2020
May & June 2020
  • Our family was compelled to go back to village and start cultivating due to lock down since there was almost no way to look for opportunities for ministry (physically) and funds. There was also poor connectivity which was also great challenge to hold ministry calls.
  • I continue to praise God for He keeps paving a way to do His ministry despite the lock down. Locked down and yet we are not locked for His kingdom building. What an amazing God we serve. 
  • I was bedridden for many days with my lower back slight fractured... It was such a terrible experience. At one point of time I was disappointed and felt so down, but that was the time God begin to motivate me with His words...as I read His words daily. That's where I said to God "I will do anything for your kingdom, despite the physical struggles. So I started making contacts and started engaging in phone calls, zoom calls encouraging leaders to keep preparing hard for God. Of all the experiences, the best part was had sports ministry vision casting with leaders from 8 states while lying on my bed.

WAYS TO SUPPORT

Picture
  • We are working hard to come up with $9,600 to fund a sustainable project (AN Academy).
  • We are desperately in need of one good projector for trainings as hiring has become very expensive for us. A budget of $600 will get us a good quality one.
  • For commuting to ministry in and around we are in need of one two wheeler (Scooty) $900.
  • ​Funds to print the training resources ($1,000 PA).
