The New Life Regular Baptist Society Association is a small association of churches in Andhra Pradesh, India, that has a heart for church planting in the outlying village. Pastor John Victor Sakile regularly conducts services with small groups of people during this formative time of their church plant.

For 15 years the Indian association has been struggling to obtain land for a church building. After much prayer, the association has purchased property in a rural area but now needs to construct a building. Pastor Sakile’s burden and desire is that “the whole village” be saved. Thirty kilometers away, Pastor Sakile’s son Prasad oversees worship services in a remote fishing village. “This village also be must saved,” Pastor John Sakile says. “Please pray for these two villages.”

“I hope that our IPFBM partners will show their [generosity] for Indian churches. . . . I am praying for your kind response on this church construction project,” Pastor Sakile says, noting that he and his church are praying for the GARBC/IPFBM family. The Sakiles are fully depending upon God, knowing that He will provide miraculously.
