Bible class: We have wonderful bible classes and all of the attendants involved in the discussion after the teaching. The questions we faced. When did the God born? Is it need to know how to read and write to get the salvation? Is it true to the prophesies of the men about the world ending? Etc.

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.

Prayer Request:

1 Sister Thirupthamma at Subbaiaplame is sic because of her grandsonÂ’s mirder and his son in jail. She is very faithful member of the church. She needs our prayers.

2.Prayers needed to purchase the land for the Indian Christian School run by us..

3..Prayers needed for the new work.

4.Prayers needed for our Trip to usa. We will be in Cody on 30th June and then we visit other congregations and participate in Fifth Annual Preachers files lectureship. This time my wife also coming with me. He visa has to approve. Pray for her visa. And our trip expenses..

We trust that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to His purpose.Rom:6:28. We pray my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Amen.

In the Love of the Lord

Yours Brother in Christ
