| Gayathri |
Meet Gayathri. She is the husband of Jogesh. Both Jogesh and Gayathri were baptized by Mathew in the church at Chellur 18 months ago. Both Jogesh and Gayathri are from very poor Hindu backgrounds When they made the decision to become Christ Followers, both of their families disowned them.
Jogesh has developed a serious medical condition as a result of heavy drinking prior to becoming a Christian. He had surgery at a medical college in Bangalore on July 27th.
Jogesh's doctor says that the damage caused was severe, and while the surgery was successful, recovery is dependent upon him receiving the blood and medications necessary.
The surgeon and some of his colleagues have provided sample medications to help short term. The cost of blood and medicine Jogesh will be needing soon will run between $1500 and $2000 US.
Jogesh and Gayathri have two young children. Matthew is praying the money will be made available and that Jogesh will receive the needed medications, that God will be glorified in his healing and will serve as a powerful witness among two Hindu families as well as many others.
Please lift Jogesh, Gayathri, their family, the doctor and this entire situation before God's throne in prayer. If you know someone who could help, please contact Becky Bennett at White Oak Christian Church, (513) 385-0425. Or you may respond to this post. Thanks.

UPDATE - AUGUST 4TH
Mathew has heard from Jogesh. The hospital in Bangalor has agreed to discount his medications. Now instead of needing $1500 to $2000 US, they have told him they can reduce his medicatons to only $600.00.
If your Sunday School / ABF or other small group would like to sponsor these meds for Jogesh, please contact Becky Bennett at White Oak Christian Church, 513-385-0425 or respond to this post.
