April 7 at 4pm we were blessed to hold a Spirit-filled gathering, at our Potnuru Bible School for all students and our new supported pastors.
It was a precious time of encouragement, fellowship, and renewal in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The 10 support Pastors were selected for their dedication, spiritual commitment, and ability to serve the villages through pastoral care, encouragement, and support.
They will also play an important role in guiding and supporting our Bible School students in their spiritual growth and ministry training.
The meeting was filled with fellowship, prayer, an thanksgiving as we committed these new pastors and the future ministry work into God’s hands
The meetings were conducted in a spirit of unity, dedication, and concern for the students and staff. Following the meeting, Kumari lovingly served a delicious dinner for all the attendees, which brought warmth and fellowship to the gathering.

Thanksgiving Prayer Meeting – 27 May 2025

On 27 May 2025, we held a small thanksgiving prayer meeting with our support pastors at Barlapeta Village Church. We gathered to thank God for His healing touch upon Pastor Annie. Doctors had said it would take six months for her eyes to recover, but by God’s grace, she was completely healed within just one month. Praise God — she can see clearly again! We give all glory to Jesus for every miracle He continues to do in our lives. |
