Colleen's Prayer Emails

Dear Praying Friends,


Greetings in His wonderful Name.

Thank you for praying for our Christmas program that was held on the 21st of November. Our children gave such a wonderful performance that was most professional! The Music Theatre was packed to capacity with people standing in the aisle and even sitting down in the vacant places in the aisles. The Lord truly answered prayer. We had a lady Police Officer with us. She is an Assistant Commissioner of Police, who was by the Late Rajiv Gandhi’s side when he was assassinated. She is a Christian and showed us her left hand where she only has a thumb and one finger, the rest of the fingers having been amputated as they were seriously injured. She spoke a few words and said that we should never be ashamed of being handicapped, but should go on with our work with courage. It was a privilege for me to stand beside her and present her with our Christmas CD that we released at this program.

The Rally closing programs are going well. The children and leaders are doing excellent programs, and it is wonderful to hear the children reciting memory verses.

Please continue to pray for so many programs being held until the 24th of December. Pray that all those who do not know the Lord who attend, will open their hearts to accept the Lord.

Swamy is improving and he may be returning to work after two weeks. Vimala is now going about her usual work. She still gets a lot of swelling on her foot, but it has improved a lot.

We are busy following up on all the children whose homes have been flattened. The places they have been allotted to, are very small. There is only one room, in which only three people can sleep. They only have a tiny kitchen and toilet, and the families are not at all happy. It is rather a sad situation.

The following people need special prayer as they are very unwell:

1. Meena, doing her Teacher’s training jn Vel’s College;

2. Olive, who is under psychiatric treatment;

3. Some of the Orphanage children who are suffering from fever. There is a lot of illness going around the city at present.

May God bless you and encourage you as He is encouraging us.

In His Service,

Colleen
