India Team USA

Dear Praying Friends,

This is just a short update for prayer of activities over the past 10 days:-

1. We praise God for His help, and for your prayers, with all the end of the year programs. It has been a terribly busy period for us and many of the staff have been working very hard. The programs went very well and many have heard the gospel. Please pray that God’s word will go deep into the hearts of all who have heard.

2. Three of our staff working in the HIV ministry will be spending the next 10 days in Bangalore. We have been given a stall to sell handicraft and the items made by the HIV people. The staff are going by train tomorrow and are taking a lot of things with them. Pray that they will be greatly encouraged and that much will be sold.

3. There is a lot of chikangunya all around us and some of our staff are affected. The Chetpet area where we are living in is full of this. Pray for protection for all of us, especially over this Christmas season.

4. On the 26th of December we are sending all the children who will be in the Orphanage (approximately 80) to Padappai until the 3rd of January. Pray for the staff who will be with them and a mission team that will be conducting many activities for them for three days.

5. Pray for our Security personnel. We are facing a lot of problems with the present Security and recently a large amount of money was stolen from the Bethany Higher Secondary School. We need honest men of integrity for this post.

6. The last three days it has been continuously raining here and many of our roads are flooded. The monsoon is very late this year.

As we go to the end of the year, many pressures are on all of us and we all need your prayers for renewal over the Christmas season.

A few lines from you would be greatly appreciated.

With warmest greetings and compliments of the season,

Colleen
