November 2024

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Psalm 100:4-5

Dear Friends,  

As Thanksgiving approaches, we remind ourselves of the many blessings that God has bestowed upon us. This year, my sisters and I are remembering our father, G.V., who passed away last November. We are so thankful to have had parents who loved the Lord and worked to further His kingdom.  

The Lord continues to show His faithfulness to the ministry in India, and our Bible college students have completed their first semester at the Kerala campus. It is remarkable to see how God has brought these young men from different states of India, speaking different languages, to come together and study the Word of God on our campus. The courses are taught in English, so the students’ English language skills are improving, as they also enhance their knowledge of the Bible.

Last week, the students completed their first semester examinations, and I am happy to share that the faculty are reporting positive results. In fact, the first-year students are proving to be a very smart and ambitious class. After their exams, the students were treated to a popular amusement park located in South India. Please continue to pray that our students will grow in the Lord and develop a passion for Christian ministry. 

As you gather with your loved ones this holiday season, please know that we are very grateful for you and your partnership in the work of the Lord in India. We love you and thank God for you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 

In Christ, 

Dayan Mathai
