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.

Health Update on Our Twins

Mary (left) and Martha have been very special to us since we first met them in 2021. Long story (which we've shared many times), but they were in great need. By God's grace and provision through His people, their family is doing much better now. Please pray for their health. Perhaps from birth (they were both less than 2 or 3 pounds) they have been weak and susceptible to sickness. HIV is also in their family, but thankfully these girls do not have that. Mary is many times having headaches and sometimes fainting; her blood pressure usually runs about 80 on the first number. A doctor is feeling like there's a deeper problem and wants her to have an MRI scan on her brain. Martha has better BP, but her hemoglobin level is now at 7.5, way too low (Mary's level is fine). Right now she's also having severe back pains and crying. The doctor has given meds and wants her to come again after a few days. Trusting the Lord to watch over these precious girls. This photo is from their 20th birthday last September.

Talking About the Plans That God Has

Generally, we can say that children and youth (even many in church) rarely give much priority to what the Lord might have for their lives. Brother Raju and Marthababu took about 15 girls to the city of Peta, where another family we're helping is at. He talked to them about their futures and asked them to write down their thoughts about what they have in mind for the future. "For I know the plans that I have for you' says the Lord..." (Jeremiah 29:11). "In Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose, Who works all things after the counsel of His own will." (Ephesians 1:10-11). "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10). These are the most important things that all of His children should be thinking and praying about, and this is the direction our brothers and sisters in India are trying to teach the children and youth. No matter what you end up doing in life: job, career, housewife, ministry...try to find His created purpose for your life.
