CHURCH PLANTING & EVANGELISM Jebaraj, South India Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I really thank God for His Guidance, Provision and Grace. He answering our prayers and doing great things through you in our church and our planting ministry. I want to thank all of my prayer partners and supporters. These stories are “our” stories as we partner together through love, prayer, support, and gifts. TWO PEOPLE PROCLAIM FAITH THROUGH BAPTISM: This past month, we went to a Sister’s house in a village I will call ABPI to conduct house prayer. There were eighteen people gathered. I shared the word of God, John.4:14, “But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up within him unto eternal life.” I explained that how Jesus saved and blessed that Samaritan women and through her, how numerous Samaritans of the town believed Jesus. In our culture, people can easily understand this passage situation. God convicted listeners heart. Two people were intently watching and listening and they made a big step to proclaim Jesus into their life by taking baptism. They understood this being baptized into Christ. This means they were being baptized out of something. This is a good point to always make. EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KARMA AND ACCIDENT: We went as a team to a village I will call EHPI to visit the new comer’s houses. The church is doing so great we needed to visit two new houses. The first household included the husband, his wife, two children. The husband is working carpenter. Recently his son (14yrs) was in...

She lost her right leg in the accident on 2010. LTA works farming, planting, and harvesting rice. Because LTA is cripple and suffers like many who do not have money. Every place LTA plants rice, the people in the village say it will not grow and she is heartbroken. They tell her that she is wasting her time, energy, and money. The villagers promised her that during harvest time that she will gain nothing and stay poor. She shard these stories with my wife and I. We began to pray with her. Then God give us a verse: “And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him.” (Ge 26:12) Hepsibah and I began to declare this verse for Latha daily.
