- Pastor Y Benjibab from India writes:
- Most Beloved in Christ, Loving greetings in Jesus wonderful
name. I am Pastor Y Benjibab from India. I have been inspired
to send this testimony for your kind information and prayers
and partnership. This may consume some of your precious time.
Please try to read it at your leisure time. Your partnership
is very much needed in this pioneering work. I received this
word a few days ago and it is certainly A call to pray for India.
India will also be a key nation For the Jews to return and there
is a great, great Harvest Waiting to be brought in, so it is
very important.
Concerning the dream below with the computers coming on land,
Lets pray for a miracle, that as much as possible of this Garbage
floating to India will be drowned/swallowed by The sea and going
into the bottom less pit before it arrives In India...and May
the Lord give a double portion of grace And wisdom how to use
the time they have right now! I had a dream, whilst staying in
Andhra Pradesh. I was looking At a large map of India and noticed
what appeared to be books and computers floating toward the country,
across the ocean. I noticed a strong line of angels standing
arm to arm along the coast line, waiting. As the books and computers
came ashore, they lowered the front end, like a landing craft,
and demons poure forth onto the land.
The entire coast line was being swarmed by them. At that moment,
the Angel of the Lord from Andhra Pradesh came to me. He turned
and spoke with me, saying, "This is the invasion of Islam,
and it shall come by book, library, computer and internet. Teaching,
money, transfers". He warned me that we would face increasing
persecution during the next few trips.
Yang Tuck Yoong - Ps of Cornerstone Community, Singapore I
see strong opposition rising up in India, I see bloodshed for
missionaries. Members of your team (Storm Harvest) will be beaten
with rods, and experience persecution like Paul. There is a song,
which came before the Revival. "Don't cry for me Argentina",
there was much persecution, and then there was revival. Robert
I Holmes.
During my time in India (March 5-15) the Lord said to us,
"Prepare yourself, gird up your loins. Prepare the people
for they must hear My Voice for themselves. Stop relying on foreign
thoughts, alien ways, and first world missions.
There is now beginning a ten year window of increasing persecution,
regardless of who is in government. The church will see martyrs
for Christ, others will face persecution."
This is the year of the prodigal. The smoke of celebration
will be seen from the rooftops as families rejoice from answered
prayer. Those that have committed their hearts to evangelism
will be rewarded exceedingly and abundantly more than they can
ask or think. I will now give them the fruit of all their labors
says the Lord of Harvest.
Ministries that have aligned themselves with My heart and
have not forgotten the widows and orphans will reap the greater
blessing in this hour. I will expand their borders and strengthen
their tent stakes and the blessings of the Lord shall overtake
them. I have reserved the best seat in My house for the outcast
and off scouring of this present world.
Many in this hour will be taken to a lower seat as I promote
the poor and destitute into a position of honor. Those that
have humbled themselves under My mighty hand will now be exalted.
Many that have laid claim to destinies and anointing that are
not their own will relinquish them now to the simple and just.
These humble servants returning from the fields of famine
will find a signet ring of My authority and a robe of My glory
that will carry them to the uttermost parts of the earth. I will
give the heathen as their inheritance and the nations as their
possession.
Watch and see if it isn't so. most of the old and elderly
people are not convinced about my preaching. As I am a good singer,
with my singing talents, I use to win the hearts of youth. In
the beginning of my work, many people abused me and threatened
me to kill. But I never gave any head to Evangelist Simon Writes:
- I praise the lord for His wonderful helping hand rested upon
this work in India.
Lord led me to many new places where the word of God is not
being preached so far. Many number of villages never heard the
name of the Lord Jesus. There are lot of places where there is
no church and a Pastor. Lord led me to one place called SOMALINGAPURAM
which is 40 Kilometers away from my staying. Very often I am
reaching this needy village with the word of God during night
times.
When I started preaching the word of God, many youth and the
elderly people objected my preaching. They told me not to talk
about any God as we do not believe in any God expect our ancient
deities. But I never gave up preaching and visiting this village.
In fact this is a very big village with lot of children and youth.
As I am preaching the reaching the houses, few people came to
Lord and accepted Him as their personal savior. These people
stood on my side to support my work in this village. They received
me into their home and start feeding as and when I visit this
village. This way, I gathered lot of friends in this village.
God sustained me in all these threatening. Praise the Lord.
Now all the Mission workers are gathering in this village during
nights to show some play lets to introduce the lord in an elaborate
manner.
We have been distributing the Christian literature and bibles
to the needy people. Mission workers and we all Pastors are gathering
during nighttime to preach the gospel. If the Lord gives us the
Projector with power point, we will present the film on Jesus
to many villagers. We are expecting that the lord would grant
this equipment for our pioneering work in this region.
THE STARTING OF THE GOSPEL MISSION IN THIS VILLAGE: A man
by name KRISHNA a farmer in the village came to know that the
prayers offered by the Christian will heal his son from the chronic
disease. He took his son to the Pastor for prayers. After many
prayers, the man left the village to his own. After few days
of gap, the boy was start moving without having any sickness
in his body. Immediately the man sent a word to the Pastor to
visit his village. Simon visited the village, prayed together
and shared the word of God. The entire family accepted the lord
as their personal savior. Now they are getting ready to be baptized
in our Haven Home campus. Praise the Lord. This news has been
spreader all over the villages.
Now people are start gathering in this SOMALINGAPURAM village
for prayers. Simon has started the Sunday worship and Friday
fasting prayers. God is moving in the lives of these villages.
Now 10 families are attending the prayer meetings and many more
are showing interest in this faith. As the people are gathering
large number, they find it difficult to gather in a small house.
How the village elder KRISHNA donated piece of land for us to
construct a small thatched prayer hall. We have visited this
place and prayed for the new piece of land. Kindly pray for the
thatched shed to come out in this place to accommodate the believers
to gather together to worship the name of the Lord. Simon reached
many number of people during the past few months. The following
villages have been visited and revisited with the word of God.
1. SOMALINGAPURAM, KORLAM, SIRILIPETA, PORALI, KOTHAKARRA,
RAMAVALASA, MARRIVALASA, VIZIANAGARAM, First week: I visited
1130 people, IInd week 1440 people, IIIrd week 1260 people and
Ivth week 1200 people were visited. This way the work is progressing
day by day. A total number of 5030 people heard the gospel directly
from me during the past months. Please pray for this work.
THE NEEDS: I am in need of a BICYCLE for my travel. A Thatched
Prayer hall for the Somalingapuram village. A Petromax light
to use in the night times. Please pray that the lord may bless
this work not only in this village, there are lot more villages
where the name of the Lord is known to any. We thank you for
being with us supporting us on monthly basis. Thanking you,
Pastor Simon. KENGUVA VILLAGE: Field worker James Raju informs
that: - The lord is so good and graceful towards my family and
to the work during these months. Lord led us all into deeper
fellowship and we could bring many more souls into the kingdom
of God. 20 people received lord as their personal savior and
all of them witnessed the lord in the water baptism.
The church is being increased in its number daily in spite
of several objections from the Hindu fanatics. During the month
of June 2005, we conducted an open-air crusade in this village
where 300 people attended to hear our songs and see some play
lets. While we were doing some drama in the village, some youth
entered into our drama, tried to destroy the atmosphere. They
danced along with us also they dragged some women into their
midst. It was so horrible to see that the youth were unruly at
that moment. However, we horridly closed the meeting in order
to disburse the people. We felt the experience of Sodom and Gomorrah
atmosphere. However, the Lord saved us from such bad situation.
HEALING OF AID’S PATIENT: A man named Appala Naidu was
suffering from chronic disease which was not know to many till
he underwent blood test and HIV tests. Doctors found that the
man is suffering for aids. His wife also was suffering from the
same disease. He was at the verge of death and many people discarded
his family from the social customs. One day we visited this man
while preaching the visiting the homes. They narrated their pathetic
conditions. We all laid our hands and prayed for this man and
his wife. Now this man is still alive and recovering from his
dreaded diseases. Praise the Lord. This news has been like a
wild fire covered entire region. Many people surprised at this
case and glorified the name of the lord. This situation we used
to spread the gospel with more intensity. He is now getting
ready to be baptized from our mission center.
RACHEL: An old lady of 56 years old was suffering form severe
heart attack. During the whole night prayer, she had a heart
attack and she could cry loudly with the unbearable pain in her
heart. We all laid our hands and prayed for that lady. She could
able to sustain from this attack. Doctors said, that is the first
attack. Now she is recovering thro only prayers. As she lives
in a village, the modern medical facilities are very remote;
hence her faith was upon the lord alone for His divine help.
PERCEY: My second daughter was suffered from the Pneumonia
and skin allergy during the first week of July 2005. We found
that her body is swollen during the night with high temperature.
As we are away from the medical aid in the village, which is
50 kilometers away from Vizianagaram city, we prayed with much
tears that the lord might heal my daughter. On the morning I
took my daughter to Pastor Benjibab and Krupa who helped with
money to admit the daughter in the nearby Hospital. Now the girls
is recovering from her sickness and Pneumonia. We thank you all
for your kindly help extended thro our mission in these circumstances.
THE PLACES WE Visited: My wife and self are dedicated our
lives to work for the Lord all thro the days of our lives. We
praise the Lord since you gave us the 2 wheeler, which is helping
us lot in reaching many unreached places and helping us to reach
our remote area during night times without having any problem.
We are praying for Rev. Donald & Hilary Latham for their
financial support extended to purchase this vehicle. We are so
much thankful for the Lord who stirred the hearts of these beloved
mentors. The following places have been visited during these
months with the word of God.
PEDAKADA: We visited this village where many little children
are suffering from Malaria and diarrhea. Due to the rains in
this region, the epidemics erupted and many little children are
being suffered lot. We prayed for all these children and most
of them were healed instantly. Praise the Lord. A Sunday school
boy by name BALA was suffering from fits. He was at the dangerous
position and the doctors declared that this boy would die. But
we prayed very fervently and the Lord touched the boy. Now he
is recovering from his sickness. Praise the Lord.
BHUPALARAJAPURAM: A man named Naresh was suffering from earache
and head ache. He visited several places where the treatment
is available. But no avail. We prayed for this man that has been
healed instantly in the name of Lord. Praise the Lord.
TETTANGI: A lady called MARTHA was suffering from severe fever
since several days. As we were visiting houses, we happened to
stop at this house. She urged us to go inside the house. She
was not in a position to sit with us. After sharing the word
of God, we prayed for her by applying Oil as per the word of
God. Now she is doing better. Praise the lord.

Prayer Request: Please pray for the souls to be won in large
quantities in village level A Temporary Prayer shed to be erected
at the village called GARIKIVALASA where we procured 15 percents
of land for the mission work.
Pastor P.S. Prakasha Rao from Sarika Village informs:
I thank the Lord for His wonderful protection rested upon
my family and me during my travel in these months. Though the
circumstances are not much favorable, still then I decided to
go with the people in preaching the bringing the souls unto the
kingdom of God. There was lot of problems inside the home and
outside the home.
My children education is one of the factors, which hampers
my work for the Lord. Due to financial problems and lack of proper
support, I was discouraged in the mission work. However, the
Lord inspires me and supplies all of my needs as and when I fast
and pray. I have visited several villages in this month.
A man called SRINIVASA RAO is the main opponent in the Gospel
work in my village. He was a motorbike accident victim and was
not in a position to walk are move freely without the help of
others. He used to instigate the youth and women not to hear
the word while I was preaching in the center of the village.
I prayed for him very much with fasting. His agony and pains
were increasing day-by-day thereby he could understood that he
was going against the will of God. He sent me a word one day
to come and speak with him. I visited him and shared the love
and compassion of Lord to him. He was melted in his heart and
surrendered his life to the will of God. Praise the lord. Now
he is a strong believer who is getting ready to be baptized in
the waters.
Now many youth are coming to attend the weekly prayer meetings.
We are expecting great harvest in the days to come in this village.
Also many villages are under the clutches of Satan. People are
busy with Dogmas and cults. The Hinduism is penetrated in the
blood of the people. We need to eradicate this evil from the
village level. In towns and cities, people who migrated are accepting
the lord but in villages are main root we need to deal with such
people. Hence we are more concentrated in village evangelism.
The following village has been visited with the word of God
during the month: NAGOJIPETA, INDIRANAGAR, VT AGRAHARAM, CONTONMENT
ARE, BC COLONY, KOTTURU, GUNDALAPETA, RELLIVALASA, AMBATIVALASA,
KORUKONDA, REDDYPALLI, BUCHANNAKONERU, NELLIMARLA, KENGUVA, PORLA,
GUDEM FOR THE MEETINGS ETC., VISAKHAPATNAM, KAKINADA. Total number
of 15,600 people heard about the Lord Jesus Christ during the
month. Please pray for the harvest of souls. Lord used me in
extensive manner in bringing the souls for the kingdom. Please
pray that I may be more encouraged to carry this glorious gospel
to many who never heard and reluctant to receive the Lord as
their personal savior.
PRAYER POINTS: Kindly pray for the expansion His kingdom in
this heathen country A boundary wall around the church premises
is needed as snakes and other dangerous animals are entering
during the night times. As you know we are 3 kilometers away
from the village. This boundary wall is necessary for our safety.
We are planning to do some medical camps as many more children
are suffering from fever, diarreoha etc.
Pasot John Paul from Porli Village writes:
I thank God for the strength and support, which extended to
me thro the Gospel of kingdom Associates to carry the mission
with dedication. We thank you for all your encouraging letters
and financial support extended my family to feed on the mission
fields. During this month, we have conducted number of prayer
meetings, crusades, village level open-air meetings and house
visiting to encourage the believers in their distress and sickness.
As a team we visited several places in preaching and singing
the songs to present this glorious gospel of Lord Jesus Christ.
In fact there were lot of hindrances in our gospel presentation
to the people, as most of the villagers are not interested in
hearing about the Lord. But this gospel is only having access
thro the miracles and healings in the village level.
The Lord is confirming His word through miracles and healings
in the lives of the people. God is moving changing the hearts
of the people while we are presenting the gospel. During this
month we have covered the following villages with the word of
God. GOBYAM: Rajeti Appa Rao was suffering from sickness. He
invited us to have prayers for his healing. We arranged a meeting
in His home. Many neighbors also gathered to hear the songs and
message. It was a nice time to share the lord of God to these
heathen. At the end of the meetings, we gave the alter call in
which 30 people responded.
We touched Apprao with oil. Now he is recovering from his
sickness. Praise the Lord. On the next day I visited PORLI walked
around the village in singing, and praising the name of the lord.
600 people heard about the lord in that day. Then I visited MUDIDAM
where 450 people heard and received the Christian literature.
It was a good day for me as many of the villagers are so happy
about the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The place called GUCHIMI
also visited. It was a busy month as we have several outreaches
within these villages. 650 people heard about the Lord Jesus
Christ. Out of them, few youth and agricultural laborers came
forward to give their heart to the Lord. Praise the Lord. I prayed
for several sick people. God touched most of them. Praise the
Lord.
Then on the next week I visited one place called MANAPURAM
which is a big village and also a town for the surrounding villages.
I walked around the village along with my wife and church believers.
We made a praise march for the souls to be delivered from the
clutches of Satan. It was a good time of refreshment. We feel
pleasure every time when we are involved in this gospel business.
Also the following villages have been visited with the word of
God. MARRIVALASA, GATHADA, CHIKADA, KANNAM, MAJJIPETA, DATTI,
VALASA, KOTHAKARRA GARBHAM ETC.
Our mission has hired a thatched for me stay with the family
for 3 years. Due to some reasons, the owner of the house asked
us to vacate the house immediately. We vacated the house and
now we are living in this small thatched prayer hall. During
the rainy time, we are facing some problems along with our small
daughter of 10 months. We are asking you to kindly pray that
the lord may arrange a good sized thatched house for us to stay
nearby the prayer hall. The village people kindly donated a piece
of land in this village and many came forward to help with the
labor while constructing the shed. We need some money to erect
this thatched shed, which is very necessary for us. Please put
more prayer in this regard. We have visited 3150 people in the
first week of the month 4380 people in the second week 3995 during
the 3rd week 2150 during the 4th week. A total 13,675 people
were visited with the word of God and we prayed for many hundreds
of people while we were moving around the village.
Kindly pray for the following needs:
- 1. A thatched prayer hall for 100 people to accommodate
- 2. A Petromax light
-
- My wife and the church members conveying their fondest love
to you all. Thanking you,

- I Praise the lord for this great time to inform the activities
of our gospel work for your kind prayers. We could able to reach
as many as people we can during these months. We thank you for
your kind support extended thro the Gospel of Kingdom Associates.
-
- We faced lot of challenges during these months. The Hindu
fanatics are creating lot of problems in the village level to
curb the freedom of speech and religion. Once the so called friends
turned hostile to the work of the Lord. Every where the people
are going against the killing and destroying the churches in
villages.
-
- Few Pastors who were on the work of the lord were killed
in the city outskirts of Hyderabad. People are so arrogant and
not able to tolerate the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
- Government is not in a position to curb such atrocities done
on the minorities. Inspite of these problems, still the word
of God is prevailing in the lives of the people. We are so fortunate
to have such a wonderful word for our lives.
-
- We visited many streets and villages by carrying this word
of God. Many people tried to stone at us to destroy the meetings
during the nighttime. In one place called SARIPALLI, we started
procuring some place for constructing a church shed.
-
- Few people came willingly to donate a piece of land for the
Lord. But after some time, they were turned hostile to us and
chased us from the village abusing that we cannot establish any
prayer hall, as this is Hindu village. Please pray that the lord
may take care of these people.
-
- At once incident, our motorbike and the bibles were thrown
out of our hands to disburse the people from hearing the word
of God. Many youth are working against the Lord. We believe one
day they will come to know the lord as their personal savior.

preach the word of God. NELLIMARLA 5030, TOMPALAPETA 345, KOTHAPETA

- We built a House of prayer at this place. Previously there
were no Christians in this village. Now 34 families are coming
to worship the lord during Sundays and weekdays. The mission
work is going on well in this village. Many youth received the
lord as their personal savior. One Hindu devotee who was nearby
this prayer hall, accepted the lord and renounced all his Hindu
deities and performances. He was a poojari who assist in worship
the deities of this village. Such a man was won for the lord.
His family also accepted the lord and attending the prayers.
Many minorities are start coming to the Lord in these days. Though
there are some problems prevailing in this village, still the
lord made a way for the people at accept Him as their personal
savior.
-
- NELLIMARLA: We had 3 days fasting prayers in the local church.
We the entire church gathered together along with the Gospel
of Kingdom Mission workers working in various places for these

given from the word of God by Pastor Benjibab and Prasant Babu.
We have been once again challenged with the word of God to keep
up our integrity for the Lord.

Lord will grant this desire in His time.

- Maharajupeta: Pastor K. Jermiah writes:
-
- The lord is so good towards his work and family. We thank
you for your ever-ceasing monthly support extended thro the Gospel
of Kingdom Associates. This support helps us to maintain our
families on the mission field. The word is progressing day by
day. We have conducted number of crusades in village level, Taluka
level and district level. Many hundreds of people could know
about the love of lord Jesus Christ. We praise the lord since
we could able to baptize 26 people in our Gospel of Kingdom Campus.
Every month on the first week, we are gathering together to intercede
for various works, ministries and the world peace and the peace
of Jerusalem. The lord has infused a special burden towards the

- MODAVALASA: These people heard the gospel time and again.
This village is very near to our church. But none of them accepted
the lord as their personal savior. We found that there is one
man called SRINIVASARAO who is AIDs victim. He is a young man
of 36 years. His profession is MASONING. He uses to build houses
and bridges etc. He married and having 2 children. At one stage
it happened for him to go to a city called VISAKHAPATNAM on the
masonry work. He was away from his family for several months
as he is having good work at his hand in the city. In these circumstances,
he had come contact with a Telephone Book girl. He fell in love
with her and then he changed several girls. At one stage he abandoned
his wife and children. As his wife came to know all these major
misdemeanors, she left him to stay with her parents. Now this
man become so unruly and wanted to enjoy life with every woman
he happened to meet. Now he is suffering from aids. Doctors found
that he is already affected by this dreaded disease and is at
the very of the death. He was brought by his parents from the
city and he is now with his parents. Though the wife and children
left him, but his parents took every care to cure him. But there
is no avail. We happened to meet this man at a cattle grazing
shed. He was on his death cot. We stood there and preached the
word of God. We shared from the Book of New testament how the
blood issued women is touched the garment of Lord and got healed.
His faith was increased. He confessed all of his committed in
his youth. He confessed that he has done great crime against
his married wife and children. Now is duty to cry and tell to
the people not to indulge in just ruthless activities. He becomes
a wittiness of these dreaded diseases. We prayed for him and
asked him to attend the church. Now the man is getting recovery
day by day. We hope that he will be healed one day. Please pray
for this man. If this man survives, he would be a great witness
about the lord Jesus Christ.
-
- MAHARAJUPETA: We built a small thatched shed side by the
Highway. It is very good place which we want to acquire. We have
occupied it as it belongs to Government. Government is need to
issue orders to do further construction on it. But we need to
pay an amount of Rs.15, 000 Rupees to acquire this land. Due
to lack finances, we did not get this land. Please pray for this
urgent need. Already the shed, which the Gospel of Kingdom Associates
arranged, is over flowing with new souls. We need to expand it
soon to accommodate more souls in this house of prayer.
-
- RUTH: Ruth is my beloved wife who is suffering from chronic
sugar complaint and Blood pressure. I am spending lot of money
every month on her blood tests and pills for the sugar. It is
very costly affair, which I cannot bear any more. Now and then
the Mission is supporting with minimum medical bills. As the
funds are not available for the GK Associates, they discourage
to pay the bills. Please pray that the lord may heal her completely.
Because of her sickness, she is not in a position to accompany
with me in gospel outreaches. Praise the Lord for her life.
-
- SINGANABANDHA: This is another good mission field. This is
almost remote area where the Christian workers and missionaries
are rarely visited. We are visiting this place regularly to admonish
the people to believe in Lord Jesus Christ. We sang songs by
making praise march around this village. Many children joined
us in this praise march. Now few people are inspired to visit
us now and then to hear the songs and the stories from the Bible.
We have distributed bible portions to the villagers and some
youth are interested to attend for the prayers. Please pray for
this village. We have presented this Gospel to 4,210 people during
these months. Beside these gospel outreaches, we have number
of cottage meetings to encourage the newly converted believers.
-
- PRAYER POINTS:
- Please pray for the souls to be won in plenty A Church Building

- Kota Gandredu - Pastor John Kumar writes:
-
- I thank you for your kind prayers and encouragements and
financial support given from month to month. Because of your
kind support, we could able to carry this work in the mission
fields of our region. Lord led my wife and me to many new places
to present the word of God among the heathen of this region.
Most of my relatives who are heathen are now accepting the lord
as their personal savior. God is so kind towards my community
and me. Though there is lot of problems in the community, still
then, the Lord inspires me and sends me into the midst of the
people to present this glorious gospel. I have started the work
among these needy villages.
-
- 1. CHIPURUPALLI: This is a big village with several schools
and colleges and businesses center. One day I stood nearby the
Theater to testify the people who came to watch the movie. About
700 people heard about the lord after the movie was completed.
Praise the Lord. I encouraged the people to accept the lord and
refrain from all sorts of works against the living God. This
way I spent entire time in this village in discussing with the
people about the plan of salvation which the Lord Jesus Christ
arranged for the man kind.
-
- 2. REDDIPETA: This is also a needy place. Most of the
villagers are Hindus who never heard about the lord Jesus Christ.
I stood with all the people during the evening time. I sand several
songs and preached from the New Testament about the life of Jesus
Christ. I shared the message on Calvary how the lord laid His
life for the sake of mankind. Many shed tears by hearing the
great sacrifice on the mount Calvary. 10 people came forward
to receive the lord as their personal savior. About 456 people
attended for the night meeting.
-
- 3. VIJAYARAMAPURAM: I visited 320 houses to present the
word of God. I alone visited this area, as my wife was unwell
for some time. Also my little daughter was unwell due to the
claimatical conditions and fever. One person was suffering from
Aids since several months. Doctors sent him away to home to have
further rest. I visited this man, shared the love and power of
God. At the end he asked me to pray for his healing. I touched
him and prayed.We believe that the lord would heal him soon.
This way many people who are suffering from various diseases
and sicknesses came forward to have the healing prayers. Many
were healed from fevers instantly. Praise the Lord. One small
boy of 5 months in horrible condition. He was becoming thin day
by day. We all prayed for him and applied the oil for his healing.
Now he is recovering. Praise the Lord. The faith of the parents
has been elevated and they promised to attend our prayer meetings.
This way, the work of the lord is started in this village. Please
pray for the harvest of souls.
-
- 4. SIVARAM: I visited this village. The total number of 500
people are living in this village. I walked around the village
in singing and praise march. Many youth, children and women accompanied
me while I am praying for the people of this village. I visited
several fields where women folk are working. I shared the love
of Jesus. Many willingly had the prayers from me. I distributed
some bible portions to the people of this village. All school
children and the teachers gladly accepted the bible portions.
-
- 5. GURLA: This is a district Block. Several State Government
Officials are there in this village. I visited all the people
and offices to present the gospel literature. Though some people
are reluctant to receive the tract, still with much hesitation,
they took from me. I shared the gospel from the book of Luke
about the prodigal son. Many were impressed by the power of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

are living and most of them are farmers. There is a High school
in which 400 children are studying. I distributed tracts in the
regional language. Many were promised to read them for their
uneducated parents. I arranged a night prayer meeting at one
of the Christian sympathizer. Many people attended as this the
first time for all of them to sit in the presence of God. We
believe that in the days to come, we can have a church plantation
in this village.
-
- 7. GURUNAIDUPETA: These all are un reached villages. Though
the people are visiting these village now and then, but there
is no proper permanent Mission is established in these village.
We have decided to open a mission center as this is a big village.
We are praying for a church Hall in this village. Most of the
heathen are not willing to visit another’s house where the
prayer is taking place. Because of caste system, low and high
stauts., etc. people are not able to mingle with their neighbors.
In these circumstances, we are praying that the lord may grant
finances to do a big church here in this village. I arranged
a night meeting in this village and about 300 people attended
to hear the songs and message. We need to present the gospel
thro projectors and video. As I was traveling back to home I
visited several individuals on the way. I personally testified
about my testimony. I have no cycle to use in the village. Please
pray for a cycle to purchase for His work in this village.

and win souls for the kingdom of God. He also had several encounters
from the anti social elements. They threatened them not to enter
into their hideouts. Most of the times, they are suspecting teachers,
pastors and mission worker as police informers. It was a very
dangerous position for them to live in the village where the
Naxals are coming the nighttime to take shelter in the Churches
and in schools. If the shelter is not given, they will be taken
into task. In such a dangerous conditions the mission workers
are living. We need to pray for their protection. Their job is

one of the villages. Since then the right leg started to swell
and it become so heavy that she could not walk any more. She
was bedridden and at times she got collapsed. They we rushed
her to the nearby hospital at Guntur. Doctors treated her for

- Pastor Paramjyothi form Dondapudi writes: I thank
you all for your kind monthly support given to me from month
to month. It is helping lot in winning and reaching many more
Un reached places of this region of West Godavari District. As
you all know, our church is built in the tribal belt where many
anti social elements and naxals are visiting day in and day out.
Really our lives are in dangerous condition. Only the power of
the Lord is saving us from the eye of the enemy. Some times,
preaching is becoming very difficult as they are asking us not
to reach any morals from the bible to the tribal. They want to
keep the entire tribal as innocent people thereby they will continually
shelter them when they visit their villages. Now I want to narrate
an incident happened to me.
-
- Many people know that I am pastor for a community church.
I am a young man of 38 years. There are some people with same
features like me. The anti social elements visited my home during
the night, they called me out. Then they asked me to follow them.
They blind folded my eyes. They took me to so much distance.
They wanted to kill me mistakenly as they were thinking that
am a Police informer. But I pleaded and prayed. Lord heard the
prayers of my family and the church members. He changed the heart
of the naxals. They left me un harm during the early hours of
the day. It was a dreaded experience for me in that night. But
our God is so great and greatly to be praised for all His wondrous
works.
-
- I have presented this gospel to 17654 people during these
months. Every day there is a outreach camp along with our co
brothern in the mission fields. I am blessed by 2 sons and one
daughter. 2 sons are studying their 3 rd year and 4th yrear Degrees
in Mechanical and Telecommunication Engineering. Please pray
that the lord may supply money for their studies. Already, I
have borrowed lot of money for their studies. Further God has
to help me in this regard.
-
- PRAYER POINTS:
-
- Please pray for the safety of His servants on the mission
fields.
- Please pray for the financial support for the study of my
children in Engineering level.
- A Prayer hall needed as the work is increasing day by day.
-
- Bible Women: Now there are 6 Bible women in different
parts of this region. We are supporting them on monthly basis
to meet their traveling and family maintenance. They were with
great zeal for preaching and taking the word of god to bear by
villages. They all together presented this gospel to 2345 people
during these months. Bible women Esther is suffering from cardiac
ailment. She had a first stroke. Please pray that the lord may
spare her life.
-
- MARY SUVARNAMMA: She is a prayerful lady who prays for all
the missionaries, donors and the workers in the mission fields.
She conducts prayer meetings, women cell meetings etc. Because
of her ever ceasing prayers, many are being blessed. She prays
for you all. Your sacrificial gifts, donations are so esteemed
in the mission fields. Please do not hesitate to invest even
a single dollar in this work. This will bring blessings to
the team as well as to the giver.
-
- Kindly know that the funding base is very small at this
stage. We believe that we will be able to do more things and
do more constructions in the days to come when you all pray and
promote this small start. We esteem all your opinions, suggestions,
for the progress of His work in this nation. We had a great zeal
to conduct Pastors seminars on State wise, District wise, and
Block wise when you come and stay with us in the coming years.
Please do come along with your friends and relatives to have
good fellowship with your friends in the mission fields.
-
- We are now seeing great need to carry some life saving drugs
while we go to the villages where hundreds of old aged and children
are suffering from various ailments. This will really help us
to introduce ourselves to the new people. Kindly pray for this
need as this will help us to make friendship with the people
who hesitate to speak with us. We have visited the mission fields
during these months to find out the progress. The souls are being
added to every congregation and the ground level and village
level work is progressing. There are thousands of village where
there is no church and a Pastor. We have been burdened to plant
congregations in the days to come.
- Thanking you,
- For GOSPEL OF KINGDOM ASSOCIATES, (Y.KRUPA) PRESIDENT

Many eminent personalities
have added new dimensions of glory to Vizianagaram. The “Pusapatis”
of Vizianagaram, the “Ravus” of Bobbili, “Varicharlas”
of Kurupam, the “Satrucharlas” of Merangi and the
aristocrats of salur were all the exalted Luminaries and multi-facial
personalities. Their patronage of Art and Literature is highly
laudable. They had loved and invited the democratic spirit much
before the abolition of princely state by the Government Act
1948. The battle of Bobbili and the battle of Padmanabham are
unforgettable and make the area the land of pride and valour.
