I have so many precious memories of the many years that I've known Brother Puthra and his family (in the previous post we shared that he passed into glory last Friday). I hope to share some of those memories, including Puthra literally saving my life one day, in this month's newsletter. In the photo below, it was less than 3 years ago we shared with you about Puthra's mother passing. Somehow, the Lord gave Brother Wesley and I the honor of being there during that time, even though their area of ministry is a long distance from where I usually was at. It's hard not to sob during an Indian funeral, where the people freely express their pain at the passing of a loved one; and so it was that day. Brother Puthra is on the left with the microphone (shortly before his mother's body was moved to the burial site), and going to the right is his sister, his daughter Beulah, his niece, and his son Prem, leaning over the table. Continue to pray for Puthra's family, as the Lord puts them in your heart over the coming months.
