In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

In one of the villages in Karimanagar District, our Rural Area Evangelism Team screened the Jesus Film. Thereafter our District Coordinator, Pst John, visited the village to do follow-up. Last week Pst Nehemiah was there to conduct the first baptisms in the village. 6 women and 4 men followed the Lord in the step of water baptism. Praise the Lord. Our efforts are producing results. May the name of Jesus be lifted up in every village in AP

Dad passed away peacefully on 17 Dec at 5.45 AM. The funeral service was held on 18 Dec 09. It was an emotional farewell but with great hope that we will see our Dad soon face to face at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks to all who comforted us and helped us though this time of parting. We celebrate his life. A man who was faithful to the Lord till the end. A good husband and a great father. I miss him. ALL GLORY TO GOD

My Dad who is nearing 80 years has been diagnosed with liver cancer. He is now bedridden and is getting weaker by each passing day. However his spirit is strong and we are thankful to the Lord for the many years he has walked faithfully in the Lord. Please pray that God's will be done his his life and that the peace of God will be with our family. Psalms 136: 1 - Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.

By God's grace, three congregations started by the church planters have overgrown and are in need of a building of their own. So far we have identified three new sites. Each building cost about USD $6,000. One is in Warangal District, planted by Pst Jacob. A dear sister from Singapore has donated the money for this church building. Praise God for people who are willing to give generously. The second site is in Khammam, a pioneering work by Pst Timothy. The congregation which used to meet in the open has now 50 members and in need of a building. We need to pray for funds for this building. The third site is in Kurnool, pioneered by Pst Das. The PEC Ladies's fellowship are trying to raise funds for this project. We are praying that all these buildings will be ready for dedication by the 1st quater of 2010.

The 5th batch completed their training at the Great Commission Training Centre on 2nd Dec 09. They had completed 3 months of training at the Bible School in Kurnool. These men and women will go into the villages and pioneer church planting efforts. Please continue to pray for these graduates that they will serve the Lord with zeal and favor.
