Dear beloved friends and faithful ministry partners,

We always acknowledge and thankful for your continued prayers of us as well as your financial partnership. It will bring a great joy and blessing to you to know what the Lord is accomplishing through your partnership.

Vikasitha Buds (Children) Home: In June we accepted few more orphan Children and now have 35 Buds with us (21girls and 14 boys). Their school year for 2009 - ‘10 started on June 8th. They are very excellent in all aspects. Growing in the Lord and discipline, very creative and achieving top ranks in their studies (except 3 all get A and A++).

Bible College (training harvesters): Right now we have 68 young men and women (39 in1st yr., 19 in 2nd yr. and 10 in 3rd year training program). They have come from 14 different districts of our state Andhra Pradesh. We started Current school year on June 12th and ends on 10th of April, 2010. We are providing quality and holistic training to them. Every year we are able to send about 30 harvesters into the needy fields. 9 faculty members are teaching them.
On September 30th we held Graduation Ceremony for 5th and 6th batch graduates. It was a great blessing to see 65 graduates receiving their certificates. Around 600 people (graduates relatives, friends and pastors) attended. It rained heavily that evening but because of our huge Malori Aslan’s Place facility program was not disturbed. Thank God for the MAP building! See Graduation Pictures # 1 - 6.

Vikasitha Pastors: Now we are supporting 27 pastors who are ministering in 12 districts. Except 2 all are married and have children. On September 30th after graduation ceremony we ordained 10 of our pastors as full pledged ministers who proved themselves well and been working with us since 2002. It is another milestone in Vikasitha ministries. Pastor’s Ordination pictures # 1 & 2. In the last 6 months 5 new house Churches are newly planted.

Highlights of some of the miracles in our pastors’ ministry:
• The Lord wonderfully healed 2 HIV / AIDS patients in 2 places. One, husband and wife suffering from HIV started to come to Church. After few weeks husband died but wife’s faith was so strong. Pastor and whole Church took it as a challenge and prayed earnestly. Now she is healed. Lost hair started to grow again on her head and now she carries vegetable basket on head, goes on to streets selling for her and children’s living. She took baptism and faithful to the Lord and gives witness wherever she goes.
• Second, another lady who had AIDS in another place was healed, works very hard and I am the eyewitness to this miracle.
• Persons who were possessed by devils are delivered now. A girl who suffered with blisters and boils for more than 5 years. After weeks of prayer devil clearly explained the cause and left the girl and now she is totally healed. Another man who used to get up from bed after midnight, wander in the streets and suffered sleepless night for some years received deliverance just because of fervent prayers. Barren women who conceived children. One is after 19 years and another 22 years of their marriage. The Lord visited them as He promised and now they are so thankful to the Lord and come to churches regularly as living witnesses. All these miracles happened after doctors gave up the hope. A building mason who experienced phenomenal healing. One day at work his shoulder was dislocated and faced serious nervous problems. Suffered more than 3 years and visited famous corporate hospitals and doctors. No healing, no professional work and all his money gone. He heard about Jesus and came to our Vikasitha pastor. Pastor and Church members fasted and prayed for seven consecutive weeks with immovable faith. The Lord touched him and he is completely healed. Now, a man who was totally disable to work for more than 3 years constructed a Church when our Vikasitha pastor wanted to build nearby his village and I am going with a team to that area for 3 days and dedicate that Church on 6th of November. Praise the Lord!
Drought and Floods: This year is the year of natural calamities to our state which has very bad results on our finances. One, drought due to lack of monsoon rains in the months of June, July and August. Second, heavy floods and no one has seen these terrible floods in the past 106 years of history. About hundred people died, thousands of houses and crops in millions of acres were damaged. In Vijayawada some of our OUDHARYAM( old age and widows support program) beneficiaries homes were under water for 4 days and they lost almost every thing. Houses are in very bad condition. We want to help them possible way. Pastor Moshe’s Church is on bank of Krishna river and all of his believers families live there. These families suffered from flood. We promised them to give provisions for a week. We estimated these extra expenses as around $ 2000 USD. We need your helping hand in this regard. See flood pictures # 1 - 3.

Living Water Health Care Center: Our long term goal is to enlighten our community (society) with the Gospel. We have been praying for many years to reach the unreached with the health care wing in our ministries. In the first week of August when a team from Mosaic, LA came to help us in the ministry, with the encouragement and prayers of that team we started ‘Living Water Health Care Center’. We are getting different doctors who want to help us voluntarily. It is a great blessing to our buds (orphan children) and Bible college students. Living Water Pictures # 1 & 2 Team took First Aid and Health Care classes.

Mosaic Team also worked with Vanitha (Ladies) Self Help Centers. Ladies learned many creative ways to develop their skills and products. Ex. Quilting . See Quilt picture. Team taught many spiritual lessons and imputed missions spirit into students lives.
Other Ministry Activities: I gave water Baptism to 11 persons from local Church ministry. Baptisms Picture attached. Every month we are supporting 36 widows. Ladies Self Help Centers are great assets to reach the unreached groups with gospel.

Dear brothers and sisters, I humbly request you to strengthen us continuously in our ministry. Through your prayers and financial partnership we together can bring a great difference in many people’s lives here in India. The dear Lord will fill your hearts with His joy as you allow Him to use your lives to extend His kingdom.
