Spotlight on Missions

From the Jebarajs in India

“We greet you all in The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We are thankful for the many opportunities that God gave us.  We were invited to speak in a church last month in Madurai.  The Pastor has a desire to have an English service once a month.  We led the worship and I preached the sermon in English and the pastor translated it in Tamil.  Several people stayed back after the service for counseling and prayer.  We were astounded to find out that many had been saved from the Hindu faith.  In the month of October, a friend of ours invited us to speak in a church that is about 75 miles from the city of Madurai.  There was a good response from the congregation.  They asked us if we could come back and minister to them.  They said that there was a great need for ministry in their area.  Jeni and Beulah are keeping up with home schooling.  They have picked up a lot of words and are fairly fluent in speaking Tamil.  Beulah misses her friends and keeps asking us lots of questions.  Joshua is quite interesting and is such a joy to all of us.”
