Dear Minister

In an ever changing world, the one constant we can hold to is Gods desire for all to hear and have the

chance to respond to the Gospel message. Our Village ministry justifies its purpose .As a part of Village ministries

we have a small hut church at Seepalakottai village and we pray that God opens door to purchase land and

helps us to construct a church there . Also we pray for church construction at Karichipatti village . We focus on

areas in the world where access to the Gospel is limited and through our prayes people are responding to the

good news of Christ .These are villages where no missionaries have gone before us and where we can bring

thousands of people towards Christ .Find below some of the photographs of our church at Seepalakottai . Hope

God gives you the burden to pray for these unreached people .Please remember these villages in your daily

prayers where idol worship and illiteracy is wide spread . Pray for the church construction in these two villages .

please pray that the financial requirement are met.

Women Ministries continues to see God work in the lives of our women members .We are very much

supported by their prayers and involvement in village ministries . Their forty days fasting prayers gives us

lot our strengths in our ministries and hundreds are blessed by them .We are experiencing miracles with

their prayers and many non Christians come with prayer requests and receive blessings from the Lord and

in due course of time they become church members . Our desire is to see women grow in their

relationship with God, reach out to others in Christ-like love, and to seize opportunities to share the Good

News of Jesus Christ with a lost world.

Bethel seeks to serve, care and work with the poor and the oppressed to promote peace, justice and

transformation. We have extended our helping hands to rural uneducated people , Widows , through

financial ,social and moral support . We provide them food at regular intervals, clothing during festive

seasons, and financial support during crisis and prayer support always. We have a vision for the

marginalized communities and people in our nearby villages and hope these villages become Gods

vineyard and would achieve all levels of development .We wish to generate leaders from these villages

who would proclaim the good news .

We thank God offering a covenant relationship between us . The only one life we have been given in this

world, let us do things for the Lord whichever is possible for us with the belief that everything is Possible

with our Almighty. Let us join together to strengthen ourselves in marching towards the end time harvest.

When we offer ourselves as instruments for Gods purpose, we create opportunities for others to

experience God through us and God shakes up the world around us and others come to know him. There

may not be anything more thrilling than embracing the God-given opportunity ,knowing youre in over

your head and then watching God come through.

As We celebrate 25 years of ministry we are thankful to the Lord for his abundant grace without which we

are no where. And now we move to a new part of our journey .We will do our part in fulfilling the Great

Commission of our Lordliving lives that reflect the truth of Gods perfect love and sharing through our

words and actions, the hope we have in our relationship with Jesus.
