This is what the LORD has done.........

Dearly beloved in Christ
Greetings in Jesus’ name.
I take this awesome opportunity to inform you that I am entering my twentieth year in the North Indian ministry. Before I begin I want to thank God who made me a servant of God; and I would like to say my profound gratitude from the depth of my heart to all who helped me to become what I am today.

Let me share my heart with you; the trials, tribulations and the abundant blessings…………

After completing my Diploma in Civil Engineering from Kerala, I arrived in New Delhi in 1987 in search of a job. The Lord blessed me with a good job in Airports Authority of India; but I had to resign the job after completing the mission.

Then I tried to get a job according to my qualification, but all I could manage was a job in a painting company as an Accountant. I dragged myself as an employee of the materialistic world till I acknowledged the calling of God through many revelations and divinations. In the year 1988 I quit my professional career and got submitted to the calling of God.

It was not a rosy beginning as a servant of God and I had to go through many difficult situations including lack of food, no place to stay, financial crisis etc… but the Lord took care of me in a wonderful way. I had to stay several nights at Nizamudin Railway Station because I couldn’t find a place to stay for no cost. There a God sent gentle man met me, heard my story and offered to help me. He picked me up and helped me to live in a small filthy room on the top floor of his house, where there was no electricity, drinking water, sanitation and no wash room. It was near to the garbage dumping place of the Indian railway and a mortuary where unclaimed dead bodies were kept. I have seen several suicide dead bodies on the railway tracks and cried out to the Lord. But the Lord asked me to stay put in my vision and guided me to start a fellowship there, and I stayed there three and a half years.

Within twenty days of my marriage to Alice we were sent by God to Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh to work with a church planting organization. There my wife gave birth to a baby boy under miserable condition. One day she felt intense labor pain and there was no one to give care to her as I was on the field. Eventually she delivered the baby in the house only. I came in the night and saw the heartrending scene. Along with the neighbors I boarded her on a cycle rickshaw and took her to the nearest hospital which was 14 kilometers away. In the process we lost our baby. My second daughter also died there. Those were times when we were tempted to question God’s doing but we dared not. We accepted his plans of refining us and moved on.

Let me conclude with what God has done in my life. He made me travel 22 states of India from Kashmir to Andhra Pradesh and seven foreign countries to share the good news; and plant a number of Churches. I could see the reality, culture, people groups, tribal and the unreached hundreds. I can hear the heart beat of the villages in India.

I thank you all for standing by me in my difficult times physically, financially and in prayers. Your prayer and support helped me to stay focused in my vision and commitment to the Lord. I Thank You All!! Thank You !!

I pray to God that gives me Knowledge, Wisdom and Strength to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ in India. My vision is to see India evangelized in my generation. I want to see a new heaven with full of Indians…..Punjabis, Jats, Marathis, Gujarathis, Pahadis, Biharis, Bengalis etc…. how beautiful it will be!!!!!!

May the Lord bless you and the sacrifices you made. The sacrifices you made will not go in vain and I believe that God will bless you with hundred folds. Pray for the Church planting activities, Missionaries and their families, Bible School and other Social projects.

My wife Alice and Children join me to say thank you for your kindness.
I look forward to meet you again with more good news. God bless you all. Amen.
