Justus Banuel: April 2006
Dear Pastor and Friends,
Greetings to you in our Lord's Sweet Name.
The month of March was so tough for me and my family. I was staying with my daughter, Brenda, to help her during her 10th Grade State Level Exams. We were several hours away from my home and only had the chance to see the other members of the family on Saturday night and Sunday. While there, I became ill and was put in the hospital but God took care of me and everything is fine now. Brenda did well on her exams. Her results will be published the week of June 1st. This is a very important time for her and I am thankful I was able to be with her and help her. There are more then one million students who took the Exam in one state.
We were able to start 3 more churches, which brings our total to 356. While I was staying in KTC Nagar City with Brenda, I was able to win many people to the Lord. When we left on April 7th, many of the people began to cry. I told them I would be back very often. I am praying to start a church there. It is a city where it would cost more than normal to build a church but if that is God’s will, I know our needs will be met.
VBS has started throughout all our churches. Our preacher boys will be traveling across the state teaching Bible lessons to the children in all 356 churches. We are all thankful to the Lord and Praising His Sweet Name for meeting our need for Bibles for VBS.
As of now, we still have 67 congregations that need a church building. What a blessing it is to have this problem and we pray that God will continue to provide the necessary funds for these buildings. The cost is $4000 in the coastal area and $6000 in the inland area.
My boy Allen is back from Bible school. He will be with us helping me until the end of June. In July, he will go back for his 3rd year at the Bible College. Please pray the Lord will use him during these months.
Our new school year starts in June. We are praying that God will send us many new students and will give us the opportunity to reach their parents and tell them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the beginning of your chance to help one of these students with a one time amount of $50 that pays their tuition, buys their uniform and helps buy some of their books. Please feel free to contact Sister Rita if you are interested in helping..
Sister Rita is working with our ministry as a volunteer and she is available to visit our supporting churches and give a report about the work, as well as visit new churches and present our ministry. She wants to help us raise money for church buildings, students, orphans, pastors and all the other needs of our ministry. Her desire is to help us win millions of souls in India. Every penny she raises goes straight to the ministry in India, none is for her personal support. She made it very clear to me that God had provided her with a good retirement and now she wants to use all our time and efforts toward working for the kingdom of God through our ministry. If any of you need to contact her to arrange a visit or for any other reason, you can reach her by email: [removed] or by phone: 770-364-0899, or by mail: Rita McDuffie, PO Box 849, Hiram, GA 30141.
Thank you for you love, prayers and faithful support to preach Jesus to Indian people. We will use every dollar to win souls in India.
Because of Him,
Justus Banuel
