Veni is with her good friend Shine on her 16th birthday just a couple of days before Christmas. Both girls look just like their mothers, and both girls seems to be seeking the Lord. They attend most all of our meetings that they are able to attend. Veni is studying in the 10th grade, which is equivalent in importance to a senior in high school here in the US. Because the dropout rate is so high in India (and illiteracy much higher than it should be), it's routine policy to pass every student to the next grade level, regardless of their grades. But if they don't pass the 10th grade final exams, they cannot proceed any further with their education. Veni is studying well. Her mother and sister have both come to the Lord recently (previously Hindus). Pray for her Daddy, who still needs salvation.
