Family prayer meeting in the house of Hindu converted Christian Sis.Mahalakshmamma:- We conducted a special prayer meeting in the house of Sis.Mahalakshmamma. She constructed a small house in the midst of the main village of Subbaiahpalem where all of the Hindus located. She invited all of the congregation for the inauguration of his house and arranged a meeting with the help of the church in Ramanjaneyapuram church of Christ. Some of the neighboring Hindus also attended for the program. I took the chance to preach the Gospel for the attended Hindus and also strengthen the church with the word of Lord. And then she arranged a special meal for all of the attendants. I think you know this Sis.Mahalakshmamma has only one eye. Her second eye is artificial eye. She is able to see with her one eye but she is very faithful sister in Christ.

Visiting the sic:  I visited an young boys who was sever sickness his name is Bro.Nagesu who was ignored by his boss. I mentioned you about him few weeks back. Still he is in hospital and no any betterment. Still he is suffering with bedsore. I don’t know wheter he survive or not.

Accident to  Bro.Gangaiah from Subbaiahpalem church of Christ:- One of our brother Gangaiah from Subbaiahpalem congregation went to a work to cut the tree on 12 of this month. At that time accidentally one of the peace tree branch came and hit his ear and it goes to his ear.  At that time I was at camp but they called me Immediately I went to there  brought him to the hospital. It was not touch his brain but it destroy his ear. Doctor gave her some medicines. Today also we brought him to the hospital. He gave some more medicines. He told us that if it not cure with this medicines he need surgery. I helped her some for her medicines . Please pray for her.

Indian Christian School and Home:  Children are doing well and growing in the love of the Lord. Some of the children are suffering with cough and flue but recovering . Because of the flooded water all of the water was polluted and we are trying to make it fresh and make it available to all of my family and orphans. My young daughter Nyna  recovering from the chicken gunia. This night she had head bath.  One of our brother gave a gift of hair dryer but it was burned. We need to bring it to the mechanic and see if it reworks.

Now children are enjoy to sleep on the good beds. We purchased 20 beds and 20 pillows for the orphans. Now they are sleeping on the good beds. Each bed width is 2 ½ feet and 6 feet long.  I covered the beds with rexine, I mean with good quality plastic cover. So it is not a problem even if they passed the urine on the beds. And we got a refrigerator too to store  the vegetables and milk  etc.

We have already 2 big rooms  for orphans one room for my children and one room for me and my wife. and one small kitchen. After we got the beds room is not sufficient so that some of the orphans sleep in my children room and .  Each big room size is 20x10 feet.  Now we use these rooms for all the purposes as like class rooms and bedrooms and dining hall. And  I am trying  to get reorganization for the school. They instruct me as par the government rule, residential rooms has to be separate from the class rooms . So that I started another room and also plan to build another two shed on my house for the school purpose. And you know it will be useful for us to bring some more kids too. The Lord is blessing His people.  We serve a great, and loving heavenly Father.
