Happy New Year!

Psalms 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

We pray that as you enjoy the close of another year you will look forward to all the new things that the Lord has in store for you. God is so good. We want to acknowledge the faithfulness of God to us, His children. We would also like to express our thankfulness to those who have given us words of encouragement, and have prayed for us and supported us financially. When we started this new endeavor we had no idea who was for us, but with the Lord’s help we have had a victorious year.

1. We had applied to register with Revenue Canada, and with lots of prayer and commitment we rejoice that we have received that Number. You will find your Receipts enclosed in this letter.

2. The work at the Chilakaluripet compound had some financial setbacks and incurred a large debt with the business people in the area, which had cast a shadow on the Name of the Lord. With the faithful monthly support throughout the last year, this debt has been paid in full. We thank God.

3. One of our churches was full and needed extensive repairs, so with much discussion and consideration of the situation, the old building was torn down and a new building built that is completely paid for.

We have many things to thank God for, He has proven faithful through it all. Isaiah 42:9 – "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them."

In 2009, we look forward to seeing the work go forward and winning many souls for the kingdom. Presently we support our director and 12 pastors, some of which have two or three congregations of 50 – 150 members.

Each of these members has neighbors and relative that they contact. And when we consider that there are over a billion souls in INDIA, we must continue to go forward and bring the light of the glorious gospel to that land.

Many children are without families of their own and are in need of a stable and caring home. Our director has a dream of beginning a children’s home in the near future. As things unfold with this dream we ask that you pray for God’s direction and provision in this matter.

Revelation 21:5: "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."

It is with excitement and anticipation that we thank you, looking forward to great things in 2009.

May the Lord richly bless you!

In His Service
