New Christians homes burning   

Picture

_NOVEMBER 2011

But the sovereign  Lord called out a dear lady from that strict community and she and her family confessed their sins and accepted the lord Jesus as their personal Savior and recently baptism was performed for them. Then last week some Hindu fanatic people came to their houses and warned they not to accept Jesus. If they did, they would harm them and they said and  it was the religion of the LOWER CASTE PEOPLE, etc… But the family didn’t want to forsake Jesus for they saw great things Jesus had done for them.

Among great reasons this poor family stayed only faithful to the one true God, continued in church and attends all Christian activities from the community.  Among the whole colony, this is only family that comes to our church. In this great tribulation of loss, they were stood firm for Christ and the Christ never departed from them. Praise be to God.

Yesterday some people came set fire to the thatched home while these people went to work. When returning home, they came back to nothing left for them to take. Some kind neighbor people did try to some help by trying to quench the fire but it was late. The family lost everything, absolutely nothing left. All their cloths, tools, rice and everything gone. They are left with empty hands.

While thatched home burned, no one showed the kind compassion to call the fire engine.  Such a envy and anger reside in the heart of the colony people, especially on this family and on Jesus Christ.

When I came to know these things, myself and my sons went to help them as we were able, to try and stop fire and for us also it is too late. Our heart are  broken for them. We brought them into my house as a shelter until they get (Or) plant a new thatched home. Please keep this family in your prayers. For all these poor Christian families. Praying that God may provide more comfort and restore whatever they lost. Please show your love and kindness towards your brothers in Jesus Christ. Any additional giving will go to help this family rebuild.

Your brother in Jesus Christ.
