Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope everyone is doing well. Remember everything in your life whether good or bad has a purpose. Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
We have been planning and getting everything prepared for the revival/crusade meeting on May 6th and May 7th. May God receive all the glory! Please pray for this revival meeting. Pray for protection ( we will have police protection) and that many will be encouraged and that many will rededicate their lives to Christ and pray for those who don't know Jesus Christ that they may believe and receive Him. This will be the first crusade in this town (Orissa, Gunupur). So we are very excited that the Lord will use Shmash Ministries. Thank you for your prayers and support. Praise the Lord!
Also I have some sad news. We have decided that its best for I and Janessa to return to the states until we are financially stable. These last couple of months, we have been struggling financially. It is extremely hard for me now that the Lord has provided a beautiful gift (Janessa). We would like to provide her needs without struggles, the best way that we can in the U.S. for now. This was a difficult decision for both of us. My husband will stay in India to study in a bible college. Pray that the Lord may bring us back soon in the future to have a stable home, financial situation and pray for Shmash Ministries that it may continue to glorify the Lord.
Thank you once again. Thank you for those who read our newsletters and thank you for the sponsors (orpahanage). Thank you sincerely for those who are praying for the ministry.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Praise the Lord, I will see you soon! Keep pressing on for the Lord is good always.
In His Service
