Passing of Joseph Britto

On the morning of April 9th (the day after Easter), we received urgent news from Pastor Arthur of the death of his Assistant Pastor, Joseph Britto, in a freak accident while working on repairs of the church van that morning. Joseph was electrocuted while doing some welding and died instantly. Pastor Joseph is survived by his wife and two young children. He was 41 years of age.

This is a subtle attack by the enemy on Pastor Arthur’s ministry and a clear example of the spiritual warfare at hand. Pastor Joseph was in charge of filming Pastor Arthur’s ministries and managed all of Pastor Arthur’s video and media for television broadcast in India. Pastor Arthur now has 25 programs, 13 minutes each, that air each week on Indian television! His church has also now reached 30,000 members! Praise GOD!

At this time, we ask for sincere prayer for Joseph’s grieving family, and for Pastor Arthur and his ministry. Only GOD’s love will heal and mend the broken hearts of the families involved, and bring to rest the enemy’s attack. Read more

Repair for Pastor Boaz’s Church

In December we reported to you about the need for repair for Pastor Boaz’s flooded church. Repair work has begun on this small village church to prevent flooding in the future. We ask for continued prayer on this matter and for GOD to not only provide the means to continue the necessary repairs to both the church and Pastor Boaz’s home, but also for Pastor Boaz’s congregation to grow again once repairs are finished. We recently received some additional news about this from Pastor Arul in India. Read more

Cyclone Thane Batters Puducherry in India

As if one recent natural disaster was not enough, today we learned of a cyclone that hit a part of India where we have native workers.

We have been told that none of our workers have been affected by the storm because they are far enough away from the coast where the primary damage hit. Our workers did say they have a lot of rain and flooding and one of them was going to go talk to Pastor Boaz this morning and see about getting him into a dry house somewhere. Read more
