As a church we support Fredrick and Reeba, pastors in Bangalore, India. Fredrick used to be a student at Mattersey Hall near Doncaster and spent time in Goldthorpe then, and the contact has been maintained since he returned to India.
He has recently sent us photos of the official opening of a church in the North Karnataka village of Hulikunte, Challakere Taluk, Chitradurga District. This church is called Jesus Holy Temple.
Despite opposition from local officials and the police warning the church Pastor (Pastor Marappa) not to proceed with the building, the work has been completed and the building opened on 26 February.
Fredrick writes, “There is a great harvest of souls in these provinces, and this is the season of miracles. We were joined for the dedication event of this church by pastors and leaders from nearby villages. We also invited all of the village leaders and Hindhus to come see what the Lord was doing. Pastor Marappa and all the believers were in tears as we dedicated the church, thanking God for His unmerited favour & love.”
We are so glad to hear this news and also to see photos of Amshika, the disabled child in Bangalore whom we support through regular monthly donations.
