Your Personal Update from the Mission Field

Greetings in the name of our precious Lord Jesus Christ.

Here the news is saying that the third wave of COVID-19

will attack children. How it is there in Canada? Please pray for

the benefi ciaries in the ministry. We are regularly praying for

you. Please take all precautions.

Here we have conducted a free vaccination drive for our

benefi ciaries and volunteers in the ministry. We paid the vac-

cination cost for the fi rst dose. Now we (Pradeep and myself)

are planning for the second dose on behalf of our ministry. It is

also a free vaccination drive for the poor and most needy. I have

taken two doses of vaccine by the grace of God.

One of pastoral team Pastor Isac died on June 21 from CO-

VID-19. Please pray for his family.

Our ministry has this pastoral team:

1. Pastor Paul: still he is working with our ministry.

2. Pastor Abraham: still he is with us.

3. Pastor Yakobu: still he is with us.

Pastor Joseph died in the last year due to a heart attack.

We successfully distributed rice, dal, wheat, cooking oil,

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NATIONS™onions, bathing soap and detergent to leprosy victims, HIV

patients and widows on July 17.

We appointed a new resident pastor appointed on July 17.

His name is Pastor Joshi Matlapudi, age 45. He has a wife and

two sons. He has been working as pastor for 15 years. His two

sons are studying for degrees. On July 17 he took a part in the

distribution program to AIDS patients and widows.

God Bless.

In HIM,

• Pray for God’s blessing on and provision for PMI’s planned prison ministry to women and children.

The long-term goal is to build a night shelter for homeless widows and a hospice for HIV patients. Please pray about this project (620PMI-

01-3). Intercede prayer partners recently have provided $4,500 for this project.

• Pray for provision for tailoring classes, which aim to provide marketable skills to both women and older teenage girls who have had to drop out of school due to poverty.
