October 3, 2012 My Dear Friends and partners, The monsoon, though started late, has been a blessing to the farmers in our state in India. We have been enjoying cool weather. However, the industries are hurting as they get power supply for only 3 days a week. Hundreds of them have been shut down. In fact, we do not get power for 4 hours a day in Hyderabad while Vijayawada doesn’t have it for 6 hours a day and very little in the villages. People, farmers, and industries are suffering. India is in desperate need of more power. Well, the Good News is that the God Whom we serve is still on throne touching and mending lives. Pastors’ Reports from July and August: Newly saved souls–298, Converts Baptized in water – 44, Believers filled with the Holy Spirit – 120, Open Air Meetings conducted – 122. The Gospel is forever the power of God unto salvation. Our pastors and church planters are going out into the villages to preach it in spite of opposition and persecution. A militant wing of a Hindu fundamentalist group called Bajarang Dal recently bombarded on one of our pastors and has been trying to shut down the church building we have built last year in a Hindu Community. Pastor. Manikyam called me a few times and I have prayed and encouraged him. Manikyam, Jogipet a reported: A demon-possessed young man decided to commit suicide but pastor. Manikyam noticed his condition and prayed for him. God in His Power delivered him and he became well. Praise the Lord!! Ravi Kishore Dasari, T andur: A believer had a lump in his shoulder, from which blood and bad liquids oozed. Doctor’s concluded that to be the sign of Cancer and suggested for immediate surgery.

My Dear Friends and partners,

The monsoon, though started late, has been a blessing to the farmers in our state in India. Wehave been enjoying cool weather. However, the industries are hurting as they get power supply foronly 3 days a week. Hundreds of them have been shut down. In fact, we do not get power for 4hours a day in Hyderabad while Vijayawada doesn’t have it for 6 hours a day and very little in thevillages. People, farmers, and industries are suffering.

Kotibabu, T.P.Gudem: An old woman had 2 big cysts in her stomach. The doctorsfelt it would be dangerous doing surgery considering her age and stamina. Atthat time the congregation and Pastor prayed for the old lady’s life. God helpedher to undergo the surgery and it was successful. She is now healthy and her lifeis extended by the grace of God. Halleluiah!!

Revival Sessions in September: We have gathered about 190 students from 3 of our BibleSchools at Vijayawada. Jonny Rodgers, the lead pastor of one of our faithful partnering churches,and the 3 Directors of our Bible Schools have ministered. Oh!! The Holy Spirit has moved in amysterious and powerful way that the young people were touched. Most of them, if not all of them,were weeping in God’s Presence. Several came to me saying that their lives would no more be thesame. One young man came to me with uncontrollable weeping and shaking to share with me thathe wanted to leave the Bible School after that 2-day meeting. He wanted to run away from Godand get a job as the ministry was too much for him. But the Holy Spirit has powerfully touched him.He said that he had accepted God’s Call and committed his life totally to the ministry.

Maranatha Children Home Ministry is impacting children & young people:

I am ever grateful to the Lord for depositing burden into my life for the orphan, poor, and needyboys and girls. I’ve learned long time back that a man who lives only for himself and his family isan unfortunate man ever lived on this planet. But the man who lives for God and his fellow menand women is a worthy man ever walked on the face of the earth. It is not what and how much we
