Jeevan & Yamuna

Jeevan turned 15 on September 1st, and his sister, Yamuna, turned 17 on the 5th, so we combined their birthdays. Actually, Yamuna we are not assisting in any way, but Jeevan we are assisting with his education (9th grade). Jeevan means "life", and I think Yamuna is the name of a river somewhere in India. We are thankful for both of them. Yamuna recently took baptism. Please pray for both Jeevan and Yamuna, that they will grow strong with the Lord. That is ALWAYS our highest priority.

Transition Stages

Brother Wesley is praying for Salome (right, grandmother), one of her daughters, and her granddaughter Blessy (parents passed when she was very young, so she has always lived with the grandmother and this aunt). By His grace and provision, we've helped Blessy in her college studies for at least 6 years. She's now working as a lab technician, so she is able to help her grandmother and aunt now, the aunt feeling the Lord has called her to a life of prayer, not to work a secular job. Once the children have grown, and have either married or working, we oftentimes will stop assisting the family in any way, depending upon the circumstances. Pray for Blessy and her precious family.

Paul Turns 18!

Paul is getting cake from his neighbors, Sandhya (right) and here husband (I don't remember his name). Paul and his mother, Chanti, have their struggles, both not in the best health, and Paul recently stopped going to school. Because he was often sick when younger, he was only in the 8th grade, although now 18 years old. Brother Raju has spent much time counseling him and being with Paul, but still Paul is not wanting to continue his studies. Pray for Paul that his heart will be sensitive to the Lord. Sister Sandhya is a Godly woman, trying to lead her home in a spiritual way. We are assisting both her girls with food, as they are weak physically, their father not taking full responsibility for their needs. This father (left) is always friendly with us, but needs the Lord. Just this week he had to go to the hospital with heart pains, some swelling (I'm not sure where) and high BP. Please pray the Lord will use these problems to draw his heart to salvation.

Laborers in the Harvest Field

Our Lord said, "Pray to the Lord of the Harvest that He will send forth laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:38. In our little dot of the world where there's 300-500,000 people within a 10-15 mile radius from the town of Bapatla, we're thankful the Lord has sent our brothers Raju, Wesley, Marthababu and his wife Pavani into His harvest. Below Raju is ministering to people in the town of Ponnur, where he tries to go at least 2 or 3 times a month, and has for a few years now. Pray with us for good fruit, and for lasting fruit.

RHM August Update

RHM August Update, Working Together as the Body of Christ

We should be so thankful for what the New Testament epistles refer to as "The Body of Christ". It's God's people, working together to accomplish His work on earth. In reality, it's not us, but Christ within us Who is doing His work in the earth. So EVERY person who is a child of God is an important part of this Body, whether we think of it as a big or small part. Within this RHM ministry to the poor in India, EVERY donor, person who is praying, person on the admin or communication side, person doing the hands-on ministry in India...EVERY ONE is an important part. Without that part that YOU have to play, where is the ministry? Please read the update, and keep us in your prayers!

Below is precious Deborah and her little brother Vijay Kumar praying.

Abhishek is Now a Teen!

Abhishek (4th from the left) turned 13 years old on the 11th of this month. He lives with his mother and grandmother, his father dying in 2017 from an auto accident, and his grandfather died in 2022 from heart failure. We tried to help Abhishek (whose name means "anointing", a work commonly heard in preaching and songs) with education, but couldn't keep him in a private school. He's going to his village govt school. Pray for Abhishek, a nice boy, that he will grow with a tender heart for the Lord.
