Ministry to India's blind

I am presenting another message from my brother in Christ, Shantijai Khristmukti of Ahmedabad, India. He has a ministry to the blind in the Ahmedabad area. Cultural influences can make India hard ground for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to take root. Despite this, the Gospel is being presented and people are coming to the Lord. Reverend Khristmukti needs our prayers. To learn more about this vital ministry to visually impaired people of India, I invite you to visit Bartimai Centre for the Blind's website at
http://www.geocities.com/bartimai/

Watch an informative 12 minute video about this ministry go to http://www.geocities.com/bartimai/

They need our prayers and financial support. Donations can be sent to:Bartimai Centre For The Blind, Christian Society, Maninagar E, Ahmedabad 380 008, Gujarat, India.

Our dear brother Mark in Christ,

Loving warm greetings in the Name of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much for your precious prayers for our ministry among blind people in western India. We value your partnership in Lord's work.

We had problem with our broad band connection and so we didn't have access to internet during last week of September and we couldn't inform you about our Good News Meeting on 2nd inst. We need your prayers.

By God's grace about 181 blind people came to church to attend our meeting!! It is highest number in past two years. Maninagar Methodist Youth Choir presented Gospel songs. Each song was explained. Mr. Enan Roziya shared from the Word of God. The way of salvation was presented in simple way. Several blind people prayed in their hearts to invite Christ as their Personal Savior. Several blind people asked for Gospel Camp (Tent Meetings)! We need much prayer to plan three days meetings.There were children of blind people, some sighted escorts, choir, and counselors. 260 people had enjoyed delicious lunch. We had given groceries to blind people (worth of Rs.144/-).Much prayer is needed. Please Pray that these blind people of other faith may experience love of God and salvation.

We value your prayers.View Photos and Video of the meeting at our web page: http://bartimai.googlepages.com/meet02oct09.htm
