September, 2023 Prayer letter 

“In all my years in church, involved with all kinds of missions ministries, I have never before witnessed a ministry like this one.”

Pastor Ron Mandeville recently returned from 

visiting G.S. Nair and the ministry in India. 

Here’s what he discovered…

“Five years ago, God gave me the privilege of visiting with and preaching in the Peoples Baptist Ministries’ colleges.
 
Our Church has known and supported PBMI for over twenty years.

This was not my first trip away from the USA to visit a foreign ministry. 

While I am well acquainted with missions and missionaries, I came back from this three-week trip with a whole new perspective of what God can do when a group of men will give themselves over to the will and calling of God.
 

Because of COVID restrictions, it would be a full five years since my first visit before I could return.
 

In my latest trip, I spent three and half weeks in Central, East and West India.  In that time, I would preach approximately thirty times in a multitude of churches across the country. 
 

At these meetings, we would always be invited to stay, meet and eat dinner with these beautiful people that had fallen head over heels in love with God. 
 

I would see and hear the joy of their hearts as they sang praises to God; the God that had redeemed their lives and given them a beautiful song in their hearts. 
 

Many times, I would preach and they would ask to hear more, so another would preach. 
 

They would thank us for coming and ask us to pray with them and to come back and preach again.  
 

This happened at every single church.  I found in India a people that had turned to God. They had prayed and seen Him work.  
 

I met and talked to people in these churches: some in remote villages and some from the biggest cities, some blessed with much knowledge and wealth and some possibly not knowing from where their next meal would come.  
 

But in every church, I found many people that were filled with joy and enamored with Christ.  The love of Christ flowed from them as a sweet-smelling savor that I know was pleasing to God.
 

I must tell you that in all my years in church, involved with all kinds of missions’ ministries, I have never before witnessed a ministry like this one. 
 

To this day, I do not believe most of us recognize the scope and depth of what is being done for the ministry of the gospel through PBMI. 
 

Their claim that they have planted over 5,000 churches is exactly true.  
 

These are Bible-believing, Bible-preaching churches that are growing Christians that are walking with God ALL-OVER India. 
 

I look forward to returning to India because my heart is blessed and moved with compassion for the work of the ministry every time I go there.  
 

The praise for all of this goes to God. He alone can do what has been done here.
 

Because God is good--all the time,

Pastor Ron Mandeville"
