News Letter from “Nava Jeevan – New Life in Christ”
________________________________________________________________________
Glory be to the Triune God the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer, Amen!
By God’s grace we were able to thankfully remember and celebrate the birthdays for Sammy Villuri, Praveen Yeddu, Amutha and Deva Villuri all in the month of October! Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!!
Birthdays and various other occasions like the one we find in the pictures above (such as the VBS Son Rock Kids’ Camp this summer) give us a great opportunity to witness to the love, sharing and caring virtues of God in Jesus Christ to several Christian as well as non Christian kids, parents and grandparents during such occasions.
It takes a lot of courage to young parents like the Villuries and Yeddus who make it a point to invite all their neighbors and friends and share the love of God and their testimonies that paves the way for pastors like me to convey the Good News about the Kingdom of God to those who seek and value the prayers in such congenial atmosphere. We deeply appreciate the efforts taken by these young and enthusiastic parents.
November 5th through 9th Rev. Edwin Fernando will attend a special seminar at the Luther Seminary at St. Paul, MN on the theme ‘Contextual Church Planting’ along with the Rev. Judith Spindt (Mission Director and Bishop’s Assistant) and Mr. David Raja Achariam (Mission Developer, Elizabeth, NJ) of New Jersey Synod. Please keep our travels, program and families we leave behind in your prayers.
May the Lord God bless and keep you all in God’s grace and peace as these changing times and seasons usher in certain challenges that require more serious prayer, solid team-work and a complete reliance on God. Amen & Amen!
Rev. Edwin F. Arumanayagam, Pastor & Mission Developer, NJLM – October 27, 2009
