New Hope Ministries – India Newsletter
Dear Friends,
Greetings from India in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Warm Christmas wishes to you and your families in this blessed season. As we enter this joyful time of remembering the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our hearts are filled with gratitude for His indescribable gift and for your faithful partnership.
In a nation filled with thousands of festivals and innumerable gods, Christmas becomes a divine opportunity for us to lovingly introduce the only true, living God to our friends, neighbors, and unreached communities. This month our Pastors will conduct special outreaches, our youth will present dramas, and our children’s home choir is preparing new songs to share the message of salvation. With wholehearted worship, we proclaim that Jesus alone is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
We sincerely thank all our prayer and financial partners who faithfully stand with us. Your love has opened doors for the Gospel in villages that were once opposed to the truth. Through your support, the light of Christ is shining in the East, and many hearts are being drawn to Him.
The children in our home are eagerly waiting for their Christmas clothes and gifts, and as a big New Hope family we will enjoy a fellowship lunch,
rejoicing together in the presence of the Lord.
We praise God for the completion and dedication of a new sanctuary in an unreached area, this is one of the greatest miracles we witnessed this year. The dedication service was attended by the village mayor, leaders, politicians, and police officers. They all heard the Gospel and worshiped with us.
For seven years we prayed for land in this village. We faced many obstacles, opposition, and spiritual warfare. But our faithful God moved a non-Christian man to sell us land, and He moved three influential leaders to support us so
that we could complete the sanctuary.
Satan may trouble God’s work, but he cannot stop the will and plan of God. The dedication of this sanctuary is a powerful testimony of His sovereignty.
By God’s grace and your partnership, New Hope continues to:
Plant churches in needy and unreached villages
Raise new leaders through Bible school training
Nurture poor and downtrodden children
Conduct youth meetings that transform young lives
Comfort broken-hearted women and support widows
Provide education for children from illiterate families
Bring hope to neglected communities
Reach the unreached through Gospel outreaches
Every life touched, every child lifted, and every church planted is the fruit of your love, generosity, and prayers.
We deeply appreciate your commitment and partnership in fulfilling God’s Great Commission with us. Our doors are always open for you to come and see firsthand the harvest your seeds have produced.
Please continue to pray for New Hope Ministries.
We are continuously praying for your families, churches, businesses, and for God’s blessings upon your nation.
May the love of Jesus fill your hearts this Christmas.
May His peace rest upon your homes. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
With love and gratitude,
In Christ’s love and Grace,
Pastor Prabhudas & Ruth Papabathini
and the New Hope Ministries
Thank You for Partnering With Us!
