GBBM Monthly Newsletter
November 2024
I am excited to share the good news of the release of the complete Bible in the Banjara/Lambadi language December 5th, 2024, at my home church in Hyderabad.
October 2024
Sujatha and I decided to extend our stay in the U.S. to meet with churches, organizations, and individuals; to thank our current sponsors for their support while establishing new relationships and donors for the ministry.
September 2024
I thank God for allowing Sujatha and me to travel to the United States. We arrived in
the US in September. It is both refreshing and encouraging to meet old friends, visit
churches, and to make new contacts.
June 2024
The month of June begins the sowing and planting season for the majority of Banjara
people (most work as farmers or farm labor). GBBM Church Planting Pastors (CPPs)
and other GBBM leaders take advantage of this time and try to sow and plant seeds
among the people working in the fields.
MAY 2024
Before I share any further, my sincere apologies for the long delay since the last GBBM newsletter. I was personally going through a spiritual battle; and I fell behind with several administrative task. God is gracious and granted me victory over my struggles. I am positive that this kind of delay will not repeat in future.
