W.O.N JUNE REPORT

WON CHURCHES:
Glory and I are delighted to say that the wind is blowing again in our nation India just like on the day of Pentecost. God’s faithfulness led us to pioneer 30 plus branch churches all in five districts of our state Andhra Pradesh, South India. Most of the churches are pioneered where there is no church. It is our mission and vision to see the body of Christ shall be established in nook end corners and remote villages in India. Two major tribal groups so called KOYA and LAMBADIS are able hear the gospel and has come in to the path of salvation and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Our WON pastors are making difference among those groups and also it has been our privilege to train up the Lambadi group boy in our English medium Bible College this year.
Primarily in our church planting ministries we do built the church with the palm leaf roof (picture is added) and Secondly after the growth of the congregation than we will go for concrete church building. At the moment church constructions are going on in Chodavaram village and Pinapalla Village (sea cost area).
At Orissa state (North India) one of our Bible College recent graduate working on our ministries behalf and started the church planting work at Gajapathi district. This area is covered by the strong Hindu fanatic groups like RSS; VHP who are very much against to the gospel but the God is so good and enabled this man of God to win 13 souls for the Gods kingdom with in the two months of evangelistic work. He sends the prayer request to pray for the disaster area of Orissa State, India. Estimates are that nearly 700,000 people in the Balasore District have been stranded due to the heavy flooding caused by torrential rains. Last week three major rivers began to swell and overflow in the district and even into adjoining areas. Only 4,000 people were able to be evacuated from the worst-hit areas of these 848 villages.
At Manipur (North East India) Our Bible College graduate able to pioneer two congregations among the Hindu populated area with in the two years of evangelistic work. We thank God for the provision to build a wooden church at Chandal district, Manipur.
EAST COAST BIBLE COLLEGE:
On 28th of June the college reopened after the one month summer vacation and the students from Andhra Pradesh arrived safely to the campus but the other states students are still on the way to college, students from Manipur, Orissa, Chattisgardh, Jarkand and Arunachal Pradesh states students are held up at Orissa since all the trains stop due to the collapse of the bridge caused by the torrential rains and heavy floods but the government is finding out the alternative to arrange temporary bridge. Please do pray for the safe arrival of our students to the ECBC campus. We believe for great and blessed academic year for the Bible College students and Vocational training students. Please pray that students shall equip and leave the campus with the vision and passion to reach the un reached places of India.
EAST COAST CHILDREN HOME:
Kids got back to the routine and are busy with their studies. All the kids scored good percentage of marks in their previous grades and promoted to the higher grades. This year two young graduates from our WON central church have voluntarily come forward to help the ECCH kids in their study hours at morning and evening hours. Most of the high school grade kids gone to the TMI boot camp to work for the lord as short term missionaries during their summer vacation and few among them went to Nepal and rests of the kids at campus attended the vacation Bible school and have learned many songs, Bible verses and stories. Every evening they were given time to share their summer vacation experiences, almost every kid has their own experience in Christ to say that they are blessed and wanted to stay as blessed, Can you imagine that your little help brought a wide difference in their lives.
SOME ARE CALLED TO STUDY HISTORY
SOME ARE CALLED TO SPEAK HISTORY
BUT FEW ARE CALLED TO MAKE HISTORY

Thanks for being a person in making history for the glory of God by supporting these kids.
WON VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTER:
For now twelve young girls from the remote villages in our district has come to be trained in Vocational courses. As the technology is developed around the globe, India is also stepping ahead in using the technology in all the areas so the young people who are having some sort of idea in the using of technology are not at all left behind in employment. So, this is a wonderful opportunity to the young girls to be trained at vocational training center to have bright future in their lives.
Once again Glory and I extend our heartfelt thanks to you all. May the good God bless you and keep you safe and sound in all the areas of your lives.
In His Mission
