PREMSWAROOP MINISTRIES

Friends of  Missions of Christ...

Dear Friend,

Oh, what a report from India. Under the direction of Rev Ruth Vasu and Christians For Christ I had the joy of going to India and minister to literally thousands. We took the Bread of Life -Jesus Christ- to the people of India while Richard was at the camp keeping the home fires burning.

There was only one day in which we were being protected from going out to the people and possibly being in danger. That was the day we actually were in the newspaper with a comment that said..."They came to preach the Gospel." Though we did do that very thing we were there as tourists and we were only going to speak at the Bible School and partnering Churches. This particular Church was out side the fellowship of the Bible School and a reporter showed up. The cell phones the next day were ringing constantly and many started to cancel future meetings. Then about two hours later after praying in the spirit the cell phones started again only this time with Pastors calling and rallying behind the 'women' who came to bless India!

We needed your prayers and we had them! Thank you so much. India is mostly Muslim and Hindu country. According to the Voice of The Martyrs they are in the red zone as being intolerant to Christians. We really NEEDED your prayers to cover us. Rev Ruth Vasu,  Pastor Ruth and Ann Arra all want to say thank you for keeping us lifted up.

Ruth Vasu is staying on for another four or five months, God willing. The mission is to take the State of Andhra Predesh for the Kingdom of God. She is meeting with many to mark which areas are being covered and which are not. Then Bible Students will be assigned to go therefore.

We visited the churches in the area, had mini crusades of evangelism and taught in the newly opened Bible School. We went house to house and prayed for many people, watching those who did not serve our God turn and confess Jesus as Lord. We counted in two weeks 67 new souls for Christ, about 120 gave their total allegiance to Jesus Christ and the healings that took place, well some just made me cry for the joy that was shared. Typhoid fever, blind eyes to see, legs and backs healed, headaches gone and marriages restored. WOW - to be a part of it all was so overwhelming. We truly are CO-LABORERS with God.

We prayed for the ladies in the leper colony and were humbled to hear they were all believers in Christ and their house was The House of prayer for all their village. Many would go to them for their prayer requests. How marvelous and great is our God?

We found out that so many have no jobs to support their families yet they do everything they can to help one another. That's the way it is. Bible Students walk for hours just to preach the Gospel. They stay at villages over night to see many souls saved. It made me feel like I was living at the time of Peter and Paul.

We have learned that we can start a Chicken Farm and Brick 'Factory' that will employ about 36 - 40 people. When we do this the employees have promised to volunteer their first month of service to put the business in the black. What will this take? The Chicken Farm will need $10,000 start up. The Brick Farm will need approximately $7,000. The wonderful thing about this is that the people want to support the Kingdom work. One sister works for the government two days per month passing out pensions to the widows and disabled. She walks from village to village and for this she is paid $5 total. Now you may think, how cheap but it does pay her electric bill.  Some people only make $44 a month while others who are more educated make almost $500 a month.

We believe everyone would like to help in some way. No one can do it alone, but together, with the blessing of our Almighty God and Father and your help, we can and will make a difference and accomplish a lot. If YOU would like to help India, please send your donation to COGL at the above address.

God bless all that you do in His service as we work together for the Good of His Kingdom. I look forward to bringing you more good news of what God is doing in INDIA!

In His service with you,

Rev Dr Ruth Plante

Director
