Given Life Has New Friends in India

Sharing God's Blessings With Others

We were recently blessed to meet some new friends from India, Pastor Krupa Kiran and his wife, Jasmine. They pastor a church that ministers to a rural area of India. The villages in their area are very poor. Most of the people are dependent upon agriculture to support themselves and their families. Because the people in the congregation don't have a lot to give, Pastor Krupa's church doesn't have a lot of resources to use in ministering to the people in their area.

We're waiting to hear back from Pastor Kiran to learn more about his church, but here's what we do know. The area is in the grips of idol worship. Pastor Kiran and his congregation go out to the homes of families in the area and witness to them. Thus far, they've seen as many as 300 people come to know Jesus as a result of their ministry. We want to see that number grow! Here are some photos that Pastor Kiran sent to us.

The congregation prepares to share the gospel with the people in the village.

We prayed about it and felt lead to help Pastor Kiran and Jasmine. We couldn't give much, but this is what we're sending.

Our next goal is to obtain 501C non-profit tax designation so that we can accept funds to give more to people like Pastor Kiran and to continue to witness and minister to people online.
