School of Evangelism and Pioneering Muthu, Kavitha, and Family – Home Page YWAM, South India Thank you all for your prayers and sacrificial giving! With your help, we were able to bless over 510,000 visually challenged, homeless, transgender, tribal, slum dwellers, widows, migrant workers, orphans, HIV/Aids patients, and many others with the mercy and kindness of Christ. See the Covid-19 Relief Work Report located below for all the details. The Lord has blessed us with a new ambulance so we can transport patients. It has been such a blessing as we have transported over 300 people so far. We had a prayerful dedication service for our ambulance service on January 10. Our wound care ministry among the homeless is going well and it always opens the hearts of the people. Many are helping many find hope and healing through mercy and the Gospel. Our food distribution happens in so many different areas. We were able to give groceries to some families who literally stay on the road near the cancer hospital as they are undergoing cancer treatments. We continue to provide lunch to the homeless people. We have been able to help many families start small businesses. Overall, we have helped 65 businesses start. Praise the Lord! The type of businesses range from people working with pigs, goats, cows, and others are working in food businesses. This enables the families to generate income during these difficult economic times. We are especially happy that we were able to open a small restaurant to generate jobs and income for kingdom work. Thus far we have helped over 40 families start new businesses....

Rescue and Restore Ministry Freddy & Daisy, India - HOME PAGE Restoration House, Evangelism, Church Planting, Street Ministry, Slum Ministries The Corona virus has kept us in various stages of lockdown during the past year. We are doing well by the grace of God. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. During this challenging time we have been able to bless the people who live on the street, slums, and the gypsies. We were able to distribute needed food and rice with the help of some wonderful local volunteers. We are praying to be able to start a day care program among the gypsy children. The children do not go to school because of the way they look. Pu*** is a young woman who is in the twelfth grade. She lives in the slums with her family. She recently had a fever and had not felt well for several days. We were able to get her to the hospital for treatment. Her dream is to become a nurse and help bring her family out of the slums. We are eager to help her with her dreams. As many of you know, we have been working with Street Kids who primarily live at the train station for many years. A year ago, God provided us with a parcel of land and He has enabled us to build a Rescue & Restore Home for our precious street children. God really blessed us and gave us strength to trust Him for each and everything. We have almost finished the first building. In December 2020, we did a land breaking for our...

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Corona infection rate has started to increase again in our state since July 30. Shopping malls and some businesses in the main areas of C* city have been ordered to close until August 9th. If it increases, further curfews will be imposed across the state. Please keep us in your prayers. I have been doing outdoor activities in the church planting ministries. God gave us this wonderful opportunity for ministry. The last fifteen days, I have been wandering around my church planting area by bike. After three and a half months of curfew days, I have visited all the people with some other believers accompanying me for a big discipleship and planning meeting. By the abundant grace of God, I am conducting and preaching the discipleship classes for adults in three villages. We regularly have 12-15 people in attendance. I am very happy to continue in these villages. Please pray for these useful gatherings. During the curfew days, I was sharing the gospel and leading people in prayer by conference phone call prayers. Through this effort, 16 people showed interest to attend the village local evening house prayers and Sunday common worship. I am trying to meet each one in person in their homes. So far I have been able to reach out to nine of them during the last two weeks. I will continue to try to reach all of them. Some of the people have gone to other towns searching for new jobs. I will try to meet with their families to support them. After reopening our...

CHURCH PLANTING & EVANGELISM Jebaraj, South India During this pandemic period, in my church planting area, people are suffering greatly. Our Government can’t hear all the needs much less meet them. Very sad days ahead. People are feeling bad and deep depression. During this lockdown, we believe God is guiding us to help the fatherless, elderly, and widows who are in very poor condition. This morning, I went by bike to a local wholesale provision store to purchase vegetables and other staples to distribute to people. From the early morning, there were many many people standing in the social distance queue waiting to get into the store. After 1.5 hours of waiting in line, I was finally able to enter. And then it took much longer to get out. Using motorcycles, because cars and trucks are prohibited, we drove to areas of villages to distribute food. By the grace of Jesus, we met several people and many of them expressed their sighs of relief. Glory to God. As we distributed food to people, many street children came humbly requesting food and basic nutrition. The need is so very great. Please Pray for our area. Our God is a God of fatherless and widows… By God’s grace we will continue to help those who are needy and poor in our villages. Thank you for all your prayers and support!
