Request for the church project at Kalavai

For discussion on Friday 5th of September.

"Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Loving greetings in the sweet name of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. It's my privilege to share my God-given burden with you
through this letter.

Sankarachariyar, a prominent leader of Hindu religion, who
is supposed to be the king maker of our country, lives in Kanchipuram
town, which is located 75km from Chennai. He has another residence in
Kalavai village, which is 120km from Chennai.

In 2002, there was not a single Christian family living
here. Pastor Sam, alumnus of Showers of Blessing Bible College, with
the help of Showers of Blessing Ministries, went to that village and
started a ministry in the year 2002. He took the greatest challenge to
live and serve Christ, in a place full of challenges. We conducted
many Gospel meetings and many missionaries came from foreign countries
and ministered in this village. The Good News of Jesus Christ and the
intense exposure to the Word of God touched their souls, renewed their
mind and resulted in their salvation and healing. The healing of a
lady with an unsound mind and a lame person brought about a revival in
that village. Now we have given baptism to about 350 people in that
village and the church is growing very fast.

We have also started churches in hamlets near Kalavai and
souls are being added in every village.

With your support,the pastor took up a rented house. Above his house,
we erected a thatched roof and the church was functioning from that
place for the past few years. The owner of the house has asked them
to vacate the place. The other non-Christian landlords are not willing
to give their place for building a church. Now the believers have no
place to meet and worship. We prayed and decided to purchase a piece
of land and build a church. The total budget to buy the land of 6000
sq.ft and build a church of 1800 square feet costs RM 150.000/.

The church members and I will be grateful if you could
donate liberally for this project. I am sure our Lord will bless you
more for your gesture..

May God bless you abundantly.

In God's ministry,
E. Samuel Mohanraj
