Justus Banuel: January 2010
Dear Pastor and Friends,
Greetings to you in our Lord's Sweet Name.
What a blessing to start a brand new year by sharing with you what God is doing in the land of India! As we reported in our December prayer letter, we started our Christmas outreach program on the 1st of December. We had door-to-door visitation every night other than church nights until the 23rd of December. All 437 churches participated. All together, 751 teams went out with John's Gospels, tracts that had the plan of salvation, and Christmas Greeting Cards. Each group averaged visiting 52 homes each night. We shared the Gospel with thousands of households, Praise the Lord! Through our church ministry, tracts, radio and TV, we had over 1,686 people saved and 372 were baptized during the month of December.
Please help us pray for more funds to support new pastors so we can start more churches. Church planting is the heart of our ministry. Our preacher boys are devoted to their church and work hard to reach out to the people in the villages. Some of them have a ministry area that covers up to 100,000 people. I am grateful that God has blessed our ministry with men who love Him and want to win souls and care about their flock.
My son Allen and I just finished some TV recordings for January. My youngest daughter, Blessy, is taking her Government School Exam in March and Brenda is taking her College Exam in February. Pray the Lord will be with them and give them knowledge and wisdom during their exams. Linda and Andrew were home for Christmas. Isabella and I were so happy to have all the family together.
As you pray for our ministry, you can see our needs by going to our web site - christianityindia.com.
We want to thank everyone who sent Christmas gifts to us. Without your love, support and prayers, we could not make it. Thank you for treating me as one of your family members. I wish my wife and children could meet each one of you. I love you all.
Because of Him,
Justus Banuel
