“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” Luke 10:2
Dear Friends, Greetings from India in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
It is our privilege and honor to share with you what the Lord is doing in our land. We humble ourselves before God and thank Him for you our dear supporters and prayer partners whose love, prayers, and sacrifice are impacting our nation for His glory. Thank you for standing with us to proclaim the living God in a heathen land.
In our region, many young adults are being drawn into darkness through drugs, cybercrimes, and destructive lifestyles that blind them to their true future. But God gave us the burden and courage to conduct a Mega Youth Meeting in our village.
For the first time, nearly 2,000 young people attended. Our church could only seat 1,000, so we put up tents outside, arranged big screens, and placed sound systems for those outside to hear the Word of God.
In the morning session, the presence of God descended mightily through heartfelt worship and the preaching of His Word. The Holy Spirit touched the hearts of the young people in a powerful way, and more than 900 surrendered their lives to Christ, making a decision to follow Him. Truly, it was a time of great spiritual revival, as we witnessed the fire of God stirring a new generation for His glory.
In the afternoon session, a retired judge and police officer spoke powerfully about the dangers of drugs and cybercrimes, and how faith in God can protect their future.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
We rejoice that God protected us from any disturbances, and the Holy Spirit guided us with new strategies to reach this new generation.
We also traveled with our senior pastors across Andhra Pradesh state and Telangana state to meet our branch church pastors. Together we conducted small pastors’ seminars, encouraged leaders, and in some churches, appointed
new elders and deacons.
Satan is attacking pastors and churches with fear and persecution, but through fellowship and teaching, the Lord gave much-needed spiritual strength to His servants. We stand together as one body of Christ, overcoming the enemy by faith.
During our village ministry journey, we often faced dangerous weather. Sometimes our vehicles passed through floodwaters nearly 3–4 feet high, yet the faithful hand of God protected us and gave us guidance to reach pastors and leaders with His encouragement.
Currently, the festive season is going on in our Telugu-speaking states. Our children received short school holidays and visited their homes, but now they are back and continuing their studies. Unfortunately, due to heavy rains, many children are suffering from viral fevers, typhoid, and dengue. We
humbly request your prayers for their healing.
We, the New Hope family, are deeply grateful to all our supporters and prayer partners. Because of your love, we are able to :
Reach the new generation with the gospel.
Plant new churches.
Encourage pastors and leaders.
Care for children physically, spiritually, and educationally.
We never forget your partnership in God’s kingdom. Be assured that we are continuously praying for your families, churches, and businesses that the Lord may bless you abundantly and use you for His glory.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we press forward in the mission of Christ.
With love and gratitude,
In Christ’s love and Grace,
Pastor Prabhudas & Ruth Papabathini

Thank You for Partnering With Us!
