Regarding the church project: in our area people are opposing us to not to go on with church building. There is a strong Hindu fanatic group in our area. As you know, they have publicly burned Bibles in the month of January [these were Bibles that Sundar and his church had given away]. They want to drive me away from this place; they are challanging me. They do not want any Christian work going on in the area where I am working. I know this is the Devil's work to discourage us so that we may not penetrate into his kingdom that he is holding.

I request you to uphold us in prayer that God would give us boldness to face this obstacle and stand strong to preach the Gospel. It is God's work and He will accomplish it. As His word says, "I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Pray for my safety and my church people. Pray that the church people would be bold to stand for the cause of Christ and His work.

Thank you once again for all your support and prayers for me.

Your brother in His mission,

Sundar
