Dear Friends,

As fellow believers, we share so many good things, all for the sake of Christ. One beautiful aspect of our faith is our shared love of God’s holy people everywhere in the world. The believers in India are so encouraged to know that fellow Christians on the other side of the world are praying for them and supporting them.

In Maharashtra State, IEM supports many churches in various slum areas. These congregations prove to be a great source of light in the midst of the darkness, and they continue to grow in numbers. We have included some recent photos in the insert of a few of these church communities. Please pray for these believers as they meet for worship under increasingly dangerous conditions.

In Odisha State, IEM helps support and operate an elementary school which serves over 200 poor children. Two years ago, we were able to dig a new bore well on the campus to provide a much needed water source for the children. Now, with the financial support many of you have provided, we have begun work on a project to build proper toilet facilities where previously there weren’t any. In the insert, you will see several pictures of the beautiful children on the campus. Thank you for your continued prayers and support of this important ministry.

We are very excited for our 60th Anniversary Banquet in Southern California on Saturday, October 10th. We still have a few spaces available, if you would like to attend and hear more details of what God is doing in India, please call Carolina in our office at 562-484-0881. We hope to see you there! We are so grateful for your partnership in this ministry, and your love for the holy people of God in India.

In His Service,

Dayan V. Mathai

Executive Director
