This last Sunday the family in the photo had a sad thing happen while they were at the church. One of the walls in their home collapsed, the wall behind them. Brother Hanock is wearing the white clothes, and he was leading the service only about a block away when it happened. The tall man in the photo, Kalyan, the Dad of the 2 children, was in an auto rickshaw accident about 2 years ago or less (his wife and mother are also in the photo). Kalyan was mostly bedridden for a year or more, injuries on his hip and leg. For the last few months he's slowly started walking again. His whole family was Hindu, but since the accident Bro. Hanock has been ministering to the family and now they are attending the church regularly. Perhaps because of a lack of money, the house was already in a weakened condition, the walls having cracks in them. It has also been the rainy season, and heavy rains (and lack of proper drainage) had caused water to be sitting around the base of their home for many days. That also contributed to the collapse. Now they are in a rent house until they can find a solution to repairing their home. Pray for the repair of their home, and pray for their salvation (if they don't yet know him as their Savior and Lord). We don't yet know the repair costs. If it was just one wall, it might be around $500, but now there are more cracks, walls and flooring which need repairing.
