Reverend Thomas recently shared the need of financial help for a church in the village of Pothinnedupalem:
"By the grace of God, we started our village ministry 35 years ago when we sent Pastor Raja Rathnam to plant a church in the village of Pothinnedupalem. At that time there were no Christians in the village and all of the village people were idol worshippers. After sharing the gospel and praying for healing for many of the villagers, some accepted Christ as Savior and we were able to develop a gospel ministry. Fifteen years ago we were able to purchase 125 square meters of land to build a church, but we did not have the funds to build until this year.
15 years ago we were able to purchase 125 squre meters of land to build a church, but we did not have the funds to build until this year.
Earlier this year our country had elections and some of the political candidates gave donations to help us build the church we had been waiting so long to build. The money they gave was not sufficient to complete the church, but by faith we took a small loan and constructed a church with brick and cement walls and iron sheets for the roof. Please help us with the funds to pay off this small loan."
