I am able to conduct the worship services in 3 congregations. church of Christ in Makkenavaripalem, Church of Christ in Ramanjaneyapuram and church of Christ in Subbaiahpalem Church of Christ. We have good growth in the congregations spiritually.
Due to lack of roof , I hurriedly conducted the worship services for Subbaiahpalem church of Christ in two places . I mean in two houses. Its happened two times. As you know some people disturbed the church in Subbaiahpalem and we are blessed and able to rebuild its roof and other repairs.
I have seen it is works good to visit families individually and also the sic. I used to visit all of the church members houses and also some other families in the village. I love the people to teach them about Love. It is what Lord Christ teach us. On one of the Sunday I remember it is 15th October, I find one brother has became sic and terrible facing high fever. Usually i am conducting worship at 8.00 in Ramanjaneyapuram church of Christ. When i go to the congregation in Ramanjaneyapuram I find a brother suffering with sever fever and also shivering with fever. So that I arranged my motor cycle to bring him to the registered medical practitioner, Usually all of the doctors in India are preferred to do their practice in Cities only. So there will be no only doctors in the villages. But there are some people who worked in the cities as compounder are working as private medicinal practitioners in the villages. This compounder( male nurse) treated him and he is better now. But at that time unfortunately my motor cycle light failed But He protected on my way and safely reached to my home.
In these days I met the Rythunagar congregation several times. It is a very remote congregation. There is no government busses are any private busses. A Jeep will run to this village once in a day. I started congregation there. One brother conducting(who is auto driver) the worship there and I often visiting to them and strengthen them. Most of them are higher cast people and have their own land to raise rise. I am trying to encourage them to build a prayer shed or building on their own. Now they have already the land for it.
And I was invited to preach for a family in Hyderabad on the occasion of their son’s birthday.(it is state capital) .He is a joint director in educational department in Hyderabad. His name is P.Prabhakar Rao. They are not Christians. I preached on Psalms 1:1. And ask them to come to truth and obey Him and honor His church. They are thinking about it.
On 1st of October, I rushed to Chennupalli village to preach for a thanks giving family prayer in the house of Bro.Tangiral Yohanu. In the past my father B.Paul worked there, I baptized there. Now my brother working there. It is Sunday and I just visited the family pray for their family and went to Ramnajaneyapuram church of the worship. But I preached in a funeral of Sis.Chilaka Mangamma. On 14 of the October.And 3 months back .
I worked for a sister’s family to set right them. Her name is Eeswaramm from the congregation Subbaiahpalem. Now her mother attending for the church services and trying to live honest to his wife. And he is very neared to the baptism. I hope it will be done very soon. And I am visiting to a Hindu old lady in Subbaiahpalem village. Her name is Rathamma. I am able to teach her the truth. But she need some more teaching.
I attended and preached for two burial in Makkenavaripalem church of Christ. One brother name is Dara Brhmaiah and other sister’s name is Dondapati Adimma. I want to tell few lines of about this sister. She and her husband ( name is Dondapati Balakotaiah) This Bro.Balakotaiah and Sis.Adimma were baptized (as the first people) by me in that village. At the time of starting the work in Makkenavaripalem many people object me not to start the congregation there. There are 3 other denomination in this big village. When we tried to purchase land for the church of Christ building they strongly object the people not to give the land for church of Christ. At that time this Bro.Blakotaiah and Sis.Adimma stand on my side and sold their site of the church building. And in that land building was started and able to build the foundations and also 12 pillars(columns) up to 4 feet. We need your prayers to complete that building which was started on 9th May 1997.
I distributed 50 small print Holy Bibles and 15 large print Holy Bibles in our congregations. I have some more 25 small print Holy Bibles and 9large print Holy Bible for the distribution for the needy. And also I distributed 10 songs books and Telugu Truth for Today books. They are happy to have a bible for their own and thank God for it.
And it is good to inform you that some 9 orphans are in my care. They are living with me in house. They are lovely kids.
I am praying for you and your families. I am able to do all of this work with your kind prayers, encouragement and help. I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me. Philippians 4:13Please continue to pray for me, my health, my family and for our Lords work in India and its needs.In the Love of the Lord.Yours brother in ChristB.Esudas.
