India Crusade in Kakinada
Pastor Jyothi Reddi had recently invited Rev. Curtis Silcox and Pastor Rusty Nelson to come minister at the crusade in Kakinada. They were given special permission to speak in an area that it is illegal for foreign evangelists to minister inside the country. The first night of the meeting there were 8,000 people and by the end of the week that number grew to 18,000. There were many conversions to Christianity. The people of Kakinada just showed an incredible hunger for God during these meetings.

Outreach to Ministers
With your support we were able to not only pray over the group of pastors and encourage them, but was also able to sow a financial seed in their life. There was no way we could take a picture of each pastor, but we would like to tell you one testimony. A minister, whose husband had deserted her and her children, felt impressed of the Lord to open a seamstress business. Her prayer was that God would send confirmation by supplying her financial need. She was overjoyed with the gift we presented her and took that gift as her mandate from God that she was in the right direction.

Rameswaram
This city is the second most sacred place for the Hindu population. Hindus save up their entire life to be able to come bathe in these waters. They believe this body of water will wash their sins away. The most eye-opening fact is, the very waters they are bathing in is the same water the city uses as a sewage dump! After bathing in the water they lay their clothes on the rocks because they believe they are not pure. They go to the High priest to have him impart a blessing over them. In the final step, they have their hair shaved, going as far as even sacrificing their hair! When you see these people leave their “Holy Place” they walk away with no change, joy or hope on their faces.
