Below is Brother Marthababu sharing the Word with Jone (17) and his brother Jaison (12). Marthababu and his wife, Pavani, try to visit their home, and many other homes, at least 3 or 4 times a month. Both boys could be considered miracles, gifts from the Lord. Their mother, one of our widows, Nagendramma, was forced into marriage at 11 years old. She suffered for over 30 years with an abusive husband, and for the first 22 years of marriage was barren. The Lord saw her affliction, heard her cry, and Jone was born. Then, another 5 years later (the mother at this time close to 40), she had Jaison. Jone has had many ailments over the years, and in recent months has had stomach pain. Finally, they went to the doctor, and tests confirmed that he has tuberculosis (TB). He's on medication, which the govt provides freely because TB is somewhat common in India. In 2023, 26% of the new cases of TB in the world were in India, which had the highest number of TB deaths as well (but not the highest rate of TB). RHM is providing Jone with more food for his strength. Please pray for Jone.
