​A Fruitful Mission Trip

Recently in India, I (T.A.Paul) was blessed with the opportunity to preach to over 5,000 people across various settings, including church gatherings, mega meetings, Sunday services, and home fellowships. It was truly humbling to see the hunger for God’s Word and the impact the ministry is having on so many lives.​​

I also had the special privilege of naming a newborn baby, whom I named Michael. It was a truly joyful and heartwarming experience.​

​

Being among our brothers and sisters in Christ was incredibly uplifting, as I was able to encourage them to remain strong in their faith. During our missionary gathering, our missionary brothers shared powerful testimonies of how the Lord is moving in their ministries. It was an inspiring time of mutual encouragement, as they uplifted one another in the Lord.

Some of the testimonies I heard were profoundly moving and deeply inspiring. While I wish I could share all of them with you here, due to space constraints, I will provide only a brief update for now. However, we are working on compiling these stories and will be publishing them on our website soon. Once they are ready, I will be sure to share them with you.

​

It is truly heartbreaking to hear about the persecution our missionary brothers are enduring, yet at the same time, it is incredibly joyful and encouraging to witness how the work of the Lord continues to prevail despite these challenges. The unwavering faith and dedication of these missionaries serve as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Current Ministry Projects & Prayer Requests

As I return with a renewed burden for the people of India, I want to share some of the ongoing projects that need our prayers and support:

​

1. Church Construction Projects – We are currently in the process of constructing two churches in rural areas. However, we still need resources to complete these buildings. Please pray for the necessary provisions so these congregations can have a dedicated place to worship.

2. Medical Camps & Outreach – Our medical outreach has been an incredible tool for both meeting people’s physical needs and opening their hearts to the Gospel. These medical camps serve between 300 and 400 people at a time, often covering multiple villages simultaneously. Many of these villagers have no access to medical care and cannot afford to travel long distances to see a doctor or buy medicine.

   • Currently, over 45 villages are waiting for medical aid.

   • Each camp, serving approximately 250 people, costs between $5,000 and $7,500 to organize.

   • We are praying for individuals or companies that might be willing to support at least one or two medical camps per month.​

If you or someone you know is interested in helping to fund a camp, it would be an incredible blessing to those in need and an opportunity for us to share the love of Christ in a tangible way.

​

3. Caring for Widows, Elderly, Orphans, and Missionary Families – I had the privilege of visiting the widows, Elderly individuals, orphaned children, and native missionary families supported by our ministry. They were overjoyed to receive gifts and encouragement. Many of them expressed their gratitude and sent warm greetings to all of you.

​

A Testimony of God’s Protection

I also want to share a personal testimony of God’s protection during my journey home. While transiting through Frankfurt, Germany, on my way back to the U.S., our flight to Chicago, which was supposed to be a nine-hour journey, encountered unexpected technical difficulties. After five hours in the air, the pilot announced that we had to turn back to Frankfurt.

At the same time, news broke of a plane crash in Washington, D.C., which caused widespread concern among passengers. With little information provided, there was a palpable sense of fear onboard. As we made our way back to Frankfurt, the pilot had to release a significant amount of fuel over the ocean before landing.

​

This unexpected delay resulted in a 12-hour setback, requiring me to stay overnight in Chicago before finally catching a flight home to Tulsa. Despite the challenges, I am incredibly grateful for God’s protection over my journey. This experience was a reminder that, no matter the circumstances, He is always in control.

​

Thank You & Looking Ahead

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement, and generous support. Your partnership allows us to reach more people with the Gospel and provide for those in desperate need.

Please keep these ministry projects in your prayers, and if the Lord puts it on your heart to support a medical camp or a church project, I would love to discuss how you can be involved.

May God bless you abundantly as you continue to serve Him.

 

With gratitude and prayers,
