Missionary Sam Kalwala has been laboring faithfully to reach the lost souls of the slums of India. The following is an excerpt from his recent report.

Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. By God's grace through your prayers we are fine here and God's ministry is continuously going on well. We are preaching the Gospel in the villages as well as in the towns. All our Pastors are also faithfully serving God. We praise God for you and appreciate all the help that you have been giving for the extension of our God's Kingdom in India. During our last meeting, around 3,500 people attended during three days. 345 decisions were made. Around 26 people are ready to take Baptism and soon we are going to have that Baptisms service. Please continue to pray for us and for the ministry in India.

We rejoice over GOD’s amazing hand moving in the nation of Pakistan and hundreds of families receive the Word of GOD for the very first time. Missionary Akbar Masih has been reaching into dozens of villages and towns—preaching and distributing Scripture.

Our plans for this year include consolidating Blessed Hope Baptist Church and Blessed Hope Baptist School into one building which will be built on the existing property. PRAISE THE LORD, the land is paid for and the foundation is built, but now we are raising the funds for the bricks for both buildings. Please pray as we try to build these buildings as quickly as possible for the furtherance of the Gospel and for the efficiency of the ministry. At this point, we are renting 2 spaces for the school because it has grown so much. We are trusting our GOD to provide this great need.

Dear friends

May the love of Father and his grace be always with you. It’s my pleasure to write you that the meeting was held in290 GB AHAMADABAD on 18th of march. The meeting was so very much successful, there were people from 291, 284, 285 and 290 GB gathered. The meeting was started at 10 am and was continued to 1:00 pm. The theme of the meeting was “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” It was teach that what is preaching of the Gospel and how the preaching of the Gospel is so important for us. Who are saved and who are perished according to the Bible. At the end of the meeting people were invited that would you like to be a saved person or want to be perish. Anyone can be a saved if he accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord and repent on his sins. 17 people stand on their feet and accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord and prayed for their forgiveness. Hallelujah.

The Bibles, CDs, the Books Blood of Jesus and The Salvation were distributed among the people. Lunch was also served to the people who were come from the other villages. All of the people in meeting prayed for all our benefactors who are working hard for the development of the faith in Pakistan where it real need to work. Thanks for the support of Bibles and prayers. May God shower his blessing upon everyone who are supporting and praying for us to work in Pakistan through Sermon and Song and ABMI! Bye for now God bless you.

Your brother in Christ

After years of prayer and months of planning and preparation, GOD has blessed the Lamar Whittemore family and the Harvest Baptist Church with the opportunity to own and operate a 20,000 watt Gospel radio station. By human definition, we have a long way to go, but GOD is able and we are trusting HIM to expedite HIS work in HIS timing. The station will be known as KPGT 89.1FM, Watertown, South Dakota-- “89.1 THE TRUTH” Please pray for us as we raise the $200,000.00 needed for the start of this station.
