Thanks Giving prayers: We have 12 thanks giving prayers in these days. It is a common thing in Indian to conduct a special prayer meeting at every time of joy, sad. We took the chance to preach the word at that time also and conduct prayer meetings. And we invite other people also at that time.
For example one of our brother and Sis.Dupati Veeraiah’s has a grandson. Her wife’s name is Pedda Anjamma from Makkenavaripalem. Their son’s faced several difficulties , after that he married a young girl and now they have a boy. They are happy for it and Praise God for all of his providence in their life and we took the chance to preach the word of Lord.

And you know our Bro.Brahmaiah was sic and went to the hospital with the heart stroke and he conducted a special thanks giving prayer meeting in Subbaiahpalem village. We took the chance to Preach the word of Lord. He need heart surgery. We are making plan to bring him to the hospital.

And Sis.Mahalakshmi has several she buffalos’ I know you drink cow mils. But here we don’t have much Cow milk. But most of the milk coming from She buffalos. One of her she buffalo was sic and troubled to give milk.. And It baby buffalo also sic. But after some time later its sic ness was settled and she has joy for it and give thanks to God for His providences arranged a special prayer meeting in her house. Her house is in the middle of the many Hindus. So Gospel reached to the many Hindus in that area. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. James 5:13. At these programs we praise Him and Preach the word. We have several other programs like this.

Sis.Thirupathamm gradually recovering from her difficulties created by her son and grandson. You know she lost her teenage grandson few months back. Her son was in jail.

Gospel Meetings: We preached in different villages and congregations in our area. (I mentioned in my pervious report that 7 people baptized in to Christ in the month of May). I mentioned it in my previous report.

I believe we need lot of patience to preach for the Hindus or Denominations Specially. Hindus are religious people and Denominations has some knowledge in bible but not understand correctly. And they can see their agenda in the denominational doctrines.

And we conduct several Gospel meetings But most critical thing is to work in Kothapalem village. Recently in this village All of Hindus; celebrated a Hindu festival. In this festival they specially prepared a big rock make it as some Hindu God keep it in the middle of the village. Its called as Boddu rai. We can find another statue of a big monkey , they called it Anjaneya. They fixed the monkey statue front left side(entrance) of the Public school building and this specially big rock front right side of the public school. So all of the students has to watch these two pagan God’s before they enter in to the school and also when they exit from the school. We conduct the Gospel meeting in this village and sow the seed. We have some responses there but not any baptized in to Christ. Here some other denominations also working. It is a very remote village and there is no good road but there is a road to go there. And I find some people who released from the jail in this vi llage. Some times I am afraid to stay with them in the nights but I left it to the God and working.

We preached in other Gospel meeting in Kambampalem church of Christ and also Krishna Reddy Donka church of Christ, near by Chilakaluripet city. It is at at the distance of 19 kilometers from my city Narasaraopet. Around 60 people attended for the meetings. They conduct Gospel meeting in the month of June . We are going to meet them again next week.

My son Preached in a funeral in the village Yenugupalem. They invited my son to preach in that program in my absence. It is at the distance of 50 kilometers from my city. It is also in Guntur district. There are about 120 people gathered in the program.

We named one boy and one girl recently. We named the girl as Rani from Subbaiahapalem villgeand boy as Daniel from Maseed manyam congregation.
We had the private Bible study with Private Bible study with the 33 Hindus and 79 denominational leaders in driftnet village and different congregations. People like to listen the word. But the seeds are sowed in different types of soil. So continue to sow the seed. I have the burden that every soul needed for the salvation and I believe we have to continue the sow the seed until we get the fruits for Him. Last month After I came back from usa I spent several nights in the congregations and new villages.
Last Sunday one Sis.Mahalakshmi prepared some food and cheese. All of the congregation eat that food prepared with the milk.
Rain:-It has been rain for the last 3 months. Still its raining. Multi purpose projects are full and some areas are flooded. We too have much water rounded by our house. But It is not able to trouble us. But due to the continues rain water polluted very much and many bugs raised. Kids trouble with cold.

I am glad to inform you that Makkenavaripalem church building become a shelter place for some of the aged member of the Makkenavaripalem church of Christ. Usually we have small houses. We used to give porch or outside of the house for the aged people. Because of the continues rain the building useful to the worship and also gives shelter for some of the aged. Even there is no walls.

We ordered the bricks to build the walls for Makkenavaripalem church of Christ building. Hope bricks will come in two or three days. And we brought the cement. We will start the walls construction as soon as the wood windows made.

We are working on Indian Christian School recognition. (accreditation) We paid the application fees to get the permission to start the school. This is latest law for the school. It is the first step to get the school recognition. All of the children are doing well. I am glad I am able to bring the pens and pencils for the kids from usa as a gifts for them. They like them very much.

USA trip:- We are thankful for all of our brothers and sisters for their kind hospitality. And my wife too enjoy much to meet all of you and she also thankful for you. It is a blessing to us to have such a good friends. We love you and your blessed families.


Prayer Request:
1. Prayers needed to purchase the land for the Indian Christian School run by us..
2. Prayers needed for the new work.
3. Prayers needed for our government.

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 Brothers in Christ B.Esudas B.Bharath Bhushan
