CHRISTMAS GREETINGSJesus Christ is the r e a s o n f o r t h i s beautiful season.  What a privilege to h a v e o n e m o r e Chr i s tmas !   Many millions who saw last Christmas will not see this one.  Life on earth can end so abruptly.

Each and every day is a g i f t a n d i t i s important to do something good to bring the pleasing aroma to the most high God who has sent us into this world. God sent His only begotten Son into this world to seek and save. Isaiah 9:6 says, “For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.” Phil 2:6-8 says, “(Jesus) who, being in very nature God; did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross!”

God incarnated in the human form because He loves us so much and His heart is longing for His people. Knowing this, the missionaries in India risk their lives among the radical Hindus to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost. Many millions of villagers in India have never heard of the first coming of Christ and so our dedicated missionaries continue sharing the love of Jesus amid hardships and persecution. Please remember these suffering missionaries during this precious Christmas season and may this Christmas be a special blessing to each of you.

Your brother in Christ,Vee

Missionary Immanuel (15MVN0523TN) and Wife

Born into a Hindu family, Immanuel and his sister were bound with an evil spell that caused much chaos in the family. After a missionary came to their home, sharing the gospel and praying for the two children, his parents accepted Jesus as their personal savior. Gradually, the two children became completely healed and the entire family became believers and attended church.

Eventually, God spoke to Immanuel calling him to ministry. People mocked him, made fun of him and forced him out of their homes when he would share the gospel. Immanuel, with the help of God, persisted and his faith remained strong. Many who once despised him are now attending the church he established where 45 believers regularly worship.

Immanuel's vision is to evangelize the forty nearby villages and plant churches in each of them. He faces many hardships and needs a sponsor to who will support him financially and in prayer

Thomas was only ten when he was proclaiming sacred oracles during Aaadi, the holy month of the Hindus. His family was very poor and when his father died, Thomas was sent to a Christian school where he learned Bible stories, verses and songs. When he was in 8th grade, he accepted Christ as his personal savior and soon after was baptized. As he came to know more about God's love and grace, he began living a holy and pleasing life in the sight of God.

He longed to do the work of the L o r d a n d accompanied his pastor in various m i n i s t r y activities. As he saw many lives t o u c h e d a n d transformed, he h a d a g r e a t desire to attend Bible College to l e a r n d e e p e r spiritual truths a n d t o e q u i p himself for God's ministry. God has spoken to him many times through Scripture and is using him mightily for the expansion of His kingdom. He has faced opposition and was even locked up in prison for a day. God has helped him through many tough circumstances and has given him victory over Satan and his evil plans. Currently, his wife assists him in his ministry and almost 30 people attend his Sunday services. His vision is to preach the gospel to the unreached people and to establish churches where there are none.

THOMAS DEVENDRENBhaviya and her sister, Dhivya, attend one of our CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS. Their father, R a j k u m a r , i s a n alcoholic who beats his wife and children mercilessly. Because he spends his money on alcohol, they do not have proper food or adequate clothing. B h a v i y a i s a l s o anemic and in need of medical attention. In addition to this, the family has incurred huge debts. They manage to barely survive with the little income provided by their grandmother.

At the center they are provided free tutoring and a meal each day. The two girls pray earnestly for God to deliver their father from the clutches of alcohol addiction, even though he has strictly forbidden them to pray. They are finding new hope and peace through Christ Jesus and Rajkumar is becoming less violent with them. They continue to pray for their father's deliverance from alcoholism. They pray for the family to be able to repay their debts and they pray for the healing of Bhaviya who is so weak and anemic. Your prayers for this family are needed.

BHAVIYA

Praying God's peace, joy, and love on each of you during this

joyous Christmas Season!
