Then Jesus said to His host, "When you give a
luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or
relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back
and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the
poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed.
Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." Luke 12-14   Photos by Court Wood - India January 2009 - congregation of Brother L. V. Prasad |
When I was in India in January one of the churches we visited with our team members had several members who had suffered the effects of polio, were blind, or had suffered from leprosy. These photos are from that visit.
I cannot forget these people who have also placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They are our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. They are our family. Indeed the Lord lives in them by faith, just as He lives in you and in me.
With the Lord's help and strength I will be returning to India July 29 and returning on August 10. Sandy is hoping to come with me. We hope by our visit to encourage, and bring needed help to our family in Jesus Christ. If you are in a position to help our brothers and sisters, would you pray about coming with us to embrace them and encourage them in our Lord.
Sister Leyamma, seen below, is still in need of $6,000 help to finish her home and church. Her life work, and her husbands while he was still living, has had a great impact for this tribal area. With her limited strength and resources, Sister Leyamma has strengthened the tribal pastors, and bible women of this entire region. This is an urgent and strategic need for this ministry base for the widows and tribal pastors.
Our Sister Leyamma recently wrote:
Brother Court Sister Sandy.
I wanted to pour out my heart before
you with this mail.
I have been working in In Jesus' name long years. You are praying for me and encouraging me. I am very much thankful.
Many are asking me "when are you going to finish your home and church?" I am praying to the lord. and sharing my heart to GOD'S people that is
you my sister and brother. Please take part with my burden to finish the house. If
you encourage me I can do it.
I hold my hands and asking pray for help for the house.
Pray for me and for the widows who are staying with me. They convey love to you and to your family."
THANK
YOU. I LOVE YOU.
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.
WITH LOVE OF CHRIST.
SISTER LEYAMMA.

Giving under the New Covenant "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything." 1 John 3:16-20
