"God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure." Hebrews 6:10-11
Sandy and I are so grateful for your love, prayers, and support these many years as we endeavor to be a voice for, and help, our family in Jesus Christ around the world. Your prayers this past month have been a particular strength in Christ. My wrist is healing well and I have only 11 more days before the second cast, and the pins are removed. I have been able to write with the help of a software program which has speech recognition, and does the typing for me. This has been a "light affliction" in comparison to what our brethren endure. Thank you again for your sustaining prayers and love, for us, and for the brethren we serve as the Lords, and your servants.
Following is one of the hundreds of letters and e-mails we receive each month from the pastors of the churches you enable us to help. This is evidence of the good fruit of the prayers and sacrificial love of our American brethren.
"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God." 2 Corinthians 9:12
Pastor S. Vijaya Kumar wrote:
"Dear beloved friends, and holy Saints in our Lord Jesus Christ. Heartfelt greetings to you.
Myself and my family members are daily praying for you, along with our church believers in our Sunday and Friday prayers.
Your previous generous support has given us strength in His service. Really it's a great help to us. Yours is the first ever support to us from abroad. Really it's a great help towards our congregation needs. All of our congregation people who are the recipients of your kind support convey their regards and gratitude to you in the Lord. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ has given you as our spiritual family by His blessings. Glory to the Lord.

Pastor S. Vijaya Kumar has only received two $50 gifts the past 14 months. Would you pray about helping him and his congregation on a monthly basis. It would be such a great blessing to them to receive this encouragement in Jesus Christ. Thank you so much.
"Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, as it is written: 'He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.'" 2 Corinthians 8:13-15
The "prosperity message" of our Lord Jesus Christ
(Treasure in Heaven)
Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:22-34
