This past month was a really busy yet and exciting month for all of us.

We had a wonderfull Diwali celebration with the villagers this past month, it was really a blessing to join them cause I was able to share of how Jesus is the true light of the world and why I was joining with them and celebrating the festival of lights with them. I was able to stand up for Jesus and speak about  his true character.

Diwali Celebration

On the 14th of this month we celebrated this day by tacking out all the kids for a picnic it was a really fun day for all of us.

Sharing and time of teaching from the Bible.

This month we also had a huge celebration for a really good friend of mine who knows about Jesus but he keeps tries to avoid to have fellowship with other believer friends. Please join with me in prayer as I help him to understand how important it is to be around who follow Jesus and that it helps him to grow in Christ.

Greetings from North India.

Greetings to my dear family and friends,

Everything has been going well so far by the grace of God. This past month has been a bit of dry season for me personally.

I still want to thank God for his love and mercy for me each day I live because he lives in me and not me living in him.

Helping Paint friends house before the wedding.

I had a wonderful time helping out at a friend’s house as his older brother got married but at the same time I felt I can do much better than this, I know and have felt God speaking to me to share his love with this family but at the same time I put my ideas and thoughts above Gods and put him in a box. I keep telling him that they are very strong in what they believe in and I am not able to do anything about it. I have been asking God to forgive me and for more courage and strength to share his love more openly.

The kids in our tuition center keep surprising us by the way they are growing and how they are so open to whatever we are able to teach them weather it being from the Bible or any basic value of life.

Society clean up day.

The kids and my team were involved in cleaning up our society to bring a greater awareness amount the people of our village. We want to be proud of the beautiful land God has given us and tack up personal responsibilities to make sure it’s clean and bringing glory to God also.

Making Thank you sign's with the kids.

The kids were blessed as we arranged a new library for them. We were able to thank the people who donated book's and made it possible for the kids to have a library in their own village.

Thank you Friends.

It’s been a great Joy of how God has helped us lead a group of young youth guys and helping them  to be and live responsibly.

Youth Group.

The guys are also growing in a tremendous way and it’s been our Joy to see how some of them are becoming and living responsibly also.

Our  New Leader For the youth group.
"KUSH RANNA"

We choose a guy from the youth group and the president leadership was handed over to him, we want them to know that they are also capable in help leading their own group of people and moreover they speak more openly sharing their ideas when the meetings are held in their local language over Hindi.

“Just as Moses was asked to divide his leadership and not take all the burden on him God has helped us to realise that.”

This past month we were able to go and visit a paralyzed man after a very long time. He was so happy to meet us after a long time, he is so thirsty for healing as he has been  paralyzed on his left side for 15 years and he is also been praying and just waiting for God to heal him .

Please join with us to see God bring complete healing over his body.

Here are a few prayer points:

1.   Please pray for God to break of the strong holds that has keeping his people to come to him.
2.   Please pray for our kids as God is blessing them with wisdom and a great team to help lead them in the right path, they will not under estimate themselves but live freely and choose what’s right.
3.   Please pray for the youth as we have given them to lead that Gods wisdom will lead them in how ever they plan to keep bringing development to our village and help bring peace in families that need peace.
4.    Please pray for the uncle who has been paralyzed for 15 years and he will see our God heals and he cares for him no matter what may be.
5.    Please pray for me as I have understood putting God in a box only hurts me and not anybody else. I would not be like Jonah and move in the opposite direction that what he has called me to move in. That I will let use me in a full way and that I will not control myself but let God control me.

Greetings Dear Family & Friends,

This past month was a very busy yet a very refreshing month for me. God has been working in great way among us and the people we are serving. We felt we should start having cottage gatherings every Wednesdays, so we started having cottage gatherings in our own houses every Wednesdays and God is bring in many young and older kids and people to our cottage gatherings. every Wednesdays we have over 20 people at these gatherings and I thank God for it.

My Birthday celebration was a very blessed time for me, God has really kept me safe and brought more people into my life that love and support in expanding the love of Jesus to the people and kids around us.

Later during towards the end of the month we had a team of 20 local people young and old who were gathered at our guest house and praising Jesus. We were able to serve them and be able to bless them with our time and praying for them. It was really a huge blessing and a eye opener to me just to see that there is hope for these local people and that Jesus loves them also very much. Please keep praying for these few Christians that are living in this area.

Now this was one of the most refreshing times for me, just leaving away from the village and going to some where it was very beautiful and at the same time a quiet place dint have to worry about any thing and just relax and be refreshed.

 This word just struck me "God cares more for the worker then his work"

                                        This was the team verse of the retreat

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest".

I was really blessed during this retreat it was a very refreshing weak. We had a lot of fun at the same time just soaking in the presence of Jesus and had a few teachings also.

Our tuition centre is still growing and we are having a positive feed back from these kids families. Through our tuition centre God is also opening new doors for the kids to be more free in choosing to come to our Sunday fellowship's and our cottage meetings.

Here are a few prayer points:

1. Please pray for the kids and families that are attending the cottage gatherings every Wednesday, for protection over them and their families from the evil one.
2. Please pray for God to open the eyes of our youth and the kids as they are growing and finding out and experiencing the truth.
3. Please pray as we have had the retreat as it was said to learn to rest well and not to over load I will keep resting well also. 
4. As I have started this new year in my life I will let God's will rule over my life.

                                       Thank you.

WORD BY HEART SCHOOL

Greeting to my family and friends,

I want to share with you about my experience that I had the past 3 months.


WORD BY HEART SEMINAR WEEK

I thank God that he made this possible for me to attend this school, it was a huge blessing for me. In this school we studied the book of Luke, It was not easy but at the same time it has been a journey that I have enjoyed.

 We had 22 students in this school, and 4 four wonderful and loving staff that helped us through out the whole 3 months.

This school has helped me to soak into his word day and night its just been such a crazy journey finding out so many things that I never knew. I have had the joy to learn the book of Luke and to be able to present it just like it was told in the time of Jesus.

At the same time the school had adventures school trip up to the beautiful Rothang pass valley. Its just so beautiful up there and its so clear that it was all created by the One and Only Living God. We had a wonderful time up there praying and interceding that God will open the eyes of the people group that are living there and that He will bring in more workers.

AT A WEDDING


My favourite story in the whole book of Luke that I have just learnt is the story of the prodigal son. It just shows me clearly there was a season in my life that I choose to run away from God and every thing that I loved, but when I realised that I was just killing my self from the inside and it was hurting the people that were around me. By his grace I was pulled out of pit that I pushed my self into. Since then I can see how Jesus has brought life back into this dying soul.

Every where that I go I see God has been adding more loving people into my life and I am very grateful for how he has been watching over me since I was a little baby.



A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW INFRONT OF THE BASE

This school has helped me to realise that what ever I think I knew about the word of God is not enough for me, I need more and only that can keep me growing deeper in his word. A fire has started in me and I want that to grow and I want others around me to also burn with the same hunger that I have for Jesus. This school is not just teaching the students to tell stories but to really experience it just as it was told after Jesus went to heaven.

I am filled and my cup is overflowing with his word and I want to be able to pour out to others who are feeling dry and fill them up also.

During the 3 months I joined my self with a local church and it just gave me hope for the people of Himachal Pradesh, I know that the Lord is not done with me here and he is going to start working in the lives of the villagers and the children that I work with.These people are really hungry and I know that I have the living word in me.

THE LOCAL CHURCH LEADER & HIS FAMILY.

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

How you can be praying for me:

1. Pray that God will help me keep this fire burning for him.
2. Please pray that God will send in more workers to this northern region.
3. Please pray that all the 22 students that have attended this school will carry out these living stories to there own home towns & where ever God leads us.
4. Please pray as I head back to the village in Dharamshall God will give me wisdom and lead me as he wishes.

THANK YOU.


 

THE NEW START.

Greetings from North India,

I want to thank God for how he has been using me this past month in helping out these villagers and kids.

I got a chance to share the love of Jesus with a very hard-heartened family this past month. This family has been going through so many struggles and they have been offering pooja and sacrifices so much this past month. First, their son went through and a bear in the jungle attacked operation then his dad, then slowly others also started getting sick, just so many other broken relationships, and just a broken family.

FAMILY THAT I HAVE BEEN HELPING.

I thank God for opening their hearts to the least to just listen to what I had to share.

Our youth group has been growing and we have been able to help a lot in the village with the entire road development project.

We also had a one-day seminar for our youth group; it was fantastic the people had a blast. We had four sessions we started at 9:00 am and ended the gathering at 5:00pm. We had a time learning and helping each other to understand how we are very special and we are unique and how each and every one of us have something special to offer to the world.

AT THE YOUTH SEMINAR

We helped them in finding out what are their dream and that without having a vision it as if we are living for no good at all.

We were 26 in total at this one-day seminar, we spent the whole day together, and it was a very blessed time for all of us.

THE GUYS AT THE SEMINAR

We also had the privilege in helping the villagers in building toilets for them. At the same time listening to their hearts and praying for them.

Our Easter celebration was blessed time also. We showed the JESUS movie from a Childs point of view, the kids were glad that they have to see the life of JESUS through a movie and after the movie; they all shared what they learned or observed from the movie. Their faith in JESUS is growing day by day.

We also had a graduation celebration for one of our students at our tuition centre. She had been with us from the past 6 years and she is going g to start her college life very soon. She is done with schooling and is moving forward in life. Please pray that she will stay strong in her faith and she will not fall into the temptations of this word.

TUITION CENTER

I will be leaving to attend a 3-month course in Manali. I will be leaving on the 17^th of this month to go to Manali for the {WORD BY HEART} school; I am looking forward in attending this school very much.

Here are some of my prayer points:

1.    Please pray for the family that I have been connecting and sharing the love of JESES with that they will know and understand that they need Him in their lives.

•   PLEASE pray for our youth guys and the one-day seminar that we just had. That they will bring out into practice whatever they have learnt from that gathering.

·                    Please pray for our tuition kids and the girl that is going to be starting a new life.

·                       Please pray, as I will be leaving to Manali for the school that I will have a wonderful time and I will be able to learn this new method of understanding and presenting the BIBLE.
