It is good to be back home, but what an amazing time we had in India. It was great to see how the group melded together and worked so well as team. God's grace and mercy truly allowed us to work those long hours together and to see about 2500 total patients. He gave us the strength and energy we needed for each day and each medical camp. We are thankful for the opportunity we had to serve in India and also the opportunity to see and experience a new culture. Most importantly though, we were able to help local leaders and pastors spread the Good News. Please continue to pray that our work there would open up doors for the gospel to be spread and churches to planted. Pray that our friends would be equipped for the harvest, for His honor and His glory.

Home Again
Wow, those last few days flew by so quickly! The team split into two camps and we held our last two medical camps on Friday. After the camps, we boarded the bus again and headed 10 hours north back to Ahmedabad. We arrived back 'home' early Saturday morning, got some rest, and then headed out with our friends for some souvenir shopping. Some of us were even able to take a motorcycle ride and experience true India traffic and driving! :) Later that night our friends dropped us off at the airport and we made the journey home.

Dearly Beloved In Christ,
ReplyDeleteGreetings to you in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is really great to see your website and the works for the Lord. I thank the Lord for giving us a wonderful communication to know each other and to love each other and to help each other.
I am Pastor Samuel Joshua Geddam, the Founder & President of Hope Ministries in India. India is bounded by 330 million pagan Gods and there are 980,000 villages where people still do not know about Jesus. Our goal is to plant churches in unreached villages in India and we have been able to plant more churches wherever we can through His provision.(If you are interested in knowing about our church planting projects, let us know, we will send you more information).
We do have an orphanage (Hope Children’s Home) where we care 40 orphaned and abandoned children. We win the children to save them for christ. We are really urging you to please help us to feed the orphan children and show your love as the Lord leads you. If you need more information we would send you. We also dig borewells near the village churches where there is no access to clean water and give them the physical living waters of salvation. If you need more information, please do let us know.
Apart from all the above activities, as we reach numerous villages in jungle areas and remote areas of Andhra Pradesh, South India, people have no access to treatment and people are dying of so many neglected diseases such as cholera, typhoid, viral diseases, TB, eye diseases, diabetes, chicken guinea, malaria and heavy dental problems, and mostly in woman the cancer problems and so many diseases. Thousands of people including christians and the poor people are dying and we urge you to please help us with a mobile medical van and also some sort of equipmentual help which would help the villages. We are also in need of medicines, small medicinal equipments, and we also request all the medical teams who would volunteer and help the needy people which would be a great blessing to you. There are so many patients in villages who are dying of paralysis and we are intending to open a medical rehabilitation physiotherapies centers in villages and we need your valuable suggestions, guidance and support for these projects which would really saves lives in villages. We are really in need of heavy dental medical assistance in 96 villages urgently.
In whatever medical way you are able to assist us please do assist the downtrodden and we ask you to please do help us for 2 ambulance Van Vehicles, and mobile medical equipments and a little of further assistance which would really help us.
We are praying for you and for your dear families and for all the works you are doing in the nations. Please do let us know of your dates of medical missions trip to us and we will arrange and let you know more information.

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Bro. Emmanuel Nethala. I working as a Christian missionary in India, we are living at Andhra Pradesh. I was baptized in the Year 1995. After receiving salvation I readeth full bible I was filled with Holy Spirit and when I read the word of God I learn more Lord’s wisdom, and started thinking it deeply, I was guided by Holy Spirit that God is going to use me for his glory. I could know this through one thing that is god answered all in my prayers in Jesus name, after this I confirmed that God is with me. So I decided to work faithfully for the poor and needy people in our Country.
We are running a "Grace Children's Orphanage" here with 75 children. We are educating them at our home. We are taking classes every day, from 9; Am to 3; 20 P.M. we are teaching children by audio and video class weekly four times .we are also conducting practice music and songs programs to children. The children are very interest in the programmers. I am doing this ministry independently. There are many small villages surrounding the town of Bhimavaram in these villages’ live very poor and disadvantaged people, Everyday we visit these people, give out tracts and preach good news. Many hear the gospel and some are accepting Christ. There are a lot of poor children in the villages. They Families can not provide study material. Our primary motto is children who are suffering with lack of proper education with leisurely wondering from here and there in the streets.
We admitted such type of Neglected children and given them with proper education and we are guiding them spiritually in every manner. (Proverbs.6:22) in our organization. We are giving from our own family finances and with the help rendered by the Lord’s people and providing them all necessities like food, shelter, books and clothing. We are providing good drinking water and sanitation facilities by providing running water through taps in all places of our building. By the grace of the Lord I have been continuing the Ministry besides developing day by day. Every day we are check up children’s health care that who are ill weak we provide medicines and tonics, breads and milk to get well. We are planning to admit more children. And we are having so many Plans for helping hands of those who are poor and needy in India. So I Thanks to God and gives us an opportunity in sharing our ministry work with you.
Please pray for us and the needy children God has placed in our care. So that our ministry would bring honor and Glory for our Heavenly Father. Please share this news of our kids ministry to your church members and neighbors, we opened our home to many orphan children .it is by faith in God alone, that we are feeding and clothing these children. If any of you are willing to sponsor us, we would we very thankful.
We are all praying for you and your work and your blessed family members. All the children’s and widows are sending their love and sweet kisses and hugs to you.
