Dear Friends,

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It is with great joy that I write to you today. Mission India was a great success. There were 176 people who gave their heart and life to Jesus Christ. "Praise God!" All honor, glory and praise belongs to Him. "Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit saith the Lord" (Zechariah 4:6b).

People being saved were about the only thing that went according to plans on this mission trip. Three weeks before I arrived in Badagora, India, a group of people who claimed to do miracles and healing ministries went into the areas I was supposed to go to. There was no healings and no miracles performed. The people were very angry, but instead of only being angry with the ones who committed the fraud they were also angry with Christianity as well. Rev. Joseph told me we would go further into the bush areas. He said it would take some time for the people to cool down. So we went further into the bush to preach the Word.

Another problem came about two weeks before I arrived in India. We planned the mission effort with the process of crossing the border into Bhutan by day. We would purchase a permit at the border instead of trying to get a Visa which is very difficult to get. Rev. Joseph told me in times past there was no problem in crossing the border. But that changed two weeks before I arrived. You can no longer buy a permit for a day. I was not allowed in Bhutan but we did work along the border. The devil cannot stop the WORK! We were able to spread God's Word and love.

I want you to know how much I love you and appreciate your prayers and financial support. Your love and support make it possible for Isaiah's Answer to minister to people all over the world. We are supporting orphanages, seminaries, and feeding programs in Africa, India, and Honduras.

Please be in prayer for me as I pray and seek God's guidance for the next mission endeavor.

Serving Him,
Garry
