Dear Partners in Christ,

Greetings to each one of you in the matchless name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

By His Grace and all your prayers I am back from my mission trip to India. I had an amazing ministry both evangelistic and medical for 3 wks in different parts of India. Along with my local partner, Dr. Christopher I could conduct medical camps in six villages and towns in Chennai, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. We examined a total of thousand patients and gave them free medication. We performed few major and minor surgical procedures as per the need. God enabled us to conduct evangelical meetings, Ladies seminars, and revival meetings in every place we had medical camp. God gave me opportunity to preach the Gospel in five churches in three different states of India. Many came forward to accept the Lord as their personal Savior, many recommitted their lives to become His disciples, many were motivated to evangelise, and many got healed both from physical, emotional, and spiritual bondages.

 Though the whole trip was challenging in terms of very exhaustive hot weather, unsafe road ordeals, and absolutely unhygienic conditions we could clearly witness the Lord going before us wherever we went to make the way clear and safe for us. He made us realize at every step all through the trip that whatever we have accomplished in this trip was only through His strength and His Grace.

 I want to take this opportunity to thank first all my partners from the bottom of my heart for your ardent prayer support. For sure I know that only because of your prayer support our mission trip was successful hundred percent. I also want to thank all those who have gone an extra mile to support financially the medical mission. In this trip other than giving free medication to more than 1000 people we could also give financial support to many deserving widows, evangelists, children's orphanages, and free lunch to more than 200 ladies who attended the Ladies seminar.

 I have invitations to go to all the places I have gone the last two years and also to many other states in the Northern parts of India next year where there is more persecution of Christians. It will be another kind of challenge but God always prepares His servants before He sends. I am extremely excited and look forward to make the trip in 2016. I have already started praying asking him to use me with the double portion of His anointing and add more team members both from here and from abroad who have the same vision to physically travel with me and witness the great things God is doing through our obedience and submission to His call and be encouraged to take the step of faith to serve Him in future as the Lord leads them.

 All through the journey God kept me and our team safe and in good health. He also kept my family safe while I was away. Thanks once again for your precious prayers and financial support.

God Bless,

Your sister in Christ,

Rachel Varghese
