In our Prayers

Church, please continue to pray for our friends in India who are undergoing incredible political persecution. Read the email sent from Dr. Samuel Thomas and let's be in prayer for Sam, M.A., and all of the leaders, pastors, Christians, and children.

Dear saints,

Greetings in Jesus' name!

"... the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

God is all-wise, and He imparts wisdom to those who fear Him.

"O Lord God, there is no one like you in heaven above or on earth below. You are a God of mercy and a keeper of promises. Not even the heaven or the heaven of heavens can contain you. Yet you hear the cry of your servants who pray before you day and night. Teach us to fear you all the days we live on the earth. Grant us your compassion. Teach us the good way in which we should walk and incline our hearts to yourself, to walk in all your ways and to keep your commands and judgments. May your eyes be open to our supplication, and your ears open to our cry."

We thank you for your fervent prayers and for sending the faxes to the VIP's of India.

Today as per the promise of the militants they did come to overtake, but the police refused to assist them. Now, they are very upset with police and chief minister of our state. The militant are saying that the officials are now betraying hindus and helping Christians (Like I said before the fight is between light and darkness. God and satan).

When the militants came, a group of another political party came and stood against them. They said that we will not allow you to take any children from the hospital or from the orphanage. It really was a tensed day in Kota city.

We know without a shadow of doubt that the only reason they did not succeed, is because righteous people were praying for the children, all over the world.

We are encouraged when we hear that you are praying for us in your church, bible study, Sunday school class, and personally. We can feel the power of prayer. The enemy is not able to fulfill their mission, because your prayers have protected the children.

Tonight the on state TV news channel "eTV", Mr.Madan Dilawar said that I will do all what I can after the "Holi" festival on the 15th of March,2006 to ensure that no Christian ministry will continue in Kota or in Rajasthan and specially of Hopegivers/Emmanuel.

Please keep praying, our back accounts are still ceased, our license is still cancelled, we are still buying things with maximum premium.

Today we have received three more names of people who are helping Mr.Madan Dilawar. We need to pray for them also (be specific in our prayers), Mr. Prahalad Pawar. Mr. Om Birla Ji, Mr.Bhawani Singh ji. These men are the ones leading the mob in Kota against orphanage.

Please keep praying, these next ten days could be very crucial for the children and for the work of Hopegivers/Emmanuel. I know that Philippians 1:6 is true. No matter what happens to both of us in these ten days. The Lord will continue His work.

Have a blessed day in the Lord. Thank you again for praying for us.

Please do not forget that we are always in need of your prayers and for your financial support.

If the Lord is leading you today to help us with the "legal defense fund" or with the "orphan and school children fund" please call 1-866-373-4673 or go to our website (www.hopegivers.com).

Thanks!

Our Hope is in Him!
