Letter from Agasteen

DSC05115 Dear Pastor and Mission Committee,

“For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him.” (Psalm 103:11)

Warm greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

We praise God for God’s faithfulness in all that we do for God’s glory and honor. First of all we, under Grace Gospel Ministry, India, are thankful to God and grateful to pastor, mission committee and you all the families of Webster Groves Baptist Church, St.Louis for your valuable prayers and loving support. This is for your kind knowledge that we have distributed blankets and food ( few saries for women and few pants & shirts for pastors) for 50 people (families) all together including non-Christians who are poor and needy especially for the people affected by floods as 3 groups, one is at Christmas i.e. on 25th December, 2013, second is at the new year i.e. on 1st of January 2014, third is at the first Sunday in new DSC05206year 2014 i.e. on 5th January 2014. We thank you that your support became a tremendous relief. And we have remembered you all, your work and ministry in our prayers as we have remembered and celebrated God’s faithfulness in our lives. I send you some pictures for your kind knowledge.

We all praise God and continually glorify Him because of you and your great help as your precious help has given a tremendous support to the poor and needy. We appreciate you all the church for your loving support.  Ultimately glory, honour and praise we attribute to Jesus of Nazareth in God who loved us so much and blessings to all of you.  And we all offer prayers constantly for you all for God’s continuous abundant blessings.

Now we pray that God would open up new projects in this New Year 2014 to Grace Gospel Ministry, India, through which we might rush into peoples and proclaim the message of salvation in Jesus among non-Christians.  We want to serve people with the projects like education (mission school of English medium for orphans and economically poor children i.e., from 1 to 10 classes), hostel for orphans and economically poor children who study in schools, dispensary for poor, etc… We need your continuous prayers and support for God’s work we do in India. May God bless you.DSC05307

Thanking you,

Pastor. Agasteen and Lalitha,

Grace Gospel Ministry,

Pithapuram, India.
