We exceeded our goal and was able to give $50,548.92 for a church build in India, and to buy sewing machines to help rescued women become self-supported.
The improvements to the church building and additions to their job skills training program will allow our partners to reach even more women with the Gospel.

We are quite simply blown away! Deeply grateful for your partnership. May we see many come to Christ in Findlay, Detroit, and beyond! All because of grace. - Mike, Revelation 7:9

A Letter from one of the pastors who received a Jesus Well...
Pastor Manoj has been serving the Lord in a village in South Asia. He has a fellowship with thirty believers. Most of the time he visits believers’ houses and arranges prayer meetings. As a result of his effort, his fellowship is growing.
The majority of the people are Hindus and do cultivation for their livelihood. In this area, there was not water facility that would supply them with pure and sufficient water. The villagers were using water from a pond, but they did not get pure water for their daily needs. In the summer season, the pond water would dry up and they used to struggle to even get water for drinking and cooking their food. They were greatly in need of a Jesus Well to meet their needs. Now, by the grace of God, Pastor Manoj and the team were able to install a Jesus Well for this suffering community. All of the villagers are so happy that they have been saved from the water crisis. They are really excited to use it for their daily needs. They said that the Jesus Well is a great blessing for them. Every day, one hundred people are using this well.
As a result of the installation of the Jesus Well, the way has been opened for our Pastor Manoj and the believers to have a closer relationship with their neighbors. They now can better share the Gospel with them. Please pray that the people in other faiths will soon turn to the Lord Jesus and accept Him as their personal Savior.
