Good Samaritan's Home Ministry (Update Dec. 2013)

Dear GSH Supporters,

   Hearty greetings to you from India and from our own chilly Siskiyou County! The low temperatures in India are in the upper 60's and low 70's in December, but that is COLD to them! We spoke with Pastor Joseph today and one of his prayer requests is for good physical health for him since he is exposed to "cold" night air as he is preaching in different places each night. He specifically wanted prayer for the  Rajahmundry city wide Christmas celebration on Saturday Dec. 14th from 7pm-10pm. He said that thousands of citizens, pastors and politicians will be there and he will be the main speaker--posters of him are all over the city! Please pray that He would be led by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel message.

We are in the process of compiling a mailing that will update you on all the GSH  ministries, but we didn't want you to miss out on the latest from Pastor Joseph as well as the current ministries needs list. Watch for the mail update in the next couple weeks and be encouraged that your prayers and financial support are accomplishing amazing things in the lives of the poor in Rajahmundry, India.

To God be the glory!
