For the last 3 years of more we have been helping with weekly meetings, encouraging our young people, families and elderly to attend. Things have changed over the last couple of years because of a reduction of funds, so we're involved with very few elderly people at this time, although there are a few. The majority of the ministry is with children and youth (ages 6 to about 22), their family members and neighbors. There's also some Sunday School ministry in 5 villages. In this weekly Sunday afternoon meeting, we have been giving gifts to those with the best attendance over a 6 month period. In July we gave gifts to all the children who attended at least 20 out of 26 meetings from Jan to June '26. In the top photo (from left), Mary, Divya, Kavya and Shine attended all 26 meetings. In the lower photo, Akshaya, Abhinaya and Veni attended 25 of the 26 meetings. We're very thankful for how the Lord is working in many of their hearts.
