2014 OCTOBER

September news from the President’s table

My dear all......

Heart felt Greetings in the name of our Lord and the Saviour Jesus Christ from Bro. Santhi Raaz. Hope you read the last month’s newsletter and praised God. It’s a blessed time to meet you once again, to share great deeds that God has done among us in the month of September. As we prayed all the month, for what I have kept before you, is answered by God for His Glory.

Cottage prayers on 8th and 9th

It was a burning desire in my heart, to preach the gospel through cottage prayers. So those the people who do not attend the church, hear His word by reaching over there. The spirit of God moved among us in the 7th worship and the believers have come forward willingly to hold the meetings in their houses. As I had only two days left in my schedule, I could hold only in two places. Many were touched by the gospel in the cottage prayers. Pray that this ministry be continued in the years to come and God to answer the prayers.

Church dedication at Peda Kakani on 11th

Finally, on 11th September 'Sharon Tabernacle Church’ was dedicated in Pedakakani. All these years members assembled in the houses. The dedicated church is an old house, given away for God, by Bro B. Deva Doss the local IBM pastor.

Pastors’ meeting on 11th

IBM Pastors meeting was held on 11th September. All the thirteen pastors were gathered and are strengthened by the WORD, preached by me. We have been praying since long time to support pastors at least in a little way. God helped to make our minds to meet through our earnings from the month of October. Please pray to keep ourselves strong to continue and add more hands to serve in a better way.

Preparations for Church Construction at Head Quarters

Please keep praying for the construction of a bigger church in Head Quarters. God led a God fearing engineer, who volunteered to prepare structural plans and guides the construction of the Church buildings. All is set to start construction with the little amount in hand on 17th October. It’s the birth anniversary of my father Late Rev. Dr. K. Manoharam; the founder of IBM, The cost of the finished structure is estimated to Rs. One crore (Rs. Ten millions /$16,000). “Jehovah-Jireh” (God is my provider).

School-Children Ministry

Bro Moses Kumar has taken the charge of the Church at Badampudi on 7th. God gave us a vision to start a “School going-children ministry”. The school children are given mid-day meal in the schools. After school hours they linger in the streets, as their parents come late at night after a daylong struggle for bread, children retire to bed without study and sometimes food even. We are prepared to provide them meal and education with prayer-hour at nights. We wish to extend this service to the other needy churches of IBM.

Please praise for the things, what He has done in September and pray for the on-going works in October.

Yours in Christ…

(Bro. KZM SANTHI RAAZ)
