A new church constituted in Vellore

We are all rejoicing over the meeting in Vellore last night. There we constituted the Revival Primitive Baptist Church with Elder G। Eliezer as pastor. The church was constituted with about 47 members. Bro. Jeff said that Bro. Guna were walking about three inches off the ground with joy. This is a very fine group of saints at Vellore who love the Lord and His Truth. Pray for this new church.

[Note: Vellore is the city where Amy Carmichael labored for so many years. It is now a widely sought center for medical research and care, including Mother Theresa's hospital. As a result, there are an unusually large number of Western physicians and medical personnel there, in addition to an unusually high number of well-educated Indians. However, up to this point there has been no Baptist church in the whole region. This new church therefore has a tremendous and unique opportunity to be an influence for Christ in this region and, through this region, to many parts of the world.]

Pray the Lord will be pleased to continue to bless the labors of His servants in India. Later on this week they will travel to Andhra Pradesh, before returning to the States on April 29.
