Report of the Family Seminar at Methodist Church

Greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ!
We had family seminar in a Methodist church at Gulbarga, north Karnataka. We thank God for enabling us to encourage, repair, admonish and challenge the families of Methodist church in north Karnataka. This is an old church having a long history behind it. Two pastors of this local church and also few other pastors of the other denominational churches also participated.

Participants were quite receptive and open to learn. End of the seminar we got an encouraging feed back from the participants and pastors which satisfied our ministry, calling and investment in this service.
We thank Dr. Sukrut Raj who coordinated this seminar. He literally had to run around families after families in order to motivate them to attend the seminar. He also picked us up from the Railway station and put us in his relative’s home. He worked hard to make this seminar successful. Please for his involvement in the ministry in the villages in and around Gulbarga district. Please pray for him and for his family. He said that he was blessed by the seminar and it was worthwhile having in this church. He also said that he would organize one more Family Seminar for about 100 rural pastors and their wives, who are connected with him in the ministry probably in the month of April, 2007.

We also express thank to Mr. Vijay Hebbal and his wife Mrs. Jessie Hebbal who accompanied me as resource persons along with me. Mr. Vijay Hebbal is a National director of “Ambassador For Christ,” Bangalore.
We sincerely thank those who have prayed, supported and encouraged us. May the Lord continue to use you and me to make impact in the state of Karnataka as much as we can.
