Singing a song before Brother Karunakar (a pastor) shares with our boys. In late April Brothers Raju and Marthababu took 19 boys (most of whom are part of our children's ministry) on an excursion to the city of Vizag. They stayed in this blind brother's church, had great devotion times, times with each other, and times seeing the zoo and different sights in the city. I heard Bro. Karunakar share when Bro. Raju, Pavani and I visited this place with some girls in 2022. He and his wife's testimonies touched all our hearts. They have suffered much in their life and for the Gospel. He became blind when young, his wife lost one leg, and they suffered much poverty. But still they raised 3 Godly girls, who later all married young men who became ministers, some helping this brother in ministry now. They also suffered much persecution from their community, but now it seems to be more peaceful. We hope that what the boys saw and heard will impact their lives for eternity. Pray for the ministry with boys.
