 “But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy.
Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.”

Psalm 5:11

Dear Friends,

It seems that each month we are receiving news of increased persecution of Christian believers in India. Recently, I read about a new “anti-conversion bill” which has been introduced in the northern state of Rajasthan. Such a law will be a threat and disruption to evangelism efforts. However, we continue to take comfort, and have confidence, that the Lord will spread His protection over the new believers and those who share the Good News. 

We currently support evangelists in many northern states, including Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), and Punjab. I’m happy to report that in January we began supporting a pastor in the state of Himachal Pradesh (H.P.)  I look forward to sharing about his ministry in the coming months. 

In all of these states we are praying about expanding our children’s ministry, especially fortifying the Sunday School programs. There is a great opportunity to touch the lives of many families through a comprehensive Sunday School program. Please pray that the Lord will guide us and give us increased opportunities with this ministry. 

I will be traveling this week to Washington State with my sister, Mishal, and members of her family, including my nephew Ethan’s new bride, Daisy. We look forward to sharing music and a ministry update with our supporters there. It is always a blessed time of fellowship and a shared vision of missions. In April, we will have a similar trip to Ohio to fellowship with our supporters there.

Thank you for remembering us in your prayers. We are so grateful for your support.

May God bless you,

Dayan Mathai
