Ministry at Hubli: I was invited to teach and preach at Hubli City Assembly of God Church. Pastor Dr. Daniel Koti who is a trained Scientist turned to be pastor by the encounter of Lord Jesus.
On 26th I visited Dharwad, met Mr. Wilson Maily and family. We had a meaningful time of prayer and fellowship. God touched this family as we shared the Word and testimony of our Lord. We also visited Mr. Robert and his family. We had a chance to minister to this family and share the fellowship with them.
On 27th Sunday, Smitha and I participated in their two services. I spoke in two services. God seems to be working great things in the church. Pray for pastor and his family as they serve the Lord through this church in north Karnataka.

On 30th Sunday United Basel Mission Church clebrated Harvest Festival. I was invited to speak on that service. I spoke on “Giving your best to the Giver.” It was such a blessed time of being with the people there. I visited many families within the limited time I had. Mr. Joseph Soans helped to take me from place to place in his car. Even though it was raining heavily his help and sacrifice of time enabled me to visit quite a few people.
I also spoke in the “Big J” 24X7, coastal channel. I gave two messages in Kannada.
I may give more messages in the days to come. Hence, please pray for us so that we may do more for the glory of God.
