INDIA MISSIONS REPORT
Dr. Abraham
T. Thomas, Missionary
Under authority of Cordova MBC
August, 2008
Dear
Pastor, Brothers and Sisters,
In the name
of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I am sending you greetings from the Baptist
works and your missionary Abraham
Thomas in India. In
India Christians are minority and they having very less freedom of speech than
Hindu and Muslim. Severe persecution against Christians is going on in
the state of Orissa and in this state, Christians are
not allowed to enter. Our three local church buildings and homes were burned
out and all the believers are somewhere inside the jungle and communication
with them is very little. The last days are very near than our
imaginations. Your sincere love, prayers and support are giving us more
confidence to move forward for the glory of our living God. By the grace of God, 572
homes were visited with the gospel of grace and 109 people received Christ. Please pray, I have to pay off the loan I took
against my home.
Thank you very much for

August Up-Date by Dave Gustafson
coordinator:
Please keep the need to
pay off the Loan of $12,825.00 Bro Abraham
took on his home and keep them in your prayers as they go out into the
communities door to door with the Gospel of Grace. Only by Godʼs
Grace are they able to continue, because of the persecutions going on. I want
to thank every church and member for your faithful support. Our church is very
small, but God has blessed so wonderfully with your help and I am personally
thanking every one of you. Our God is a Great God in whom we trust.
On another note I have
some sad news, Sister Annie
Bro. Abrahamʼs wife, was just
diagnosed with Cancer in her Liver. We are very concerned about her condition
and Bro Abraham is preparing to return and be with
her.
