Respected beloved director Keith Kasarjian and our coordinator Mark Reynolds and all the prayer partners greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray that this letter finds you well . We thank you very much for your continual prayers and encouragement. By the grace of God BVBI-Tirupati functions smoothly . We would like to submit a brief report for the month of May-2026.
Weather Report: The month of May is generally hot across India. With several heat waves in many northern and central states. Some southern and central regions received thunderstorms and above normal rainfall providing temporary relief from the summer heat although temperatures remained high.
Graduation Ceremony: In India, the academic year generally ends in April before the summer season. Accordingly, BVBI-Tirupati followed the Indian academic calendar and organized its Graduation Ceremony on May 5, 2026, with the permission of our coordinator, Mr. Mark Reynolds and our director Mr.Keith Kasarjian.
We invited local directors as special guests, along with members of the local congregation, to participate in this joyful occasion. We are thankful to God that 32 students successfully graduated from BVBI-Tirupati, India.
We kindly request your prayers for these newly graduated students as they begin their future service to the Lord. To provide ongoing spiritual support, we have connected each student with families from the local church who will pray for them, encourage them, and help them remain faithful in their Christian walk and ministry.
Thank you for remembering these graduates in your prayers. May God bless and guide them as they serve His kingdom. We are thankful for your kind and valuable support, prayers and encouragement to educate these young people so that they may teach others (2 Timothy 2:2).
Summer Children Camp: BVBI-Tirupati-India has future plans to cultivate children for their future to be faithful in the kingdom of God. On May 18, 2026, we conducted the Summer Children Bible Learning Camp under the theme “Joyful Obedience – Blessing the Little Ones.” The children learned lessons from Elijah and Daniel, studied prayer, obedience, and the Fruit of the Spirit, participated in quizzes, crafts, drama, and memory games, and actively engaged in all activities. We thank God for a joyful, successful, and blessed day of learning and fellowship.
Baptism: Young brother Mr.Srihari has obeyed to the gospel of Jesus Christ in May. We request you to pray for his spiritual growth.
Summer Bible Learning Camp for the visually challenged people: On May 29, 2026, we were blessed to conduct a one-day Bible Learning Camp for visually challenged people. The theme of the camp was “Faith in God's Providence.” We studied four Bible lessons based on this theme.
Following the sessions, our church members distributed school bags to the children of blind parents and clothing to several needy individuals. We also enjoyed lunch and fellowship together. We taught participants about government reservations and welfare benefits available for visually challenged people. We also provided instruction on mobility skills and healthcare awareness.
Prayer Meeting: We conducted a memorial prayer meeting at Vidyanagar following the passing of my youngest brother. A large number of relatives, friends, and community members attended the gathering. During the meeting, many people had the opportunity to hear the Word of God concerning the truth about death, the hope of the resurrection, and the promises found in Christ. We are thankful for this opportunity to share the Gospel and encourage those who were grieving. Please continue to pray for our family during this time.
Wedding ceremony: On May 6th, we organized the wedding ceremony of our church member, Mr. Immanuel Babu. It was a joyful and blessed occasion attended by family members, friends, and brethren. We thank God for this happy event and pray that He will richly bless the newly married couple with love, faithfulness, and a Christ-centered life together.
Weekly Bible class: We are conducting weekly Bible classes in the eastern part of the city at Mangalam. One of our first-batch BVBI graduates lives there with his family. Every Friday evening, we visit the area and conduct Bible study classes. We are currently teaching outlines of the New Testament books. We are thankful for this opportunity to share God's Word and encourage spiritual growth among the participants.
Please keep this work in your prayers.
We thank you very much for your continual prayers and encouragement. We treat BVBI as a wonderful platform to educate young people in India. We thank you for your love and concern.
Thanking you.
