Dear Saints,
Greetings in the sweetest name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are grateful for your prayers and support. The past months the Lord has been faithful and been leading us day by day. The ministry is progressing on all fronts, new souls are being added, without rest we are on the move, the coming of our Lord is very near, the latest developments in Egypt and Syria are all signs of the coming of our Lord, let us get ready and finish the work entrusted to each one of us.
The month of July and August has been really busy, the new session started at the  Hebron School of Pioneer evangelism. At present there are 16 students undergoing their 2nd year of training and 7 students undergoing their 1st year training. Uphold them in your prayers as they are studying the word. Bible refresher courses were arranged for servants of God serving in different mission fields. 15 servants of God came for their first course which was of 10 days, after them the sisters who are ministering in different fields came for the Bible class. It was a blessed time to study the Word along with the servants of God and be strengthened in the Lord. Do continue to uphold the ministers and their families who are laboring in their respective fields. May the Lord use them for His glory. The Lord has entrusted them souls, pray that God may give them the strength to take care of the sheep’s in their care. We are accountable for each soul entrusted in our care. It is the hardest job in the world to toil after the souls.
Special Bible classes were arranged in Ahmedabad from 12th -14th of August. Pastor Markus is ministering there. The believers gathered in Mani Nagar to study the Word. It is a new work and the Lord is doing great things, hardened criminals are turning to the Lord. It is a great sight to see how the Spirit of God mellows a person and turns him into a lamb. Please pray for these new believers as they face a lot of pressures from different sources. Pray that they may stand strong for the witness of Christ. From Ahmedabad we went to Mumbai for special Bible classes that were arranged in Thane and Gospel meeting in Kurla from 15th – 18th of August. We are grateful for your prayers the Lord has been faithful and leading the work. We are running short of ministers, the work is expanding at a very fast pace. There are so many hungry souls to be fed with the precious Word. Please uphold the work in Mumbai the commercial capital of India, where millions have come from different parts of the country in search of their dreams being fulfilled. It is heart rending to see millions travelling by train and bus in search of peace and joy, which they think money can give them and being deceived by Satan. So many youngsters are being trapped and literally destroyed by the underworld. So many committing suicides when their dreams are not fulfilled.
God be willing I will be leaving for Sri Lanka on the 1st of September 2013. Bro. Shaji Kurian and Bro. Dany will be joing me from Dubai. This is our send missionary trip to our neighboring country. Please uphold the work in your prayers. We will there in Kandy and Colombo till the 10th of September. Pastor Nimal Kumaratissa is coordinating the work.  Pray that we may be sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sri Lanka is not open to the Gospel, the saints there are facing lot of persecutions for the sake of their faith. Budhism is the official religion. Pray that our mission trip may be a blessing for the saints and they may be strengthened in the Spirit.
