Dear brother, first of all I am very sorry to inform you that many areas in our State are suffering from severe floods. Many villages and towns are buried under rainy water and thousands of people died in floods. People are suffering due to lack of food, water and shelter. Our government is taking care of thousands of flood victims. We never see such terrible floods in our life time. Many big bridges were collapsed and highways are broken. People lost their beloved ones, homes and properties. Pray for all the flood victims in our State. God heard your prayers and we are spared from floods. In a most miraculous way River Godavari which is passing through Raja is now so calm.

God protected our area from floods with His immense grace. I am so glad to inform you that we are so safe here in Satellite City. KES students, orphans, teachers, pastors, widows, leper friends and parents are safe during the floods in our state. Once again thank you so much for your prayers for KES family in India. God is good all the times. Once again He proved in our lives. However, we are praying and planning to do some service like distribution of food packets, medicines, water, blankets and clothes for the flood victims. KES did tremendous service in the past during natural calamities like floods, hurricanes and Tsunami. Please pray for some donations for KES during this time to support flood victims. Once again we are praising God for His immense grace and protection upon our family and KES Ministry during the floods. Please continue your prayers for my family and KES Ministry.

Dear brother, by the grace of God, we are able to continue KES School and Orphanage. After Dasara vacation we resumed all the schools today. Students and teachers returned back to schools safely. They had many fond memories with their friends and family members. Pray for KES teachers, supporting staff, dinning hall staff, security guards, pastors, prayer warriors, widows and leper friends. Pray for KES schools students, orphans and special needs children. Pray for good health and strength for all KES Orphans during rainy season. Many people are dying from Swine Flu in our country, but God has been granting good health for all our orphans, students and KES family members.

Dear brother, please continue your prayers for me and Grace to continue KES Ministry to bring thousands of people towards saving experience. Satan is working over time to ruin my family and KES ministry. But we are getting new strength from God each day. God has been filling our hearts with His Holy Spirit and Peace. Pray for good health and strength for me and Grace. Pray for John Jr. and Mounika as they are studying in Universities.

Dear brother, please pray for needed funds for KES School and Orphanage day to day operational expenses. We are looking towards God to continue KES projects to bring glory and honor to His Name. Amen. We are in need of your prayer support and encouragement from time to time. When ever you find time, please send encouraging messages to continue KES Ministry for the sake of many poor and needy. We are so thankful and grateful to you for all you are doing for KES Ministry during this difficult time.

Dear brother, yesterday we had blessed worship service in CWC. As always many people attended and blessed. KES Choir sang many songs and touched each heart. Many prayer warriors did special prayers before worship service and prepared the place with Holy Spirit. We had heart touching testimonies from many believers. We had Holy Communion service and about 500+ people took part in the service and blessed. Sister Grace delivered first message from Psalm. We had praise and worship service for half an hour. We enjoyed the Heaven on Earth during worship service. Yesterday I delivered message on “Victory over Wicked” taking scripture text from John 16:33. God spoke with me to deliver message on above subject and granted His thoughts from the Bible. As a matter of fact I too facing many problems from wicked people and pastors and they are trying to ruin KES Ministry. But God has been interfering from time to time and showing a way to come out of all evil tricks from wicked people. When I was delivering message, God spoke with me too not to worry for all the sufferings we are facing on daily basis. God filled my heart with His peace, strength and spirit. Praise the Lord. All the members of CWC congregation deeply moved with God’s Word. At the time of alter call many people came forward to dedicate and re-dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ. I would like to share the same message for you, feel free to share your thoughts.

VICTORY OVER SUFFERINGS

Our Lord Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. John 16:33

Look at the life of David. As a shepherd boy, he always praised God by singing and dancing. Once when he was tending his father’s sheep, he had to face a lion and at another time a bear. But on both the occasions he went out after them and struck them (I Samuel 17:34,35). Again, he had to face many more tribulations in his life. But he always trusted the Almighty God. That is why the Lord abided with him and delivered him all his troubles and tribulations. Yes, he received the wisdom and guidance from God to defeat and kill the Philistine giant Goliath also. On many occasions King Saul sought ways to kill David. This resulted in the families of Saul and David waging a long drawn battle but David prospered day by day. The Lord of hosts abided with him and guided him to safety and success.

When David and his men were in Ziklag, his enemies invaded the south, burned it with fire and had taken captive women and all others including his wives and children. Though David was distressed yet he strengthened himself in the Lord his God. (I Samuel 30:6). And, finally David recovered all that he had lost including his two wives, sons and daughters (I Samuel 30:18,19). And David reigned over all Israel. Our Lord Jesus also was born of the seed of David. God has risen up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David. (Luke 1:69)

Dear in Christ, when you are oppressed and distressed in your lives, strengthen yourself in the Lord. Then, whatever you had lost in your life will be restored to you in a double measure by the grace of God.

The Bible says “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.”

Accordingly, when we do good amidst people who are in tears and troubles God Almighty by His grace will help us to shine for our Lord Jesus. Esther was an ordinary Jewish woman. But, the Lord exalted her to become King Ahasuerus’s queen in a miraculous way. The Haman, a wicked man made a plot with the consent of the king to kill all the Jews in the nation and a day was also fixed for this genocide. At that time, it was told to Esther that she alone and no one else could save the Jewish people. When she heard this, first she did not know what to do. But she did one thing. She fasted, knelt down and prayed to the Lord. This made her find favor in the eyes of King Ahasuerus. Thus, she saved the Jewish people from destruction and helped them receive light and gladness, joy and honor.

Dear in Christ, how many of you are hiding yourselves in corners, covering your head and lamenting that you have no way, wisdom and knowledge. Accordingly the time has come for every one of you to arise and shine. Be filled with His spirit and cry out to Him, saying, “Lord, Strengthen me and use me for Your glory”, then He will surely help you to stand and shine for Him in a mighty way. When you trust Him in midst of your sorrow and sufferings, He will strengthen your soul and uphold you. He will give you all the victory you need. He made me to shine for Him. He will surely make you also to shine for Him. Amen.

O.K. dear brother and family, I will close my message here. May the Lord bless each one of you, and grant you the privilege to have communion with Him. Our love to you and every one there. Share our love and greetings with all the members in your church. Love to you from sister Grace, John Jr. and Mounika. KES staff, students, orphans and pastors are sending their love to you. Looking forward to see your return message within few hours, until later may God bless you with His love, peace and grace.

God bless,

Yours loving family in your hearts and prayers,

Brother John, sister Grace, John Jr. and Mounika.
