G.S. baptizes a new believer

It was particularly joyous that two girls from our Tsunami Home were baptized along with others on April 1st by Dr. Nair. 

Many more baptism services are scheduled in the coming weeks across different states.

Goals and Achievements

Originally, our goal was to reach over half a million people with the gospel during this 10-week ministry, primarily through teams of graduating students. 

However, the initiative expanded as more students, Extension School graduates, laymen, pastors, and believers joined, constrained by the love of God and motivated by Dr. G. S. Nair's inspiring messages during graduation services and pastoral meetings in states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Odisha, and Telangana. 

It was a really exciting and rejoicing time as people came forward with the burden for souls.

The family meeting in the Nabarangapur district of Odisha state, was a tremendous blessing, and a revival was evident as Dr. Nair delivered Spirit-led messages from the Scriptures. 

He plans to continue this momentum in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, and other states, organizing additional teams.

Future Plans and Needs

By summer’s end, we will have more than 110 teams in the field, comprising over 1,000 individuals, visiting half a million households and reaching at least 700,000 to 800,000 people with the gospel.

Each team will visit 50 to 70 houses weekly, distributing a large quantity of gospel pamphlets, tracts, and Bibles. 

We have already distributed over 7,000 Bibles in recent months and urgently require more Bibles and gospel literature.

Call for Support and Prayers

We request your fervent prayer and practical support as new teams form. 

We also need funding for travel as well as additional vehicles.

 We are confident that many new churches will be established through this Summer Ministry.  

Some teams, especially those with graduated students, will continue to work towards planting Bible-believing local churches in various unreached areas. 

As co-laborers, we need much prayer for the safety of our people, as the summer heat is intense, and there are persecutions and opposition in many states. 

Two of our teams in Karnataka faced opposition from anti-Christian groups, and one of our vehicles was seized by the police, which we hope to recover legally soon.

Gratitude and Encouragement

Despite opposition and the ongoing national election procedures, we are excited to continue our work in the field for the Lord, confident that He will help His children for His glory and the expansion of His kingdom.

We do thank God for Dr. Nair; for his vision, passion for souls, and enthusiasm to go from place to place, to be the Lord’s witness to the perishing world while despite his physical difficulties. 

Please keep him in your prayers, especially for his health as he travels extensively and ministers to many groups in the coming days.

Thank you all for your love, concern, prayers, and practical support for the Lord’s ministry. 
 

May the Lord richly reward you from above.

Regards,
Mathan Kurian 

P.S. from Jack McElroy: 

As you have read, now there are over 1,000 involved in this Summer Ministry Gospel Outreach.  

We didn’t expect this unprecedented, wholehearted and spirit-led response from God’s people. 

G.S. said he sees no reluctance in the brethren for going out to win souls. 

The financial need has gone way beyond our anticipated need and is GREAT. 
 

Please consider supporting a team for 10 weeks ($3,500), for one week ($350) or for one day ($50).
