During this summer we could visit 23 slums and rural and interior villages, and distribute tracts, gospel literature, and New Testaments.

We greet in the name of Jesus all the pastors, ministry partners, development workers, and representatives who came to the field and conducted this village ministry successful for the glory of God. We desire to construct tiny churches in the field as the Lord provides. Please pray about it.

I felt very much glad to see that our graduates who are involved in the Lord’s work ever since they graduated from Baptist Bible Institute. Please pray for them. Thank you.

Asha is working as counsellor and motivator; she is catering to the spiritual needs of children and adolescents. Pray that many children might commit their lives to Jesus.

Paul, working as a pastor at Nellore, is involved in regular tract distribution, personal evangelism, and conducting cottage meetings at some small houses. He is thankful for the Bible knowledge he received at BBI.

Shambu’s testimony: I was addicted to alcohol; I was forced to move from that city. I came to my native village called Kavali. I was in great distress. The gospel through Pastor Nelson has reached us. From then on, our hearts are for Jesus. Our home is also opened for all the loving hearts that worship Jesus. We have decided to live the rest of our lives for all those who do not know the gospel. Please pray for me.

Joseph: BBI’s Bible study group with 15 memmers was started at Parapuram; 20 new souls were added at Panukuvalasa. Venkata Naidu, the village leader, is filled with interest in the gospel. The number of believers who attend Nandivada worship group has increased to 28. At Puram village seekers’ meeting, 25 new people have heard the gospel.

Raju: The gospel was proclaimed door to door in Belamara. Mr. Ramarao has put an end to alcohol. His wife accepted Jesus as her Saviour. In Koduru village, 23 new people were found receptive to the gospel. Seekers’ meeting is continued at Chinnakoiripeta. Please pray for the harvesting of souls to increase at Magatapadu, for Guppidipeta house church people to proclaim the gospel in the neighboring villages, for a megaphone for street preaching, for the life of Kondayya to be renewed in Christ, and for a church to be constructed at Pinnitipeta.

In addition, we could visit places called Andhalgaon, Rukkini, Gopalapuram, and Ummagadda. As soon as we hear from them, we will inform the same to you.

Sincerely Yours in Christ,
