Baptisms in Parasandra

The church in Parasandra is a 'multi-site' start from the church in Sdevaganahalli.  Paster Moses was leading this church in his home with 35 to 40 worshipers.  The past year has seen the ministry expand. 



This year the worship was moved from Pastor Moses' home to an empty warehouse.  Pastor Johnson has been working with this church as well.  In June there are now over 300 worshipers meeting in Parasandra.



On June 16th, Matthew had the privilege of baptising 24 new believers into Christ in Parasandra.

As of Friday, June 28th, Pastor Moses reports there are now another 17 men and women who are ready to be baptized.  Praise God for what He is doing through Christhia Seva Mission in Parasandra.

Did you know that for $100.00, we can purchase a sewing machine, help a woman in Chickballapur get several weeks of training, give her the sewing machine, then help her set up a sewing business that will enable her to be self-sustaining? 

Well......thanks to you, we can.  Thank you!
