We conducted Gospel meeting in Subbaiahpalem church of Christ from 24th Friday evening to 26th Saturday afternoon. We conduct this special meetings every summer. I invited several sound preachers of the area. They spoke on "Why so many denominations, Rightly dividing the word, Spiritual blessings, Baptism, Lord’s supper , Instruments etc. And we have 5 Hindu higher cast sisters in the church. On their request we conducted 25th night meeting in the middle of village . We have several warnings, and also cautions but we conducted successfully in much fearful situations. One sister Mahalakshmi arranged the dinner for all of the attendants on that night. We have good singing and also we had small preachers get to gather too at the time. And we have good response two were baptized in to Christ. Their names are Sis.Savithri and Bro.Yesubabu.

We conduct worship services in 6 congregations. All of them are faithful and follow the apostles doctrine and participate in Lord’s super on every Sunday. Some of the members went to other villages to work in tobacco fields. They don’t have work in these two months in the villages where we are.

We conduct worship services in a 7th day Adventist building in Boggaram village. But they came back and occupied their building. So that the church in Boggaram village gather in a church member’s( Daniel’s) house.

A surprising news that in Ramanjaneyapuram there is a denomination. Their pastor is busy on Sunday. So they break the bread on Friday. I came to know that when I visited these denominational members. And I asked them why you do like this. They said our pastor comes only on Friday so that we are doing like that. I preached the truth and the meaning of the Lord’s supper and what apostles did. Some of them understand it. But two girl like to learn more about the church and attending the services.

We had several private bible studies in the villages. I have seen that they like to listen but they respect their pastor who pretend them that He has the power of healing. So they need more teaching. But we have two responses in Makkenavaripalem village.

And I visited Acham palem village. It is a small new village. It is at the distance of14 miles from my house. All of them are idle worshipers. I am trying to preach the Gospel. They give ear unto the word. It seems there is a possibility to start the work there. And also visited two tribal areas in my district Guntur. Visiting the house to house preach the word.

We visited the sic who are in hospitals. Specially we helped a 4 years girl named as Sunitha who is suffering with diabetic. Her mother was died because of the diabetic. She is a very lovely girl. Her grand mother Suseela is a Christian , she take care of her. But sad thing is she troubled a lot with diabetic. We are providing insulin and medical care and food for this girl. Doctor said we have to do our level best for her. But it is not curable but have to take care. The cancer boy who we helped is doing better and thankful to you.

We had a Sister Saraswathy in Subbaiahpalem congregation. Who is a faithful member and good singer. She know many songs. She can sing every song. She was on the bed for more than two weeks. We provided one time food every day and she was on the bed with some liquid food. She went to the place where there is no pain and suffering on 21st February. We conducted memorial gathering on March 7th.

We conducted memorial meeting of Manda Isreal who encouraged me to work in Ramanjaneyapuram village. All of the congregation attended for the program and I had chance to speak them on the death.

We continue to feed the aged, infirmed and widowed of Subbaiahpalem village. We are providing one meal every day for these people.

I preached in memorial meeting of Sis.Santhi Suhasini in Narasaraopet who was wife of a preacher.Preached in wedding in the village of Chemudupadu and also participated in a wedding program in Narasaraopet and greet the bride and bridegroom. And also preched in a memorial meeting in Kamepalli church of Christ. Here I preached on where the man came from and what the purpose to stay here and where we have to go.

We are planning to start this feeding program in Makkenavaripalem village too. Now we have good building here too. Some of these aged and widowed like to sleep in the building at night times.
