Brother John's church building/house is progressing well. Shortly before Christmas, we had asked you to pray for John and his wife Dayamani, as they were headed into a season of mourning for their daughter Joy. Joy's 13 year old body died in April 2021 from severe diabetes (and other unknown problems), so this was going to be their first Christmas without her (their only child). And Joy's birthday was on December 28th, so it was a hard time for her parents. Somehow some brothers at World Challenge in Colorado saw this prayer request, and the Lord touched their hearts to give a $10,000 donation to John and his wife in the name of their daughter Joy. Praise the Lord!! With this 10k and a smaller amount which John has been able to raise, they are able to build a small church/home on their own property. They always rented previously, and their "church" wasn't any better than a small shack. What an encouragement this has been to them, to know that the Lord has not forgotten them. "For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever." Psalms 9:18
