Bibles in Telugu
Telugu is the main language spoken by the people and gospel workers in S. India where Dayspring is. There is always a need for Bibles. Both the gospel workers/pastors need them and families need them. For us they are only $8.00 but this is a big amount for these poorer families who struggle just to feed themselves. I am going to be working on getting approx 125 Bibles for needy pastors and families. Please pray that we will be able to accomplish this mission for the people of S. India.

Clean water for the children
Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." John 4:13-14
Here we see a new water purification system installed in the orphanage provided clean drinking and cooking water for all there as well as many poor neighbors coming to get clean water. Previously the children and workers were getting sick due to water contamination. What a wonderful way to display the mercy of the Lord to these wonderful children, men, and women. More importantly, Adam and the gospel workers labor tirelessly in their prayers and ministry of the Word of God to the people so that these may obtain that everlasting water that nourishes their souls and endures to everlasting life. They themselves may become fountains of water springing up and refreshing many into everlasting life. Jesus said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified." John 7: 37-39.
Jesus, the Son of God, has been crucified, buried, and risen from the dead. He is now glorified and has sat down at the right hand of the Father. He has given the Holy Spirit beginning at Pentecost (Acts 2) and gives the Holy Spirit now to all who call upon His name. If you have never called on the Lord, won't you do that today? We all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory and stand in great need of the forgiveness of our sins and the renewing and refreshing from on High. Call upon the name of Jesus who alone is mighty to save and He will wash away your sins with His blood and give the Holy Spirit who renews and regenerates us making us into a whole new creation in Him.

Long lost blog
This blog had its last post in 2016! While I have remained in contact with the work in India, I have not updated this page in almost 3 years. :( I will be working on making that change both this blog as well as to one or both of the others I have used, the Lord willing!
