man and his wife helped Rs. 116.00 for the Makkenavripalem Church of
Christ building which was constructed up to foundations level due to
lack of funds.

Regarding the Building: I am able to raised the funds to build the
construction at this level . Al of this money was raised here in
India from our brothers and sisters .It includes my family
construction too. I started this construction on 9th May ,1997. It
needs your prayers and help to complete the Building. If we build
this building I will fill building with the God's children to worship
Him.

I like to tell you about a family from Makkenavaripalem Church of
Christ, name of the brother is Lakkepogu Lingaiah. His wife was died
when their children was very young. Then he married another girl
named as Manohari. She too has a child by him. Children of the first
wife is not able to adjust with their step mother. They are blaming
that she is not taking care of them. She blamed that they are not
respecting me like their mother and not accept her son( I named this
boy as Mahesh Babu with the prayers 5 years back) as their brother.
In this quarrel I gave counseling to this family with the word of
Lord.

I usually assist the people to brig them to the hospital when they
are sic. Some times I used to help as the funds available. I started
the congregation in Yenugupalem few years back. It is in the district
of Guntur, Vinukonda Mandalam (Mandalam is a part of the district).
We have good family there named as Kalava Raju . They called me to
see and pray for their son who is sic . Their son's name is Samuel.
I bring him to the hospital in Narasaraopet, After the several
testes doctor advised us to bring him to the big hospital. I send
them to the hospital in Guntur and then they asked us to brig him to
the hospital named as NIMS, that is located in our stated capital
Hyderabad. They concluded that he suffering with cancer in his
stomach. They are using medicines , but hopeless this boy may die
very soon.

And I visited another sic named as Manda Kotamma who is the grand
mother of boy Benergy from Ramanjaneyapuram Church of Christ.. We
named this boy in the last month. This Kotamma is suffering with
allergy, gastric trouble and has less blood. She has only 40 percent
of blood. I assisted her to bring to hospital. I visited some other
sic in other congregations too. Please pray for this sic.

I attended and lead a marriage program in Chilakaluripeta Church of
Christ on 21 of the February. Bride name is Pulukuri Anil, Bride
groom's name is Baby. You can see other couple too that marriage was
performed on 18th . 3 days before this marriage, The girl from the
couple is sister of the present bridegroom.

In the month of February I had an opportunity to I had an opportunity
to work for prisoners who are in Sub Jail in Ongole. As you know one
of Makkenavaripalem Church members son(D.Koteswara Rao ) was there. I
sent him a Bible and songs book ( songs book printed by us in the
last year) And I distributed 9 new Testaments in the jail. Now that
boy D.Koteswara Rao was came to home on bail. I am trying to teach
him and giving counseling. Pray for this boy.

I distributed Telugu Truth for Today books for the 9 preachers. And
some 45 sent out to the areas for the free distribution through our
preachers. And I have some of the old Truth for Today books too. I
made them available in my home. There are some old copes of that
books.
