This is Brother Abraham and his small congregation in India. For several years this brother has been a pastor in a small city in Andhra Pradesh. He was conducting his services in a community hall free of cost, and had a good-size congregation. For the last year or more a radical Hindu man has been coming into the hall on Sundays and harassing the pastor and congregation. Finally, the man gathered 30 or more people from the surrounding area and forced the church to stop and locked the doors of the community hall.
After that the pastor was just meeting in his home, which is about 2 miles from where most of his congregation lives. Most of them are very poor with no transportation. RHM helped him by providing the rent money so he could find a place to conduct services near the people he has a burden for. Pray that his congregation and ministry will begin to flourish again.
The little baby's name (left side of photo) is Sharon, the pastor's granddaughter. In November she was born prematurely, weighing only a little more than 2 pounds. By our Father's grace, as of late January she weighed 5.5 pounds and seems to be in good health. The baby and her parents, along with Abraham, his wife, mother and son, all live in a rented home. He seems to be a Godly man. Please pray for his family and for Sharon, and help financially if the Lord leads your heart to do so.
