Dear Sister DeeAnn...

Greetings to you and all in the most wonderful name of Jesus Christ the Savior in whom we have faith and hope!

I am very happy to inform you about our ministry every time and appreciating your prayers for us to be continuing in His vineyard. How are you, your family and ministry there? We are so grateful to your love and kindness towards my family and the ministry in India. We never forget your challengeable prayers while we are in depressions, troubles and persecutions.

We praise God that again we are conducting interior outreach programs at remote tribal forest areas in Andhra Pradesh, India. Some of our pastors and churches youth committed to go for this interior outreach. We will start here on April, 2008  at an early in the morning and reaches to the projected place on 11th morning and will be come back later this month. When we reached the forest border and need to walk more than 20kms into thick forest through hills and valleys to reach the place. We are planning to ministry there among 15 villages where there are no churches, education, roads, electricity nor even any primary facilities. We have more experience in this kind of outreaches but always most dangerous, difficulty and challengeable and very sad to hear which the gospel has never been proclaimed in such places.

I would like to request your prayers, encouragement and kind support for these needs:

1. Pray for our safe journey and the team to stand in faith and commitment to work among this area.

2. Pray for our strong commitment and determination to reach the Uncivilized, Unreached, Disabled, and Illiterate people in this area.

3. Pray for that we are going to reach this area having many small hamlets and villages; there is no gospel or roads, schools, and medical care. Pray for this entire area filled with traditional beliefs, superstitions, idolatry and orthodox Hinduism. This area people are cruel, uncivilized and pray that God open their eyes to listen the gospel and accept Jesus as their personal savior and Lord brings great changes in their living conditions.

4. Pray for the activities during the outreach. We would like to distribute tracts if literates there, preach the gospel, sharing testimonies, conduct open air meetings, skits, film shows and many more spiritual programs

5. Pray for the orientation for Adult Literacy and education for Children, Social awareness and primary health activities. We are planning to provide school supplies, medicine, food items, and cloths (they don't have proper cloths).

6. Pray for that we are going to find possibilities for future ministry. Find disabled and understand their physical and medical needs, encouragement to people attend the church which we are going to plant, encouragement to people participate further educational programs and pray for that God opens the door for Christianity in this area

7. Please remember that this area is very interior and no transportation. There are many dreadful animals, poison wipers and insects, unknown diseases, malaria and viruses, and very dangerous to move even day time in this place. Militants and police are always searching each other and most of them are cruel Hindus. Pray for that God give us protection, from the above dangerous things.

8. We are getting permission from the forest and Police officials. Pray that God open their hearts to leave us safely and help us until we back to home.

9. Pray that our team who dedicated their lives for ministry in this place to reach the unreached, poor, needy and disabilities. Pray that if God leads some of our team, they are very interesting to stay there to work among these communities.

10. Please pray we need food items, water bottles, cloths, tracts, Bibles, slates, books, lights, medicine, videos and other things for our team and for people.

Please pray for the financial need of $1,150 for this outreach expenses. Once again we have started the work with Zero account but I believe God helps us this year also to do more and more this year rather than last year.

Please understand the need to organize such helping programs to attract the people for gospel as they are poor, needy, disabled and uncivilized people. They can't hear the gospel and don't accept Jesus as the real God. They accustomed to worship stones, trees, sun moon and the creature. Therefore we show the love of Christ, give food, explain the gospel through various activities, and distribute medicine and the primary needs freely to convince them. Please co-operate with us to reach these communities and plant churches and evangelize interior villages. Your prayers, encouragement, partnership and kind supports are most important for us to win more souls for Christ and extend His kingdom of God in India.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Blessings…

Yours in His ministry
Pastor Samuel
