The Lord's Hand is Upon This 16 Year Old

Asiya, the tallest girl (3rd from right), turned 16 in February. We have shared this with you before, but have some updated information. For years she would have seizures, not convulsions, but passing out and sleeping for 30 minutes up to more than an hour. Then she would wake up extremely sleepy and tired. One night, her Muslim family thought she was dead. Knowing that their "Allah" (the Arabic word for God, and thus used by Muslims, Christians and others in the Arab region to refer to God). isn't doing anything for them, they rushed Asiya to the local church, which not coincidentally was having a meeting. The pastor and others prayed for her; she woke up and has been slowly improving since that time. I asked Asiya on her birthday (through Brother Raju translating) when the last time was that she has had a seizure, and she thinks it has been almost 2 years. Praise the Lord! Her family (parents and an older brother) haven't come to the Lord, but they are allowing Asiya to attend the Christian meetings, go on excursions with us, etc. We are very thankful that she seems to recognize that there is something very different about JESUS versus all the violent and angry behavior she's been around for years in her Muslim community. Please pray for Asiya.

Special Meeting for the Youth and Children

In our area of India, many of the schools (some colleges as well) have a holiday on the 2nd Saturday of each month. The normal school week is Monday through Saturday. In February we gathered our youth and children on the 2nd Saturday, those able to come, and had a special time of prayer, singing, sharing the Word, and having lunch together. As you can see, we also asked many of the children who are in one particular school to wear their uniforms for pictures. For some reason, their school doesn't allow pictures to be taken on school grounds. Happy to see so many younger boys attending the meeting!

Pray for issues on the technical side of things, as we're having various issues lately. Below are 20 of our 21 children who are attending a particular school, the principal giving us a discount. More inside the update, including class photos and a couple of praise reports.

Growing, Physically and in Number

As I look at the photos of the Sunday School classes going on, it seems like the numbers are growing in at least 2 of the 5 villages, and so are the children! Below are some girls leading in song in the village of NTR Colony. Please keep this precious ministry in your prayers.

Precious Times of PRAYER

During some Hindu festival days in January, our children and youth had some school days off, so we conducted some special meetings. During that time, they broke up into groups to pray for various needs. No doubt, some of the prayers were in union with whatever message had been preached beforehand. So beautiful to see these mothers, grandmothers, some men, children and youth praying, sometimes crying out to the Lord! Please keep us in prayer!

Happy Birthday Iswarya!

Iswarya with her 2 cousins, Emmanuel and Anand, on her 20th birthday in January. Iswarya, her 2 sisters, Suvarna and Kranthi, and these 2 cousins all used to be in a hostel that I was a part of for many years. All of them are living together with Iswarya's mother and step-father, who seem to be taking good care of them. RHM is NOT assisting them in any way, but we like to stay in touch with them. Iswarya is one of the best in her college in making good grades, and seems to be solid in her walk with JESUS, for which we are very thankful. Please pray for Iswarya, which means prosperity or wealth in their Telugu language.
