Dear Brethren in Christ,
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We are truly blessed by your kind cooperation and continued support in operating the Preaching School at Bikkavolu. Your prayers and encouragement mean so much to us, and we thank God for your partnership in this great mission.
Training effective evangelists remains the ultimate goal of our preaching school. We are happy to share the good news we continually receive from our former students—the dedicated men who are the product of our training efforts. It is a great joy to see these faithful preachers, graduates of Bikkavolu Bible College, serving in various parts of our region and bearing fruit for the Lord’s kingdom.
We are delighted to share the exciting news of new believers across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Many souls are obeying the Truth and accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We are especially thrilled to witness so many young people embracing Christ and committing their lives to Him.
The Lord’s work continues to grow, even amid challenges and struggles faced by our brethren. We give sincere thanks and appreciation to all who have stood with us in this mission. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the brethren at Killen Church of Christ, Tuscumbia Church of Christ, Union Church of Christ, Lomax Church of Christ, and Atlas Church of Christ for their continued trust, confidence, and partnership in the gospel. Your love and support make it possible for us to reach the lost and strengthen the faithful. Truly, we cannot imagine these wonderful results without your help and encouragement.
Brethren, One thing I would like to bring to your kind attention, that is, the financial situation of many of these preachers is very delicate, as they depend entirely on the church for their livelihood. Under the present circumstances, most of them are unable to find any other employment that would allow them to continue their preaching responsibilities. We are not requesting any financial support, but rather seeking your understanding and prayers — that you might imagine the challenges and sacrifices these faithful men and their families face each day.
As we are able, we continue to assist them with Bibles, hymn books, and other Christian literature from time to time. Your prayers for these preachers and their families will mean so much and will truly strengthen the mission work here in India.
With love and gratitude,
John Dean Muppidi
