Projects Competed- Report 2008
1. Bible for India: This is an every year project. $3.00 US will put God’s Word in their native language in the hands of the people who attend our churches, their new converts, etc. in India. This is a good project for your Juniors, Youth, etc. to be working on.
2. Christmas Project: This year Bro. Pinapati would like our Christmas offering to go towards providing a nice clock with a picture of Jesus in the face, for each of the churches in India. For the national pastors, many of them need a good watch. The widows greatest need, besides their monthly stipend for some rice, is a new piece of cloth for a sari dress. And Bro. Pinapati would really like to provide the orphans with a set of clothes that would be a uniform for the orphanage so they could all dress alike for public presentations. So encourage your people to raise a good Christmas offering and send our warmest wishes and blessings to our brethren in India.
3. Water Wells for Thirty Villages: The main Helping Hands project for this year is to provide wells in some of the villages where our Christian people live in India. Many of them have to walk for miles to get even their drinking water. At least 8 villages and the orphanage are very needy of a well. These wells will have to be over 200 feet deep in order to reach sweet water (not salt) and will cost about $700 US each. This may sound very humanitarian but Bro. Pinapati feels that many people will come to know the Lord through this effort, besides being a great help to our Christian brethren. Jesus was very concerned about thirsty people – we see Him with the Samaritan woman at the well taking advantage of her physical thirst to tell her about the Living Water available for her soul. Let's follow His example. If every one of us will do our best, with some sacrifice for the cause of missions, we can provide this great blessing for many thirsty folks.
