God is good

This is the latest report from Jeff Harris and Jamey Tucker in India:

Jamey and I enjoyed our first full night's sleep last night. We have been waking up at four in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so I used my time to study and prepare lessons for the Minister's Conference, which ended today.

The Lord blessed our day with the completion of our studies in the two books of Timothy. The response was great and the attendance more than at any other time in our history. It was just greatly blessed of the Lord, what more can we say? We ordained three outstanding men, who have been in the church for a number of years, but have exercised only for the last two years. They are Bro. Nelson, Bro. George and Bro. John Mark (whom I baptized). They passed their written examination with flying colors and answered the questions we presented to them scripturally and without any hesitation! We also participated in the baptism of three more Hindu converts from Yercaud, which made everyone rejoice even more!

This evening, Bro. Jamey and Sis. Karen went with Bro. Sridharan to the refugee camp to minister to the small flock of Christians there, while I was needed by Bro. Guna in Salem. Now, we are very tired again and ready to go heat our water to take some warm showers before getting to bed.

Tomorrow, Jamey and I will accompany Bro. Guna to Andhra-Pradesh, which is a ten hour drive from here. We will not get back to Chettipatty until next Tuesday, Lord willing. There are no computers there or phones, so just pray for us and we will make contact with you whenever possible. Sis. Karen will be taken to the Eureka Children's home in Veppamarathur to work with children in the orphanage there and in several neighboring villages with Bro. Guna's mobile medical unit outreach. Pray for her as she serves. God is good.
