We have the worship services in 6 congregations .Makkenavariplalem
church of Christ. Ramanjaneyapuram church of Christ,
Subbaiahpalem church of Christ, Boggaram church of Christ,
Rajanagaram church of Christ and Mazeed manyam church of Christ.
Makkenavaripalem church of Christ:- Here all of the
congregation members faithful and attendance for the worship and
Bible class is the same in this congregation. But at the end of
this month several of our members migrated to other village for
the tobacco works. Usually we don’t have any works in these
months in this area. We pay the part payment for the cement and
steel sellers and get all the needed cement and steel to fix the
columns up to the roof level (11 feet) And we fixed the columns.
And I am trying to find the way to fix the roof . I asked many
to pray for it and Bro.Eddie also asked for it. If we are not
able to use the cement it will be damaged. So that I am trying
to find the way to use it and fix the roof. If we start it we
can fix it in one week. The denominations made false statements
against the church of Christ because of this building previously
but when they saw the constructing of the building they are
feared if people may understand that their statements are false.
Prayers are needed very much for it.
In Subbaiahpalem village some other denomination is started
in our congregation area. They are not some particular
denomination. That denomination leader is member in 4
denominations. I am trying preach the sermons on the truth and
how the Satan works. I am visiting the all of the members and
strengthen them with the word and also visiting other
denominational people and Hindu’s in that village trying to
teach the truth. Here there is lady who married two times ,
divorced from her husband with out any biblical reason and she
works for a denomination. It make me fun. So now there is two
denominations in this village working against the church. I
train a man from this congregating to preach and serve for them.
Here we have some Higher cast aged sisters. I am regularly bring
then to the church building by my car. They asking me to conduct
worship separately in their street. I think it is good to
conduct worship in that area. Because I have bible study with
some other people of their cast , it seems they too like the
truth. I am thinking how would it be if we start the worship in
the middle of the higher cast. But problem may raise from the
other higher cast people, so I am discussing about this matter .
It may takes some more time to start it.
There is no any special news from other congregations. There
is no any change for the attendance for the services. All of
them are doing well. All of them are faithful. Satan did not
able to make any new trouble in these congregations. We recently
fixed the walls for Ramanjaneyapuram church building.
In Ramanjaneyapuram village we have two new comers. They are
blood sisters from Higher cast and loves the truth and respect
me and called a their brother(anna) I hope at the nearest day
they baptize and some other 3 also in dilemma that whether they
baptize or not. The main problem for them who they shared with
me is they don’t have any land to feed their buff low and they
have to get the grass from others land. They feared we have to
steel the grass every day. So what we have to do.
Indian Christian school and Home: We are working on
constructing other two small rooms which will be complete at end
of the February or First week of March. We are planning to
conduct 1st Anniversary of Indian Christian School on 1st of
March. We are able to continue the School for one year. Please
pray for it to continue the school and Home. And Hope some day
we will recognition for the school. I am find some more children
who are in need our help.
I continue to work in the village Kothapalli. Which I
mentioned it in my previous reports. It is very remote village
but I am trying to find time to touch them now and then and
teach the Gospel for them. There is a denomination there and
also Hindus strongly there. I am working for this village for
more than one year. I don’t lost hope on that village. Because I
find there are many good people who like to listen the truth. So
that I continue to go there and preach the word.
