Update

Dear friends,

It has been some time since I have posted an update as to the happenings in India. I have been in regular contact with Adam. My dear friend and missionary to India, Dan, recently visited Dayspring Children's home He was givent he opportunity to preach at the Christmas service. He has reported back to me what a tremendous work is happening at Dayspring. He too desires to begin an orphanage in the area he is in as the need is great.

Please remember Adam in your prayers as many family members and some of the children have been suffering from various illnesses.

May the Lord bless you as you pray and support Dayspring.

Your brother,
Geoff

Severe Flooding in India

Dear friends,

Those who know of the news happening in India will know that there has been severe flooding in Andhra Pradesh. Many people have been killed and crops have been destroyed. This has created a desperate situation for many people, Christians and Hindus alike. Adam Sandipudi is in a position to help but only lacks the funds to do so.

For $25.00 we can provide a whole family with food, clothing, blankets, and a Bible in their language. Let's set a goal of trying to reach 100 families. Nothing is impossible for God.

Our family has given $50.00 so far. Please pray about how many families you may be able to help during this time. Adam will be taking pictures for me of the supplies, flooding, and famlies being helped. I will post them as soon as I have them.

In Christ,
Geoff

Prayer request

It is time for my work with Dayspring Children's Home to taken two steps, the Lord willing.

1. To establish either through my local Church or other ways, the ability for US based giving to happen in the United States through a non-profit organization. Right now we give directly to Dayspring via Western Union. Since a church is typically a 501c3 corp. monies could be recieved there and forwarded, or this ministry establishes a new 501c3 and establishes a board of trustees.

2. I really need to go and visit India. I have been supporting this work for over 3 years and it is time for me to go. I would especially like a small team to go with, at least one or two. Please pray about this.

Missionary Work

Adam reports concerning the missionary work this last week was a tremendous work. He has counted some 200 souls recieving the Lord Jesus as savior. Adam and many of the pastors/gospel workers will spend the next several weeks and months in follow-up with each one of them.

Pray that their commitment to the Lord Jesus will remain strong and each one will find a local church to join. Some of the people have no Christian church in their village. Please pray the Lord of the harvest will raise up laborers to go work in the harvest for His glory.

I should have pictures of this time in the next several days.

Update

Praise the Lord. Permission was granted for the public preaching of the Gospel by an American missionary who will be arriving at Dayspring this weekend. They have full permissions, venue, loud speaker, et. This is a great blessing and many will come out to hear the Gospel preached.

Also, there has been recent storms and flooding that have destroyed some pastor's houses and belongings. They came to Dayspring for help but Adam did not have much in hand to give. Please pray the Lord will provide for the many needs of the pastors orphans and widows.
