Dear Beloved Brother in Christ, RON HARR,
Greetings to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
Thank you very much for the love
filled email you have sent to me. I really felt very happy to hear from you. I
thank you for understanding the hardships I am facing in ministering in the
tribal villages. I also thank you for feeling the sufferings of the poor tribal
Christian believers here. God has given such a kind heart to you to be able to
understand the sufferings of the poor fellowmen. I thank our Lord Jesus Christ
for associating me and my Ministry with you. We remember you and your family
members and all the members of your church in
all our daily prayers.
Thank you for expressing your
willingness to come to India. My self and my people will be blessed if you come
to India and visit us. Your promise gives me a feeling of great happiness and
hope and encouragement. Thank you for all your blessings. We need your valuable
prayers and blessings. Please pray for us and for all our needs.
Our Gospel work is going on well.
Prison Ministry is a part of our gospel activity. I got to the prison along with
two of my co-pastors, once in a
week. I go to the prison and preach the Lord’s word to the inmates of the
prison. People who have committed various crimes are put in there. I tell them
that they are there because they are living in darkness without realizing the
true love and word of God. I try to change their minds and turn them towards
Jesus Christ. Some of them realize the God’s word and they confess and promise
to walk in the word of God.
I also take the addresses of the
family members of the prisoners and I go to their homes and preach to their
family members. It gives me a great feeling of satisfaction when I meet the
families of the prisoners. I need some Bibles to be distributed in the Prisons
and to the families of the prisoners. They keep asking me each time I go to
minister to them in the prisons. I don’t have any Bibles with me to
distribute. You told me that you have sent a package to me, but I didn’t yet
receive the package you sent to me. Please inform when you have sent the package
for me. I will inform you as soon as I receive the package you have sent to me.
I am taking care of 5 poor
children whose parents are now in prison. I brought them to my home when I heard
of them from the prisoners. They are very poor and their condition is very
pathetic. I am also poor myself and I am not a in position to bear their
expenditure. I am feeding them with the small offerings I get from our
believers. Please kindly help me with some support to take care of them. Please
pray for us and all our poor children and believers. I will wrote to you soon. I
hope to hear from you soon..
Your Brother in Christ,
Pastor G. Ravi Kumar.
