Winding Up 2020
December 27, 2020 Update
Dear RHM Friends,
Greetings in the Name of our Precious Lord JESUS.
"And this is the testimony: that GOD has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son."
1 John 5:11
Thank you so much, those of you who gave toward this year's Christmas Project. We were fully funded this year, which enabled us to conduct Christmas programs in 7 different villages, providing gifts for the children and snacks for all. It also provided new Christmas dresses for many others, mostly children in need. Thankfully, there was also enough to give a small Christmas bonus to those who are carrying out the ministry of RHM in India.
We can certainly say, along with billions of others, that 2020 has had more than its share of struggles. But in the midst of it all, the Lord led us in unexpected paths in order to reach out to many, many new people who have had a variety of needs. I'm feeling in the Spirit that, in spite of so much doubt and speculation as to what will happen in 2021, the Lord is going to lead us to reach out to many more people in the coming days and months. My prayer is always that, no matter how bad things get in this sin-sick world, the Lord will always miraculously provide for His children, all the way until His return, or until He calls us home.
Only 4 days remaining before we reach the conclusion of 2020. Pray that the Lord will direct the hearts of donors to remember this ministry in India. We are always thankful for the end of the year giving, as it has helped us so much as we go into a new year.
Thank you always for your love, prayers and support! Scroll down to see some of what the Lord is doing through your giving & prayers. Bless you.

Above: Brother Raju is sharing with the children and adults in Marala Narayana, a large colony within another town called Bapatla. Most all the homes are huts, having people from 2 different castes there. This Christmas program was conducted in the part where the poorer caste dwells. Thankfully, this is a colony where the people from the 2 "castes" are willing to mingle with one another, so people from both castes came to the program to hear the Gospel. PTL!

He's now part of our widows & elderly ministry. His wife is about 20 years younger than him, but seems to love him and is taking care of him. Here, they have received monthly rice & other food items.

These young ladies are Phavani (left), Jyothi and Karima, learning the tailoring trade. All of them have financial needs, hoping the tailoring skill will help them earn some income for their families. Seven of the 13 students are single mothers, including Jyothi & Karima.
