CHRISTMAS VILLAGER 2009
Friday, December 18th, 2009
…they shall call his name Immanuel,
which being interpreted is, God with us. Mt 1:23
Doris and I returned from our North America visit in July. We had a good time visiting churches, friends, donors, and families. We are grateful for this opportunity .
Matilda Education Society (MES) continue to run on a tight budget. Several overseas donors cut down their support due to the recession. There had been many adjustments made to accommodate the existing needs.
We planted more fruit trees on our 10 acre self supporting farm. Growing more paddy/rice and vegetables supplement food for the Bindu orphanage.
Heavy rains came in Andhra Pradesh in the month of October causing much damage to human and animal life besides loss of crops. MES was involved in relief programs in Repalle of Guntur district.
Andrea Buchanan and Julia Guyer from Reba Place Church Evanston USA, came to help out with us on 31 November. They are teaching fine arts, English, choir, country dance and roller skating at Matilda Educational Institutions. Recently they started dancing classes for high school children. Part of their assignment is to write the story of VEDA ministry.
We thank you for being part of our ministry and God bless you.
Kindly pray for the following needs:
- Support for the continuing projects.
- New sponsorships for 20 Bindu orphans
- Completion of a guest house for incoming visitors.
- Completion of leftover church work at Gajinagar, and Anjaiah colony
- School bus
May this Christmas bring joy and peace to you,
In Christ,
Das, Doris, and Nathan Maddimadugu - India
