To fulfill his work in our lives in reaching everyone with the light that was once placed in our own hearts either through someone or through birth into a christian home, we reach out to the many who are deprived of this truth in the land of our roots. This is sometimes the least that we can do abroad not unaware of the commission of witnessing daily to the lost in our land here where we work and make a living with much freedom.

Our efforts have allowed us to support a young ministry in Orissa led by Pastor Babu & Mercy John in affiliation with Jesus Missions.  The Pastor and a few others have come out of their professional jobs some years ago to follow that great call. Their prayers and vision are being fulfilled through the help of our Pastor and church members.

Our church here in Lakeland teamed together with our brothers in Orissa in raising up many others in their local area to spread the Gospel to the untold many by training them in a bible school that we call Masihi Bhavan Bible School. Currently, it offers 10 courses that are taught by a staff of 5 teachers to a group of 11 students.

Pray for this ministry and also reach out to those around you.

Letter from a nursing student's father...

To: India Pentecostal church,
Florida, Inc.

Greetings in the matchless name of JESUS CHRIST.

First of all I thank you for your humble gift in the time when we were very much in need for our daughter's nursing college, that was really very helpful at the right time.  We are very much grateful for your kind help.  And how to express from deep down in our heart how thankful we are for your loving and kind heart.

We really appreciate you for your special attention towards our family. And we pray to Almighty God, that the Almighty may bless your church and reward you according to his riches in glory.

By God's grace in North India, now ministry is going on well, but in spite of all, still the persecutions are there in some areas and we are not at all allowed conversion in the large scale. But we are doing all small meetings in slum areas. And Almighty Father has us in ministry and has helped us in our ministry as many people are added into his kingdom. But we need your very valuable prayers. We are also praying for your church.  Especially we thank Ps. James George and Ps. P. A. Kurian.

May God Bless everyone.

Yours in Christ,
Soman K. Oommen
