Biblical Baptist Church, planted in 1958 among various language groups of India, is an indigenous and independent church-planting movement committed to preaching the gospel by sending help and support to establish churches in the regions.

The Lord has given us a vision and burden to train leaders, missionaries, and pastors. Please pray for the needed budget to run our teaching ministry. Currently we are paying rent for a worship and teaching center but would like to construct a permanent training center and small churches.

On Dec. 31 I preached at the watch-night service in our home church and in a village called Ujjinipura and other mission fields. And on Jan. 1 the new year communion service went well. I could witness the genuine dedication to our Lord Jesus.

The Lord enabled us to distribute clothing, funds, and cooking pots to the poorest of the poor in our church and community. Some have decided to attend the church regularly.

We also ministered to 30 children in a child care center. We praise God for you and for your prayerful, sacrificial, and generous support that have helped meet their educational, domestic, and personal needs.

During the month of October we went to Andhra Pradesh (neighboring state); 73 pastors from 12 churches and 12 mission organizations participated.

On Sept. 24 Biblical Baptist Church observed its anniversary. Among those who attended, 83 people heard the gospel for the first time, and 21 people opened their hearts to Christ.

Please pray for peace among the church. A lady and a man want to preach and teach; the church committee is in disagreement. The two people are trying to split the church and are creating disharmony.

Many thanks,
