues to reach into spiritually desolate and often hostile environments, it stands as a testimony to the power of technology when consecrated for Kingdom purposes.

PARENTS' HEALTH UPDATE

In the midst of life’s ongoing trials, the Lord in His mercy has granted us a beautiful reason to rejoice. It has been a source of deep comfort and quiet celebration to witness our beloved parents, now settled peacefully in their dedicated room, daily lifting their hearts in worship. Whether through the singing of cherished hymns, meditating on God’s Word, or drawing strength from trusted Christian broadcasts, their unwavering devotion continues to speak volumes—both to our hearts and to those around them.

We humbly invite you to join us in fervent prayer. Please intercede for the continued peace, strength, and health of both our father and mother. Pray that their lives may remain a beacon of God's faithfulness, encouraging and uplifting all who encounter them.

Looking ahead, mother is scheduled for a thyroxine-related surgical procedure on September 9th, a crucial next step in her medical care. In addition, her first post-treatment oncology review, including a detailed CT scan, is planned for the first week of October at Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu.

Launching New SOZO Training Segments in Hyderabad (Telugu):
With deep gratitude for how the Lord continues to lead, we are excited to announce the forthcoming launch of Online Telugu SOZO Team Training, envisioned to serve Telugu-speaking believers.

God is opening doors, and we are currently in prayerful conversations with like-minded ministers who resonate with this vision. These partnerships are crucial in building a strong, united team—especially in identifying a committed and spiritually mature Telugu translator who can faithfully carry the depth of the message across language barriers.

This training is not just a program; it is a mission to raise up people with teachable hearts who, once equipped, will go forth to minister healing, restoration, and the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and the global Telugu diaspora.

SOZO FIRE: Families In Revival & Equipping is a heartfelt family-driven mission to empower at least 25 individuals each month through focused teaching sessions, beginning in Hyderabad and expanding across India. To foster fellowship and care, a nourishing lunch will be provided during every session.

MISSIONARY ASSOCIATES – FIELD UPDATES

Pastor PC – Cultivating Discipleship in the Villages of Uttar Pradesh

Please uphold in prayer Pastor P.C. and Sister T.C., our dedicated missionary associates serving in Sonebhadra, Uttar Pradesh. They were recently involved in a road accident while returning from a mission outreach. By God's grace, their recovery continues—Sister T.C.’s fracture bandage has been removed, and she is currently undergoing physiotherapy to restore mobility and ease the pain. Pastor P.C., meanwhile, is battling elevated blood sugar levels and is under medical supervision.

Despite these physical challenges, their unwavering commitment to the Gospel remains strong. From their home, they continue to share the love and hope of Christ within their community. We invite you to earnestly pray for their complete healing, renewed strength, and continued impact for the Kingdom.

Steadfast in Service: Pastor M.K. and the Flourishing Fellowships in Chhattisgarh

In the heart of Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh, Pastor M.K. stands as a steadfast shepherd—serving with humility, courage, and a heart burning with the love of Christ. Week after week, he leads eight vibrant and spiritually growing fellowships, pouring his life into nurturing believers through sound biblical teaching, fervent prayer, and intentional discipleship. Under his pastoral care, these congregations are not only multiplying numerically, but also growing in maturity, unity, and depth of worship.

One of the most heartening developments has been the recent inclusion of children into these fellowships. Their bright eyes and joyful voices now echo in the gatherings, especially during times of worship. With pastoral tenderness and vision, Pastor M.K. has taken personal responsibility for mentoring these young ones—teaching them songs of praise and foundational music skills. Through his consistent encouragement and joyful training, he is raising up a new generation of worshipers—children who are already active in the life of the local church and eager to know the Lord more.

This sacred labor is not without its costs—both spiritual and practical. Pastor M.K. carries out this multifaceted ministry with limited resources but unwavering resolve. We call upon families, churches, and Christian communities to raise a banner of intercession for Pastor M.K. May your prayers uphold him in strength, and may your generous support empower the ongoing work—equipping these growing fellowships with the tools and encouragement they so greatly need.

A Faith Refined Through Fire: Sister P.S. and the Bold Witness in Chhattisgarh

In Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, a remarkable testimony of perseverance and purpose is unfolding through the life and ministry of Sister P.S. Despite suffering a serious scooter accident, she has returned to the field with a renewed spirit, continuing her calling with an unwavering devotion. Undeterred by personal pain, she resumed home visitations and faithfully leads the Sunday fellowship gatherings, radiating the grace and strength that only the Spirit of God can supply.

What the enemy may have meant for harm, the Lord has turned into a powerful story of multiplication. Inspired by her resilience and passion for the Gospel, a group of young women from her congregation has risen to serve alongside her. This dynamic team is now engaged in outreach, discipleship, and spiritual mentoring across their community, becoming a radiant witness to the hope and power of the Kingdom of God.

Yet amidst their growing influence, they face a pressing and immediate need: a proper roof over their meeting place. The fellowship currently gathers in a makeshift, inadequate structure, leaving them vulnerable to the elements and limiting their capacity to grow. Sister P.S. continues to lift this need before the Lord in faith, trusting Him for divine provision.

Will you stand in the gap with us—for Sister P.S. and her team of young women? Let your prayers be their covering, and let your giving be the answer to theirs. With your help, this fellowship can have a secure, God-honoring place of worship—where praise may rise unhindered, and many more may be discipled in truth and love.

Pastor J.M. – Persevering Through Persecution in Jammu & Kashmir

In the spiritually dry and conflict-laden terrains of Batote, Jammu and Kashmir, Pastor J.M. stands as a resilient witness to Christ amid intensifying hostility. His unwavering commitment to the Gospel has drawn recent severe opposition from religious extremists, resulting in life-threatening conditions that have forced him to withdraw from ministering in several villages—especially those where young and newly converted believers reside.

This disruption has not only limited his pastoral reach but also left fledgling faith communities vulnerable and isolated. The oppressive atmosphere continues to mount pressure on these young disciples, many of whom face daily risks for choosing to follow Christ.

The Body of Christ is urgently needed to raise a banner of prayer and sacrificial support over this frontline missionary and his family. We urge families, small groups, churches, and missions-minded believers across nations to intercede fervently and give generously, ensuring that the light of the Gospel continues to shine in the darkest corners of this region.

Pastor S.M. – Cultivating Discipleship in the Villages of Bihar

In the spiritually hungry and educationally underserved heartland of Gaya, Bihar, Pastor S.M. is faithfully shepherding a quiet but powerful movement of discipleship. His ministry spans numerous rural villages, where illiteracy is prevalent but hunger for the Word of God is growing exponentially. Through consistent small group gatherings, regular Scripture teaching, and the creative use of audio Bibles, many—especially women—are deepening in faith and spiritual maturity.

TOGETHER FOR THE HARVEST

These faithful servants represent just a glimpse of what God is doing through His people in the unreached and often hostile regions of North India. Beloved in Christ, the fields of North India are white unto harvest. Faithful laborers like Pastor M.K. and Sister P.S. are pouring themselves out daily for the advancement of the Gospel. Now is the time for us—brothers and sisters across cities and nations—to come alongside them—lifting them in daily prayer.

Would you consider lifting them in consistent prayer from your family altar?

Let us rise as one Body—praying and standing together—so that the light of Christ may shine ever brighter in the villages, towns and cities of India.

Additional Prayer Points

Jasmine’s Education – A Door Yet to Open

Our youngest, Jasmine, has missed two month of schooling as the academic year in India is already underway. Her education hangs in the balance as we seek admission into a good school in Hyderabad. We are praying for divine favor, open doors, and the timely provision of all the necessary financial resources for her

Settling into Our New Residence – A Time to Regroup and Restore
Upon our arrival, we took a much-needed period of rest, which brought a sense of peace and mental clarity. Essential utilities, including power backup and household necessities, were promptly set up. Our parents' room and the living area were arranged for comfort and functionality. Over the past two Sundays, we attended a nearby church and were encouraged by reconnecting with familiar faces in the city. Several meaningful visits from friends have already sparked conversations about new opportunities, which continue to unfold with promise. New ministry updates from Hyderabad will be updated soon.

Thank you for journeying with us. Your prayers lift our arms, and your support strengthens our steps.

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
—Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

What He Says, He Will Surely Do

There are moments in life when we all need a quiet yet firm reminder of the unshakable certainty of God’s promises. Unlike man, who is prone to change and limited by weakness, God is ever faithful, unchanging in His nature, and unwavering in His Word. What He declares, He accomplishes. What He promises, He fulfills — without fail.

The Scriptures remind us powerfully:

  • “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” — Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
  • “The Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent.” — 1 Samuel 15:29 (NKJV)

There have been times when I felt broken, overwhelmed by uncertainty, and without words to encourage even those closest to me. But in those very moments, His Word became my anchor — it strengthened me.

Take heart today: if God has spoken a promise over your life, He will bring it to fulfillment. His Word is trustworthy, His plans are unshakable, and His timing is perfect. Trust in Him — for He who promised is faithful.

Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

With humble means and small efforts, we strive to bring glory and honor to His name. Our hearts are deeply grateful for the intercessions and prayers lifted on our behalf, and the gifts and offerings that continue to strengthen our hands in the Lord’s work. In this spirit of fellowship and stewardship, I write to share significant ministry updates and pressing prayer needs. As we step forward in faith into the next six months of 2025, we sincerely seek your continued prayers and, as the Lord leads, your generous financial partnership.

1. SOZO Team Training

We’re praying and planning to begin the Sozo Team Training soon after we’re back to Hyderabad.

2. Digital Outreach: Expanding Reach through WhatsApp Devotionals

The WhatsApp-based devotional ministry has seen significant growth in both reach and spiritual impact. Currently, thousands of individuals receive daily gospel-centered messages in English, Hindi, Telugu and numbers continue to grow every day. The devotionals have not only served as a source of daily encouragement but have also led to numerous testimonies of personal transformation, emotional healing, and the rekindling of faith among recipients. A particularly notable development is the marked increase in prayer requests—many of which come from persecuted believers and Christian fellowships in the northern belt of India. These regions, often characterized by socio-political and religious challenges, are now witnessing renewed spiritual hunger and resilience.

This growing digital outreach continues to affirm the relevance of contextual, language-inclusive ministry efforts in nurturing and sustaining faith communities across geographical and cultural boundaries.

3. Mother's Health and Ongoing Treatment

By God’s grace and through the steadfast prayers and generous support of many well-wishers, my beloved mother, Mrs. Kaki Vijaya Sree, has successfully completed the full course of her prescribed cancer treatment at Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore. This included six intensive cycles of chemotherapy, twenty-five fractions of external beam radiation therapy, and three sessions of internal (brachy) radiation. Despite the physically demanding nature of this treatment regimen, she endured the process with remarkable resilience and without any major medical complications, a testimony to her enduring faith and God’s sustaining strength.

The multidisciplinary oncology team at CMC has expressed satisfaction with her response to the treatment, confirming that the active phase of cancer therapy has been completed. She is now in stable condition and remains strong, managing minor post-treatment health challenges with grace and courage. As part of her long-term care plan, she will continue to undergo regular surveillance through scheduled follow-ups to monitor her recovery and ensure early detection of any recurrence.

Looking ahead, she is scheduled for thyroid surgery on September 9th, as part of a separate but necessary medical intervention. In addition, her first post-treatment oncology follow-up, including a CT scan, is planned for October, which will be conducted under the supervision of the CMC oncology department.

4. Joy in the Midst of Trials:

We were blessed to celebrate Daddy’s 85th birthday on July 1st. It is a deep joy to witness him delight daily in the Lord’s presence—singing hymns, worship songs, and immersing himself in Scripture. Please continue to pray for his health and that his life remains a source of blessing to others.

5. Missionary Associates; Field Updates

Pastor P.C from Sonebhadra, Uttar Pradesh, was involved in an accident along with his wife while returning from the mission field. Sister T.C. sustained a fracture in her hand, while Pastor P.C. suffered a severe and painful injury to his chest. Unfortunately, due to the lack of adequate medical facilities in their area, they were unable to receive immediate care, and first aid was administered only two days after the incident. They are currently recuperating at their son's residence and are under medication. Kindly uphold them in your prayers for a full and swift recovery.

Pastor M.K, serving faithfully in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh, continues to provide steadfast spiritual leadership and pastoral care across eight growing fellowship locations. His consistent efforts are focused on nurturing these congregations in both the Word of God and authentic worship. Through weekly teaching, he emphasizes discipleship and spiritual formation, ensuring that each gathering matures in biblical understanding and heartfelt praise.

Recently, the Vacation Bible School (VBS) organized under his guidance concluded successfully, marking a significant milestone by enrolling a new group of young children into the local fellowships. These children have shown great enthusiasm in participating in worship, especially in music and singing. Pastor M.K. personally invests time each week to teach them songs of praise and basic musical skills, cultivating a joyful and spiritually enriching environment for the next generation of believers.

Sister P.S from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, continues to steadily recover from the injuries sustained in her recent scooter accident. By God's sustaining grace, she has resumed visiting believers in their homes and has faithfully recommenced leading Sunday worship services. Her unwavering commitment to the call of ministry is both inspiring and deeply encouraging. A group of young women from her fellowship, who have caught the same spirit of service and evangelistic zeal, actively accompany and support her in the ongoing outreach and discipleship efforts. However, one pressing concern that remains close to Sister P.S.'s heart is the urgent need to roof their humble meeting place. Despite their limited means, she continues to lift this need before the Lord in prayer, trusting in His provision for a shelter that would serve as a stable and secure space for worship, teaching, and fellowship.

Pastor J.M, serving faithfully in Batote, Jammu and Kashmir, continues to face intense opposition from local religious extremists. Due to threats and persistent hostility, he has been compelled to remain away from several villages—particularly those where young believers reside—restricting his ability to minister and offer pastoral care in person. Despite these challenges, a few individuals who were previously coerced into returning to their former faith traditions still maintain secret contact with Pastor J.M., seeking spiritual encouragement and guidance. The environment remains deeply challenging, with heightened pressure on new converts and ongoing risks to the safety of Christian workers in the region. Although a ceasefire has recently brought an end to the armed conflict in the area, and signs of normalcy are gradually returning, the situation on the ground for Christian ministry remains grim. Pastor J.M. and his family continue to endure spiritual, emotional, and physical trials and are in great need of earnest prayer and support from the body of Christ.

Pastor SM, serving faithfully in Gaya, Bihar, continues to strengthen numerous small groups of believers across surrounding villages through weekly fasting and prayer. Despite the predominantly uneducated backgrounds of the villagers, their deepening faith—nurtured through regular teaching of the Word in small group settings and the use of audio Bibles—has led to a significant increase in participation, especially among women. The singing of worship songs in local languages further enriches the spiritual atmosphere within these gatherings. Please continue to uphold the growth and impact of this village ministry in your prayers.

Cancer Patient Assistance Update

We had the opportunity to serve a family member in need when my wife’s aunt was brought to Christian Medical College (CMC) in critical condition. She was diagnosed with obstructive jaundice and severe blood infections. Following a thorough evaluation, she underwent an endoscopic surgical procedure, during which a stent was placed in her duodenum to alleviate the blockage.

Her hospitalization lasted 16 days, during which she received intensive medical care and treatment. This challenging season allowed us to stand with her and her family in prayer and service, offering practical support during her time of great need. 

PRAYER POINTS 2025

  • New Online Training will bring in people who have a learning heart and impact others with the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God's divine provisions will meet the ongoing needs of our ministry, family and children's education needs.

ADDITIONAL PRAYER POINTS

1.    Jasmine’s Education: Jasmine has had to forgo a month of schooling, as the academic year has already commenced in India. Please pray that she will be granted admission to a good school upon our return to Hyderabad and that all associated financial needs will be sufficiently met.

2.    Settling In and Initial Setup: After a long journey, sufficient rest will be needed before beginning the process of unpacking, organizing, and settling in. Priority will be given to essential setups such as connecting the power backup system, installing Wi-Fi, and addressing any immediate needs or emergencies. Keziah will join the family and continue her work by travelling from home.

We hold firmly to the truth that He who has called us is faithful. Your partnership—through prayer, encouragement, and generous giving—continues to be an eternal investment in the advancement of His Kingdom.

Convey our "Love and Thankfulness" to every silent GOOD SAMARITAN who loved us unconditionally in Christ love, standing with us in our pain and need.

Co-worker in God’s Kingdom,

Dear Beloved Pastor Dr. Wright and Sister Dori,

Greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

On behalf of our entire family, I write with deep gratitude for your unwavering prayers, generous support, and steadfast encouragement throughout these trying seasons. Your intercession and sacrificial giving have been nothing short of a lifeline—an embodiment of the love of Christ in action.

We remain especially thankful to those who responded swiftly and sacrificially to the urgent needs of our family. Your financial gifts and prayerful support enabled my mother’s critical treatment to proceed without delay. Though we may not be able to name every single friend, we lift each of you before the throne of grace—particularly Rev. Wright, Sister Dori, Dr. Ken Elzinga, Sister Percy Dreher, Pastor David & Sister Judy Streich, Pastor Leonard Shank, Brother Lee Seetoo, Pastor Vann Parker & Sister Connie Parker, and many others known only to God.

As of today, my mother, Mrs. Vijaya Sree (aged 69), continues her courageous journey through cancer treatment at Christian Medical College, Vellore. Following the successful completion of her sixth chemotherapy cycle on April 8, she has now transitioned into radiation therapy, a crucial phase involving daily sessions five days a week. By God’s sustaining grace, she has completed 11 radiation sessions without complication.

Over the past two weeks, she has undergone several detailed evaluations across medical specialties:

  • The Interventional Radiology team aspirated 20 ml of fluid from her abdomen.
  • The Pulmonology team conducted a CT Angiogram, Lupus Anticoagulant test, ECHO, and Troponin studies, revealing a blood clot near her heart. She is now under a four-month medication regimen to address this.
  • The Endocrine Surgery team performed a Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), diagnosing a retrosternal goiter requiring total thyroidectomy in the near future.

Despite the cumulative strain of treatment and the severe summer heat in Vellore, she has shown remarkable resilience. The Lord, in His mercy, has upheld her spirit and body.

Mother has previously triumphed over two strokes, chronic bronchial/asthmatic illness, gallbladder removal, and major gynecological surgery. Her life is a testimony to God’s faithfulness. We take heart in His Word:

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
—Philippians 1:6

At this critical juncture, we once again covet your earnest prayers:

  • For her complete healing and the successful completion of her remaining radiation sessions
  • For wisdom and strength as she prepares for possible thyroid surgery
  • For divine protection against complications
  • For our family as we manage her care, our ministry responsibilities, and decisions regarding relocation and financial stability

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in prayer and in love. May the Lord richly reward you and enlarge the fruit of your righteousness.

With sincere appreciation and hope,
Kaki Peter Pal & Family

17 February 2025

The apostle Paul endured immense hardships after choosing to follow the Lord Jesus Christ—beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, and constant dangers from robbers, his own people, Gentiles, and false brethren. He faced exhaustion, hunger, thirst, and exposure, yet remained steadfast in faith (2 Cor. 11:24-28).

Despite his trials, Paul consistently emphasized thanksgiving, expressing gratitude over 40 times in Scripture—primarily to God (Acts 27:35), the Father, and Christ Jesus (Eph. 5:20; 1 Tim. 1:12). He thanked fellow believers (Rom. 1:8), acknowledged God’s provision (Acts 27:35), rejoiced in deliverance (Rom. 7:25), and praised Him for the victory found in Christ (1 Cor. 15:57). He recognized the care shown by others in the faith (2 Cor. 8:16) and rejoiced in the inheritance of the saints (Col. 1:12).

May we follow Paul’s example and cultivate hearts of gratitude, saying with him:
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Cor. 9:15)
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Th. 5:18)
“Give thanks to God always for [other believers].” (2 Th. 2:13)

Letter of Thanksgiving from a Fellow Brother in the Indian Mission Field

As I reflect on the past year, I recognize that my year-end report may have conveyed uncertainty, which I now deeply regret. Please accept my sincere apologies. However, I take comfort in the unwavering truth of Scripture:

"The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it." — 1 Thessalonians 5:24

With hearts full of gratitude, we thank the Lord for His faithfulness amidst the challenges our family has faced. We are deeply grateful for God’s sustaining grace during my mother, Mrs. Kaki Vijaya Sree’s, ongoing battle with cancer. Through her surgeries, treatments, and travels for medical care, the Lord has provided strength and resources, even in our most difficult moments. We praise Him for granting her healing from past illnesses and for guiding the hands of the doctors overseeing her treatment at Christian Medical College, Vellore.

We also give thanks for the outpouring of love and support from faithful friends and spiritual mentors. Generous financial gifts arrived at a time of great need, reminding us of God’s provision through His people. The prayers, encouragement, and assistance from beloved brothers and sisters in Christ have been a testimony of God’s goodness and the unity of His Church.

My daily visits to the hospital provided valuable opportunities to share the Gospel with other patients. Whenever I attended a Christmas gathering, I would step forward to sing and share the message of Christ’s love in both Hindi and English. For the Cross-Over Night service, I joined my local church with my family before returning to the hospital.

Despite the challenges of balancing ministry, family responsibilities, and caregiving, the WhatsApp Prayer Room remained steadfastly active, uplifting those in need through dedicated intercession. Additionally, the daily devotional messages continued without interruption, providing consistent spiritual encouragement.

Mother has successfully undergone three chemotherapy sessions without experiencing any side effects or complications. She is able to take short walks, eat well, and remain engaged in her Bible reading and prayers. However, she has begun to experience some hair loss.

Sister PS, Brother MK, ML, and AT from Chhattisgarh continue to experience a bountiful harvest despite the recent statewide opposition to Christians. Sister PS now engages mostly with women ministry and is being powerfully used in His Kingdom

PC, KKG, KM, and RC from Uttar Pradesh engage in various social initiatives, including cleanliness drives, adult education, sewing programs, and women's hygiene awareness. Through these efforts, they foster meaningful connections with the local community while sharing the message of the Gospel.

KK from Haryana is making a meaningful impact by reaching out to underprivileged children and communities of rag-pickers near Basti. Through dedicated efforts, he provides books, colors, biscuits, clothing, and shoes to those in need. Additionally, to help protect families living in makeshift shelters, damaged tents were reinforced with large, thick polythene covers, offering relief from the harsh winter cold.

Keziah, our elder daughter, graduated on February 5, 2025, earning her Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Respiratory Therapy after completing a rigorous four-year program. She received commendable feedback from her institution and has been highly recommended by her faculty for opportunities at leading corporate hospitals in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

Jasmine developed a severe case of pneumonia, affecting her right lower lung. As my wife found it challenging to manage the frequent visits to local clinics, I promptly took Jasmine to Vellore for specialized pediatric care. Thanks to the expertise of the medical team, she received effective treatment and made a full recovery. After 15 days of rest and recuperation, Jasmine is now healthy and ready to return to school.

Bishop Santosh Thomas from Kashmir visited us in Vellore and prayed with us. During his master health check-up, doctors recommended shoulder surgery. I was blessed with the opportunity to serve him at his bedside throughout his surgery and recovery until his family members joined him.

With all our hearts, we offer praise for what He has already done and what He will continue to do. May we, like Paul, always say, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Cor. 9:15) and thank everyone who stood with us in prayer and generous giving.

In Christ’s love,
Pastor Peter Pal & Family

9 October 2024

In a world full of distractions, it is easy to lose focus on the Lord Jesus, leading to disappointment and discouragement. However, when we continually seek Him, our faith and hope are renewed (1 Thess 5:8; 1 Peter 1:21). We find joy in the love of God, which has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Rom 5:5).

We are thankful for the Lord's patient guidance, using both circumstances and people to draw us closer to Him. The story of Job illustrates how God allowed challenges to fulfill His divine purposes, not only in Job’s life but also in the lives of his family and friends, ultimately bringing glory to God. This serves as a reminder for us to stay focused on Him, as taught in Romans 15:4.

Every individual is significant in the eyes of the Lord, with a unique purpose established even before our birth. As stated in Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” We must resist any lies from the Devil that suggest we lack importance to God. He not only created us and bestowed life upon us (Psalm 139:13-17), but He also sacrificed Himself for our redemption on Calvary (1 John 3:16). His blood was shed to secure our salvation (John 19:34; Revelation 5:9). Let us turn to Him and embrace the abundant life He offers!

Greetings to you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As we reflect on each moment, day, and month, we recognize the abundant blessings that flow not only into our lives but also into the lives of many who benefit from our ministry for the glory of God. I take this opportunity to express our gratitude in supporting the mission field. Your unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel and serving those in need stands as a powerful testament to God's love in action.

Motorbike Accident Update: The aftermath of the accident continues to affect me physically, as I am now experiencing persistent pain in both shoulders. Last week, I consulted a doctor in my hometown due to the high medical expenses in Bengaluru. I also sought treatment from a local oil massage therapist. Your prayers for my complete healing would be greatly appreciated.

Pastor JM from Batote, Jammu and Kashmir, recently shared a powerful testament to his wife Suman’s unwavering faithfulness in Christian ministry. Though I’ve heard many stories from this dedicated family, this one deeply touched my heart. While Pastor JM was away, traveling on foot through the mountains to a believer's home for a prayer meeting, Suman stayed back at home, preparing to wash clothes on a freezing morning. As she lifted a heavy bucket of scalding hot water to pour into the washing machine, it suddenly slipped, spilling 15 liters of boiling water onto the ground and narrowly missing her.

Despite the pain, Suman managed to stand and avoid further injury. Remarkably, she never mentioned her burns when she called her husband to ask if the meeting had concluded. Later that evening, when Pastor JM called to check if she needed anything from the market, she casually requested a small ointment, downplaying the severity of her condition. It was only upon his return that Pastor JM discovered both her legs were severely burned, prompting an immediate visit to the local doctor for first aid.

Suman’s incredible patience and commitment to the Lord’s work is truly inspiring. She didn’t want to disrupt her husband’s ministry or cause him concern during the prayer meeting. During a video call, I was struck by the joy and resilience on their faces, despite their physical suffering. It humbled me, as I reflected on my own minor discomforts in comparison. Together, Pastor JM and Suman serve the Lord faithfully in one of the most challenging regions of Jammu and Kashmir, where they minister in a predominantly Muslim and Hindu district. Their devotion is an extraordinary witness to the power of faith in the face of adversity.

Pastor SC from Pune, Maharashtra, a man deeply committed to God’s work, recently faced an anti-conversion lawsuit in the town where he ministers. However, what seemed like a challenge ultimately turned into a moment that brought honor and glory to the Lord. Summoned by the police, Pastor SC, accompanied by his wife and a church sister, went to the police station to clarify the reasons behind the summons and assert his innocence. There, they were given a copy of the First Information Report (FIR), and the complainant was present as well.

During the investigation, several individuals arrived at the station: the village head, another police officer, some local villagers, and a doctor. These people stood as witnesses to the transformative work of God through Pastor SC’s ministry. The doctor shared his personal testimony, explaining that many of his patients, who had been receiving treatment for various ailments, had suddenly stopped visiting the hospital. When he reached out to them, they all attributed their healing to Pastor SC’s prayers. The doctor expressed his desire to meet this man of God and testified before the police, affirming that Pastor SC was a good man who could not have committed any wrongdoing.

Other witnesses echoed similar sentiments, stating that they experienced deliverance from different challenges through his prayers. The police were astonished by the overwhelming testimonies of support and subsequently dismissed the case. They acknowledged Pastor SC's positive contributions to society and assured him that no further actions would be taken against him. Hallelujah, all glory to Jesus!

Sister PS from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, is a devoted believer in Christ, standing firm as the only Christian in her Hindu family. She has a remarkable calling from God, and her life is marked by an anointing and a passionate zeal for the Lord. Since committing her life to Jesus, she has faced intense persecution, particularly from her own brother and sister-in-law. Yet, through steadfast faith and a deep commitment to memorizing Scripture, she has persevered. Today, she is powerfully used by God, and the newly established church in her town continues to grow, with signs and wonders happening regularly. The new believers are rapidly learning the Word of God and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Sister PS is currently seeking donations to purchase building materials to construct a small prayer hall, which will facilitate the further work of God in her community.

PRAISE POINTS:

  • We praise God for His protection to Pastor SC, Sister Suman and towards Sister Poonam.
  • We praise God for these faithful vessels in the hands of the Lord and their willingness to endure hardships for His glory and Kingdom.

PRAYER POINTS 2024

  • New Online Training will bring in people who have a learning heart and impact others with the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Establish a small-scale industry imprinting God’s Word on Wood, Acrylic sheets, Cups, and T-shirts. I’m personally aspiring to undergo a short training on this subject.
  • Sister Suman will receive complete healing and be able to walk soon. Keziah’s eye surgery scheduled on 14th Oct will go well.
  • God's divine provisions will meet the ongoing needs of our ministry, family, and children's education needs.

Titus in Crete: God's Man for the Job! A Comparison with Present-Day India

Before Paul left him in Crete, Titus had been his messenger to the Church in Corinth and was also responsible for the collection for Jerusalem's poor (2 Corinthians 2:13; 8:6, 16). Did tasks like these equip him for the work in Crete? And have you ever considered just how significant that work was?

Titus was called "to set things in order" (Titus 1:5). Shepherding the Cretans was a real challenge. They were descendants of the Philistines, and Crete’s Mount Ida was the so-called birthplace of Zeus, so Greek gods reigned there. In addition to false gods, there were also false teachers (Titus 1:10, 14). One of their prophets, the poet Epimenides, described the Cretans as liars, beasts, and gluttons (Titus 1:12). Surely, this job would require someone with the gifts of teaching, exhorting, and rebuking (Titus 2:1, 6).

But that’s not all Titus was called to do. God also called him to "appoint elders in every city" (Titus 1:5). When we consider the size of this task, another gift comes to mind - administration. Why? Because Crete was not just made up of a few small fishing villages. This 186x35 mile island was known in Bible times as "the island of 100 cities," and its million inhabitants were involved in all sorts of evil.

But Titus had God on his side! Historians give us some idea of their success as a team. They tell us Titus did appoint elders, and except for one mission trip to modern-day Yugoslavia, he spent the rest of his life as Crete’s chief elder. Historians tell us that the Christian faith endured in Crete into the twentieth century.

Comparing this to present-day India, we see parallels in the vastness and diversity of the challenges. India, with its population of over 1.4 billion, is a mosaic of cultures, religions, and languages. Just as Titus faced the challenge of shepherding a diverse and often resistant population, modern-day Christian leaders in India must navigate a complex social and religious landscape. The need for strong leadership, effective administration, and unwavering faith is as crucial now as it was then.

The work Titus accomplished in Crete is a testament to how God equips us for the tasks He calls us to do, no matter how daunting they may seem. Similarly, in present-day India, with its multitude of challenges, God continues to call and equip individuals for His work. May the story of Titus inspire us to trust in God's provision and guidance as we face our own unique challenges in Countries that we live in.

I must acknowledge, “WE CANNOT DO IT ALONE, WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS, PARTNERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION”. Regardless of geographical borders, we are eager to engage in ONLINE opportunities for training, mentorship, and fellowship and will warmly welcome your support.

 You might remember praying for our parliamentary elections, our new regime has come to power by coalition from other small parties. India is yet to see significant changes, turnabouts from statements, decisions and policies formed against the Dalits and minorities in India. In the Parliament house, this time we have stronger opposition parties, who can question certain policies against Christians and minorities at large. We still need your prayers for India as darkness still hovers, injustice, arrogance and anger towards us continues. We’re not here to discuss politics but we need prayers to live peacefully and the work of the Gospel will flourish.

India has recently experienced extreme weather conditions, with summer temperatures soaring to 49° to 51° Celsius in many regions. Currently, the country is facing heavy rains and floods affecting numerous towns and villages, including major cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Bengaluru. Southern India, particularly Kerala, has been severely impacted, with two significant landslides causing extensive damage and numerous casualties. Your prayers and support are greatly needed during this challenging time.

Despite recent setbacks, new opportunities have emerged through God's grace. I received numerous calls from individuals who had received my messages before my system went down. These interactions allowed me to pray with many for their families, children, and personal lives. I also had the chance to counsel numerous young people and couples facing various issues. Some conversations extended longer than anticipated, and a few individuals committed their lives to the Lord during these calls. This remarkable move of God deserves all the glory.

On July 1st, dad celebrated his 84th birthday, a true testament to the Lord's goodness and grace (Psalm 90:12). Despite having been in the ICU twice recently and facing a recommendation for knee replacement surgery, God's grace has surrounded him, and he is in good health, able to move around without any difficulty. We are deeply grateful to everyone who sent their well wishes and prayers for his continued well-being.

Pastor MK from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, has established house churches at three different locations in the town. Many individuals who have come to the Lord through his ministry come from impoverished and Dalit backgrounds. His talent for playing the guitar inspires worship across all age groups. Unfortunately, his home is in need of repairs following the passing of his father six months ago.

Sister PS from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, who comes from a Hindu background, has actively participated in our online training programs. She has begun teaching women and has now initiated the construction of a small hall for worship in Bilaspur town. Her impactful work among women has been transformative. She is currently seeking donations for building materials to support this endeavor.

Pastor RK from Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, along with a fellow brother, recently paid a humble visit to us in Bangalore. Pastor RK shared his testimony and delivered a brief exhortation at the Bengaluru fellowship. Both hail from the Gypsy community and are deeply committed to reaching out to their people. Pastor RK is dedicated to nurturing young individuals to embrace this vision. I have been invited to visit their field to conduct in-house training for these young men in Uttar Pradesh.

Pastor PC from Sonabadhra, Uttar Pradesh, served as the video instructor for the training material "Commitment - A Leader’s Quality" designed for groups without access to smartphones. He traveled approximately 180 km one way to reach these groups and even ventured into the state of Bihar to teach a few participants. During this time, a dangerous incident occurred when a high-tension wire fell in the neighborhood during the early hours of the night, resulting in the deaths of livestock in the fields.

The Daily Devotions and Prayer Room services on WhatsApp have been temporarily suspended until my new number is restored. I anticipate reestablishing all contacts on this new number by next week.

The Online Odisha Zoom Conference provided an excellent platform for me to share valuable insights drawn from the life of Jeremiah. Many pastors were blessed with a renewed reminder of our calling to serve Him.

PRAISE POINTS:

  • We praise God for His unwavering faithfulness, protection, and provision throughout the first six months of 2024.
  • Jasmine achieved a commendable position in the first formative assessment, showcasing significant improvement in her drawing skills. She has now advanced to using a paintbrush with watercolors. Additionally, over the past three weeks, she has begun attending guitar classes.
  • All participants have successfully received their certificates via postal mail. There were no incidents of lost documents or certificates damaged by rodents.
  • We praise God for the valuable calls attended this month. We pray that God will meet all their needs in His perfect timing and way.
  • Will return back to WhatsApp communications with more grace and favor, and be able to bridge lost contacts.
  • The Odisha Pastor’s Online Conference was a blessing.

PRAYER POINTS 2024

  • Pray for Kerala, worst affected due to thunderstorms, cloudburst, floods and landslides. The rescue operations will be able to rescue affected areas ASAP.
  • Will be able to Train & Equip more Gospel workers beyond 200 nos. this year.
  • Our vision is to establish a transformative Word-Centered Fellowship and Training Center in the heart of Andhra Pradesh. We earnestly seek divine guidance in acquiring a property that aligns with our aspirations—a space that facilitates immersive training experiences with esteemed global leaders. With plans to incorporate large screens and an environment optimized for internet-based learning, we aim to create a hub of enlightenment and empowerment.
  • Establish an industry dedicated to imprinting God’s Word on Wood, Acrylic sheets, Cups, and T-shirts to internally sustain the mission.
  • Keziah's recent ophthalmologist appointment did not meet our expectations, prompting us to seek a better facility for her treatment.
  • God's divine provisions will meet the ongoing needs of our ministry, family, and children's education. Additionally, the pending payments for the RO water system and motorbike services will be addressed.
  • There have been internet issues due to the rain.

In His grace to build His Kingdom,

Christmas 2023

Dear Pastor Wright, 

Thank you so very much for speaking to us during Online Christmas. Your presence during the occasion has deeply encouraged us. Your spirit of patience, love and your gesture to enjoy and singalong the groups is highly appreciated.

We were disappointed due to lack of proper mobile signals/bandwidth at times when our friends were singing. Another setback was that my audio interface (Soundcard) burnt up which made the audio connection very poor and delivered a very bad recording of the celebrations.

Your Christmas message was received with open hearts. Your message touched many realistic points of every individual that are being faced. We're so encouraged that "Immanuel" God is with us. He is with us every moment, in every situation and in every aspect.

Our friends/Associates had joined from different locations, others sent their apologies as their engagements during Christmas time is high.

To name a few whose presentations inspired us all:
1. Pastor Krishan (City: Karnal State:Haryana) who works among rag-pickers/garbage collectors in the city, whose daughter sang so sweetly, beautifully with all her heart. She surprised us all with her voice and confidence too. One thing we learnt was that it's not our riches or opportunities but our availability in His hands to be used by Him. Pastor Kishan later updated us on his ground zero Christmas outreach that was a blessing to many in the neighbourhood. We could lend him some small help during Christmas.

2. Pastor Kamlesh (City:Pratapgarh State:Uttar Pradesh) was bound by govt orders to confine himself with his family in his house to sing for us. Pastor Kamlesh with his family sang a beautiful Christmas Carol in his local language Bhojpuri.

3. Pastor Pampilal (City:Khandwa State:Madhya Pradesh) who lives in the most interior parts of the tribal areas where no transportation exists along with children and sang a tribal gypsy song in his own dialect.

We are blessed to put together things during Christmas. We as a family got into Carol practice from the first week of December. I'm so thankful to you, and to all others who inspired us one way or the other during Christmas. I also extend my gratitude to my family who not only sang but decorated and arranged all things together.

Thank you once again for your contribution to bring the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ in a special way this Christmas. We hope to receive more fellowship in the coming new year 2024.

We request you to keep us, our families, our friends/associates in your daily prayers.  

In His abundant grace and love,

Pastor Peter Pal   

2 August 2023

We are living in difficult days – a time of many obstacles but also of great opportunities “to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” As followers of Christ, we must remember His words: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn. 13:34-35).

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today’s prayer journal may include two major issues of India.

1. Northern and central states of India which are still continuing to receive heavy rains and sudden flash floods. Pray for people who have lost everything due to rains.

2. Manipur, the north-eastern state of India has been burning for the last 3 months. Being a sensitive issue, I encourage all our prayer partners to either watch or google news about Manipur. Christians from every state of India rallied peacefully to show solidarity with the believers of Manipur.

Pray for our associates of northern India.

· James and Sunny in Jammu and Kashmir

· Amandeep, Jacob, Mukhadar, Surjeet, Caleb in Punjab

· Anil, Krishan, Naseeb Paul, Sanjay in Haryana

· Ravi, Inder in Uttarakhand

· Robin, Anil, Rajesh, Vishal, Kamlesh, Sarvesh, Patiyar in Uttar Pradesh

· Sushil, Gooma in Rajasthan

· Pampi, Mujahid in Madhya Pradesh

· Munna, Soundarya, Loly, Amit, Lokesh, Sachin in Chhattisgarh

· Barnabas, John in Jharkhand

Celebrated dad’s 84th birthday on 1st of July.

Devotionals sent in WhatsApp continue to bless us and others who receive them. WhatsApp prayer channel connects us with common believers across India to share their issues for prayers. It’s always a blessing to pray for one and another.

God helped us to make a green room (a soundproof cabin) by our own efforts for our online training and recordings.


For your prayers: Please ask God to…

  • Help us all to serve the King with joy and passion.
  • Our associates will continue their efforts in disaster hit areas.
  • Provisions for health checkup and surgical procedure (Keziah & Peter).
  • Will see breakthrough in leadership skills, resources and social action in our mission fields.
  • Provisions for our rent, power bills, children’s educational needs, medical bills and all unmet needs in family and ministry.
  • Sponsors for printing study materials in Hindi and English.
  • Ministry trip to Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) and Pune (Maharashtra) in August will be a great blessing.

Yours in His Vineyard,

Pastor Peter Pal

Dear Praying Friends,

"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." Is. 41:10 This scripture is such a comfort during difficult times. God tells us not to be afraid or discouraged. Why? Because He is with us.

Last two months were a bit challenging and at some point, disturbing; Isaiah 41:10 strengthened us. 3rd May I celebrated my birthday with friends and family, attended two different cousin weddings. Two open air meetings in Andhra Pradesh mission field; more than 200 were reached with the Gospel.

Summer heat of May was unbearable, sleepless nights and power shut downs. Missed a few train journeys due to extreme heat. Two, three days went wasted as we could not book air conditioned coach tickets due to heavy rush.

Returning from an open air meeting we met with an automobile accident. None of us traveling in the car were harmed but the impact of collusion was felt by the car. The car has to be sent for major repairs.

Jasmine has been enrolled into 2nd grade and she resumed her schooling from 1st of June.

Consistently, most of us fell sick in these last two months but Sister Sunitha’s health went totally down due to the heatwave and travelling. Medical assistance at the hospital brought her back to a renewed strength. Praise God for His protection and all your prayers.

Daily Devotionals on WhatsApp: Three language devotions shared on WhatsApp continue to make a positive impact on individuals. It has become one of the convenient and accessible ways for people to receive spiritual nourishment daily. Sharing these messages on WhatsApp provide emotional support, motivating individuals during challenging times, and instill faith to move forward. WhatsApp's widespread use and accessibility make it an effective tool to reach a large number of people across different geographical locations in India. Daily devotions shared on WhatsApp also reach individuals who have no access to physical places of worship or who are unable to attend gatherings regularly. Many of them find value in the daily devotions they receive on WhatsApp, many incline to share them further with their own contacts. What a blessing!

Preparing for a Pastor’s Conference in the month of September at Chirala, Andhra Pradesh. We always seek your prayers to keep up the work of the Lord.

We need your prayers for better health, protection, strength and wisdom to persevere in His work.

Our elderly parents need your prayers too.

For the last two weeks my daughter Keziah (pronounced KAY zee ah) has had a terrible eye infection and I twice had to bring her to the hospital. She is on eye drop medications for a month now.
The eye specialist also recognised a difficulty for her eye sight and has referred her to a eye squint specialist. Already a through checkup was done on Thursday. Again the doctor advised a second overall checkup and may ask for a eye surgery. We're waiting for the appointment with the doctor today. We're not sure if we can go for a surgery at the moment but doctors advised that it's better to go for it as it will effect her brain in the future regarding eye sight.
This is the first opinion, may God provide for a second opinion in another hospital as well if needed.

On a daily basis and as the Spirit of the Lord leads us, we often pray for each of you by name.

Yours in Vineyard,

Pastor Peter Pal

8 May 2023

We continue to rejoice in serving our Lord with all the prayers of the saints. Nevertheless, God has not forsaken us nor is lenient in fulfilling His promises concerning us.

April is the onset of scorching hot Summers in India and continues through July. We thank the Lord for His protection and strength during April.

In these 29 years of ministry, the first time we conducted Good Friday and Easter service in a house atmosphere. A small flock came together to worship and praise during these services. I wish I could capture the moments in frames.

14th April Bhopal Pastor’s Meet: Unexpected heatwave of 40°C (104 Fahrenheit) was felt during my travel from Bengaluru to Bhopal, then Bhopal to Kanpur. Unfortunately, I had the upper berth on the train and I had a close experience of a furnace.

16th April Kanpur Pastor’s Meet: Praise God for a blessed time together with Pastors who serve in different terrain.

20th April joined the family to celebrate Jasmine’s birthday at her grandma's home in Andhra Pradesh. Experience of summers beyond imaginations, 43°C (109.4 Fahrenheit).

22nd April spoke during a memorial service of a dear uncle who was a faithful man in faith and work culture.

26th April attended a wedding with a great number of faithful God’s servants. It was also an occasion to meet one of my best Telugu Gospel singers Dr. AR Stevenson.

28th April drove 320kms to be part of an open evangelist meeting in Chirala.

Morning Devotions & WhatsApp Prayer Room continues to bless many around the country. During the first week of April, I refreshed and updated all contacts on WhatsApp messenger. What a blessing to see people getting blessed in small efforts.

We could bless an old lady with a new high speed table fan. She had a 37yrs old table fan given in her marriage, which hardly gave her comfort during this hot summer. To add more happiness, I helped her clean and oil the fan which sprang into action again.

A short and quick visit to our aunts and cousin sister blessed them again. Thank the Lord for the improvement in their health and healing of emotions.

We need your prayers for better health, strength and wisdom to persevere in His work.
Our elderly parents need your prayers for good health and sound mind.

3 March 2023

Thank you so much for praying for us.


There has been a drastic improvement in the wife's nose blockage and sinuses issue. Continuous use of prescribed medicines has loosened her nasal congestion. Little one has improved as well and has started attending her school.

The month of February has been a blessing and we praise God for all His mercies. Though I had issues with my health, in spite of all, we could minister both online and offline.

Morning Devotions & WhatsApp Prayer Room continues to bless many around the country. Pastor Titus from Hyderabad continues to assist to bring about vibrant and apt Word of promise for everyday.
Special Two days Online Word Conference blessed more than 560 Lay-Pastors from different states especially the North Indian Pastors. God gave me the privilege to translate for some international conferences in February.
Modules for New Believers are getting finalized that will offer local Pastors to strengthen their new believers. Hope we can finalize and print the materials by the end of March.
Survey the Land, after a long wait, God willing this week will make a quick trip to Andhra Pradesh to survey the donated properties for building prayer rooms. I may also apply for the renewal of my driving license during this visit.
We need your prayers for better health, strength and wisdom to persevere in His Kingdom building. We need your continued financial gifts to meet all ministry, educational and needs of the family.
Pray as we pay visit to all who are sick in the family, the grieved aunts family who lost their only son yesterday. Our visit will bring hope, healing and ever in-dwelling peace, while we share the love of Jesus.
Pray for the family who stays back and continues leading the Sunday service.

Latest Update

Things at my end are also rough; battles & challenges on every front. It's not only financial but also mental, emotional and physical attacks. There were some weird dreams, battling with serpents. My physical body is getting weaker, and I find pain in my thigh, feets and lower spine. Looking after the elderly is a privilege, but also a challenge to address their emotions, attitudes and their needs. Since the Church has engaged me to look after many responsibilities, mostly I am away returning home late evenings, Suneetha as a daughter-in-law shares much of my burdens. Suneetha's condition of Sinusitis has worsened due to winters and her washing clothes in cold water.

Keziah's annual exams have been announced. She may not be active during Christmas, her exams start from 23rd Dec and continue till 29th. Keziah has fee dues for this year, she will be allowed only if dues are cleared. The little one Jasmine scored well, did well in sports and won a few prizes.
What could we desire more is prayer.

23 September 2022

Greetings, hope you're recovering well on your eye sight post surgery.

The truth of suffering from a Biblical point has been so encouraging. It's true that we accept whatever comes to us, humbly accepting to suffer, but in the midst of suffering we look onto Christ, Who suffered more for us, even the death on the Cross.

Sister Sarah is very much in our prayers. Please tell her that we're praying for her. Please don't be discouraged or be saddened. Jesus loves her because she is a precious daughter of Lord Jesus Christ. I believe in heaven she may ask the Lord, why I suffered so much physically. The Lord will bring her very close to her, hug her, kiss her and will say, because you endured all pain, suffering with faith & joy, because of that many saw your unsaid testimony and gave their lives to Christ, their faith was strengthened.

Tell her, I too am suffering with much pain nowadays. I too want to learn from your life, how to keep up the faith and press on giving others comfort, love and joy.

Praying for Sister Dori & Blaise.

Things are getting into normalcy post floods, though the roads have developed a lot of potholes. The civic bodies are on their toes these days. In Karnataka, The Anti-Conversion Law has been passed in both legislative assemblies. Things are getting harder and harder for the proclamation of the gospel. But Praise be to God, the Queen's Funeral that was being watched by all the world brought the Gospel Truth, That Christ Jesus alone gives hope, joy and life eternal. India had its day to witness the live funeral service of The Queen and hear about Christ.

My Health: With the amount of travel, walk & work, it seems my backbone needs care. Often I feel even the bed mattress & pillow are having a tug of war during the night with my backbone.

Sometimes the cervical & shoulders hurt during long drives. My prayers for a vehicle update have an answer from the Lord. Pastor Ashley generously donated 25,000 rupees for a new bike, a brother from Church 3,000 rupees, another visitor to the Church 10,000 (but for my washing machine repair) but I'm planning to use it for my immediate need. Wow, Praise the Lord!!!

Early Morning Prayer & Devotions with the Church has blessed me very much. Daily devotion in different languages is a blessing to many whom I keep sending day after day. Praying for North India missions, hope I can visit the North sometime during this year, God willing.

Everyone in the family is doing well, except some cold & cough. The whole family will be visiting, hometown to attend my cousin's marriage during the first week of October.

October is a festive season here in India, and lots of offers on household products & vehicles. I'm praying for an upgrade from a scooter to a proper bike.
