GOSPEL MEETINGS IN DIFFREN VILLAGES: We conducted Gospel
meeting at the village Karlakunta,Rompicheral mandal, Gunturu
district. It is a remote village. There is no good road facility
for that village. Meeting continue up to the midnight. Many
people attended for the meeting. I preached on the Subject Dont
touch. 2Samuel 6:1-7. We have several responses and some people
noted my phone number. I sow the seed there and i hope God will
give the fruit. I continue to visit them and also conducted
village Irlapadu, village Kothhapalem, chennupalli church of
Christ. We have good responses from these villages. All of these
places we sow the seed, I preached 3 days for Chennupalli
congregation. There is good gathering and people are interested
to learn the truth. and it resulted 7 baptisms in Chennupalli
church of Christ.. And I traveled several other villages and sow
the seed and looking for the fruits.
We participated in some funerals. One aged widow Punnamma
from Subbaiahpalem church of Christ passed away. She has been
suffering with anemia and her body is filled with much water and
it appears as swelling. Doctors advised to inject blood. I
helped for her treatment but she was not more but she went to
the place where there is no pain and sorrow. We had a special
gathering in the house of Punnamma. And Preached in the memorial
meeting of Manda Pedda Vandanam at Makkenavaripalem church of
Christ and We had special prayer meeting in the house of
N.Venkatewarlu from Ramanjaneyapuram village. He was not a
Christian. Now her wife attending the services regularly.
We had a family prayer meeting on 25th March in
Ramanjneyapuram congregation. This widow also attended the
prayer. This is her first attendance for the service. And came
to me talk about some situations and told me that she is gong to
remove all of the statues and pictures of Hindu's God and wanted
to attend for the service. I am glad for her repentance. Here i
spoke on the subject man's life span and what we have to do on
this earth.
Makkenavripalem church of Christ building: After the long
time we are able to constructed the
Makkenavaripalem church of Christ building roof. We started
this building more than 13 year back. The denominational people
thought that we will never constructed the roof. But when they
saw the roof constructin they were shaken with fear and
troubling with thiere words. Because in the past they said to
the villagers that if church of Christ is righ why God not
constructed the roof. But now there is no word from their mouth
. I find that many are talking that they are not right .We have
to construct the walls and finishing work. It needs your
prayers.
Indian Christian School and Home.: On March 1st, 2009, the
Indian Christian School opened the doors for students with your
kind help. The school teaches classes for 1st through 3rd
grades. This year we are going to add 4th and 5TH Classed. The
school is joined to my' house and currently has two teachers on
staff. my wife, Lakkepogu Vijaya Kumari is the school
administrator and Bible class teacher for the children.
Together, me and my wife run the Indian Christian from our home.
The children had a celebration on the one year anniversary. Area
preachers and government officials were invited to speak at the
celebration. Many members from the local congregations
surrounding the school also attended to share in the joy of the
children. The children introduced themselves to the audience in
the English language, recited Bible verses and sang songs. They
also sang some folk songs and played in Indian cultural games as
well. All of the students received prizes and gifts a t the
celebration. Among the speakers was the Bank Manager and Health
Officer who gave encouragement and instruction to the children.
The Education Officer told me in his speech of needy children in
other villages and asked him to help them if he could. There is
tremendous opportunity for the work of the Lord in this school
for the children. One of the preachers from an area congregation
spoke of the sower who sows seed with tears but reaps fruit with
joy. Please join with us in our celebration and in our hope for
the future. We covet your prayers on our behalf in this work.
Thank you so much for your interest in the school and in the
children.
Problem for the School: Recently our Government passed a
Government order . Every private school must get the recognition
from them. Every school must have the own buildings and play
ground and all of the other things. If the private school
administrators failed to do so they have to face the penalty or
fine of $2200 and also they will arrest the school management.
And close the school. So I humbly requesting you to please pray
to get the needed land for the school. Here the land is very
expensive because of the high population and all of the lands
are in the hands of Hindu higher cast people.
One Christian couple who was attracted by the false healing
understand the truth and come back to the church. Their names
are Eswaramma and Gangaiah. I continue to study the word of Lord
with some others too and also some other denominational people
and Hindus.
