Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ

I hope this finds you well and in the peace of our Lord. I know everywhere in this world people are going through a terrible situation because of the corona virus. But we can trust only one name on earth under heaven: our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities.

“For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross” (Col 1:19-20).

We pray that our Lord Himself wipes out this deadly virus from the earth and heals the nations by His healing touch, that all will know this Lord Jesus is the author of life and death.

I would like to thank you all for your prayers and generous donations for the people suffering starvation due to the corona virus. The whole of India is in lock-down for 21 days, beginning last week and lasting until April 14. The situation gets worse day by day.

No one is allowed to leave their house, except police, health workers and registered volunteers. Many of our pastors registered themselves as volunteers and are visiting our church members along with other poor people. They have already supplied 420 family kits, which contain rice, wheat and other food grains, cleaned clothes, soaps, masks, hand sanitizers, some general medicines and more. God willing, we would like to be able to provide kits for hundreds of more families.

The national government has made a decision to supply all families with food grains but has not yet begun doing so, and there will certainly not be enough for everyone. People suffer hunger across the country. One family kit which we provide to our members costs US$40 each, and lasts an average family one week. The next two weeks will be even more critical.

Our pastors were able to supply these kits only because of your generous help. Once again I thank you all for considering them as your own body in our Lord Jesus Christ.

May our Lord bless you abundantly according to His riches in glory. And also may He reward you His crown of life on His Great Day.

Please continue praying for us. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

With love and prayers,
Yours in His service.
