Praise the Lord!

Greetings to you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness this month, and THANK YOU for praying for us. God is at work in India.

I praise God that I’m able to report that my wife’s health is better. In addition to that, in my last report, I mentioned a Muslim man who lives in front of the church, and how he has been causing issues. It appears that the Lord is changing him. He has shown us favor over the last week. He came to me and spoke to me about the difference between the Hindu temple sounds, and the sounds that comes from our church. This is a positive step.

Finally, the most important (and joyous) news I have, is that another soul has joined our local church. Her name is Chinni. She is a widow who has been attending our services. She began asking for baptism about 3 months ago. I asked her why she was asking to be baptized and she gave me many reasons. However, the reasons she gave left me left me unconvinced of her true conversion. I asked her to continue to attend the church. I also asked the other members to observe her spiritual behavior. Three months later, she gives creditable evidence that she is a sinner and Jesus Christ died for her sins. The other members have given a good testimony concerning her as well. On the 10th of April we baptized her in the Name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

She has been welcomed into the Church. Please pray for her, and our ministry to her. Thank you. 

In His Service,

John H.
