Our Dearest Friends,

Season’s greetings to you !!

As the chill of winter fades and thesummer season begins here in India, it gives us great joy to be able to communicate withyou once again. From January through May itis our driest and hottest season. However, we take advantage of that fact and plan most ofour gospel meetings and outreaches beforethe June rains begin.This year we have hada great start to our season of outreach andhave seen the multitudes come to hear of the compassionate love of God.

We have already commenced with meetings and conventions; from small meetings with hundreds attending to larger regional and openair meetings with thousands attending. Wehave had our largest gathering so far this yearwith 100,000 attending in a single night at our International Music Festival in Kadapa.How exciting to see the people come and hear the Gospel! Even though there has been some unrest in our state of Andhra Pradesh due to political turmoil, our meetings (while facing some minorhindrances) went unhindered. The people did not let fear of any kind keep them from attending.

We are also grateful to have been able to dedicate some new churches during this season. Many of our believers continue to worship in small makeshift facilities or in rented buildings. We sincerely appreciate each of you, our friends, who give to help construct these permanent Houses of Worship.

We want to thank you all personally for your continued prayers and financial support.Your help brings the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people and the compassionate love of God in deed to the orphan, widow, sick, poor and disenfranchised.

It would be impossible to go forward without your support.Onething we do believe and pray is that as you give into God’s work He will bless you when, how, and whereyou need it the most. Thank you for standing with us!

Reaching out with God’s compassionate love,

Ernest and Rachel Komanapalli
