     Reports continue to come in from India of new converts who have taken water baptism. This is a very important step indicating a total break from their former beliefs.
There is strong opposition to Christianity in India, and persecution and even death is not rare. Yet, the need is beyond comprehension, with over a billion people there and half of them unable to read or write! About half are also under the age of 16! Besides the services at the mission, meetings are held in homes and gathering places. Much prayer is needed and more financial support than we are able to give.

      REPORTS COMING IN FROM INDIA tell of ongoing conversions and water baptisms and growth of the congregation. This is a welcome change from many lean years when conversions were rare. The spiritual darkness is great, and opposition to Christianity is strong, with persecution common. Yet the message must be proclaimed.

      NO EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE TO MISSION IN INDIA Most of you have heard news reports of the deadly earthquake that was partly in India. I am happy to report that our mission is located a considerable distance away, so no report of damage is expected. The most recent reports are among the best in many years, with conversions, and a move of the Holy Spirit. India must be considered one of the nations that most need the good news of the gospel.

     A pressing need has been met in India, thanks to the generous help of some who read these letters. Funds sufficient to make repairs to the mission roof have been received, and the work is progressing.

   From India we hear there is a growing number of converts in this great land. India is a huge nation, second largest in the world, and with very diverse lifestyles. They range from the poorest of the poor, to those who are quite wealthy. There is a rapidly growing middle class, and the need of the gospel is so very great. Unless government policy changes, evangelism is very restricted, and no foreign missionaries permitted. We are thankful that our national leader was trained many years ago, and can continue to preach and lead people to Christ.

     In India reports continue to come in of increasing numbers of conversions and attendance at services. Needed repairs are in progress to the mission house, made possible by some of you. However, we are receiving reports of increasing Muslim persecution in countries with sizable Muslim populations. This is especially true in Pakistan, where churches have been burned and people forced to flee for their lives.
