Seasonal Greetings

Before I left North India, I had the privilege in helping out with a Hindu wedding of some friends of mine, which took place on the 5th of December.

Village Wedding

I was happy to come home for the awesome Christmas Carnival and help my brothers and sisters. It was a wonderful way that God used us to bless the kids and the people that came.

I was also glad to see my family because I had been away for 7 months. We had a wonderful Christmas celebration - it was a blast! I was also delighted to see our new puppy Beezus; she is so cute!

It was a very blessed and a refreshing time for me.
 Another highlight for this past month was the first ever Sons & Daughters retreat.

Sons & Daughters Group

It was very impactful for me. Jonathan Uncle and Amy Aunty who joined us for Christmas also helped lead us for the retreat. It was a fascinating time. I was blessed beyond my imagination both spiritually and physically. During this retreat, God really softened my heart. We had so many great teachings. The highlight of the retreat for me was the teaching that we had with Jonathan Uncle of how we need to remain aligned with body, mind, and spirit. We also had so much good food, hot showers, and comfortable beds. It was sooooooo excellent!
I have had a wonderful and a blessed time with my family, friends, and my loved ones over this vacation.

I will be heading back to North India very soon; it is going to be a huge change for me in many ways. I will go back to cold weather, a busy life style of serving others and the absence of my family.

Beautiful North Indian View

However, I am very excited to be going back to my ministry life style.

            A few ways you can pray for me are:

 

• Please pray as I head back to North India, that I will remain steadfast in Him.
• This upcoming year I really want to make better and wise choices.
•  Please pray that I would put into practise the things I have learnt during this season.

 In Christ,
Sridhar

End Of The Year Update

Sons&Daughters retreat participants

I was really happy to come home for this first ever Sons & Daughters retreat. Prior to coming back for the retreat and the Christmas celebration, I was in a season where I was not able to give my all. I want to thank God for the time that I got to spend with my brothers and my loved ones.  It was wonderful and very encouraging to listen to what the other brothers are doing and how God is faithful to all of us.

After the retreat, I am refreshed and feel ready for this upcoming season. I know this upcoming season is not going to be easy. Please pray that I will stand strong and be able to put into practice what I have learned.

I had an amazing time during this retreat; it was such a blessing to me. God really softened my heart over this time and has filled me up with his love.

Ø  Please pray that God will keep the fire burning in me that I would help expand his kingdom

Ø  Please pray that I would have the same kind of joy I have when I am with my family and loved ones when I am ministering in North India. 

In Christ,
Sridhar
