DCI training in Tamil Nadu
With our hearts filled with thankfulness to God we rejoice together with our DCI Staff Muthu Raja in South India for his hard labour. John has seen great growth as he has laboured to raise up disciples of Jesus Christ in Tamil Nadu. In large and small sessions he is faithful in helping Christians grow in their love and service of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for his work to continue and grow in fruitfulness.

New semester at LTCi
Exciting times in Siliguri as LTCi enters into its second year. To date six new students have been enrolled and we would ask you to pray that the Lord will bring more admissions through the next month. We also ask you pray for those who have arrived as they adjust to a new life as a theological student. Some of the second years are still on their way back. Monday saw the orientation session take place followed by Tuesday’s retreat day, with Wednesday signaling the first full day of classes.
Below are a few photos of the action: Moala introducing the LTC staff to the new students; Ben Longchar sings during the retreat; staff and students pray together; Peter, a new student, introduces himself.

Imphal Evangelists in Siliguri
Over the last few days a group of 20 evangelists from Imphal (Manipur) have been attending a teaching retreat at LTC in Siliguri, which has taken as its theme Romans 12:2, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”. For the evangelists it is part of their regular monthly programme where they take time to seek the Lord for his strength and guidance. All of the Siliguri based staff have been involved in practical help, teaching and generally encouraging these men and women of God. It has been a wonderful time of mutual edification and encouragement for all involved. Below are a couple of photos from the training sessions.

Latest DCI Work in Sikkim
Am sending you, a brief update of our recent DCI (Dynamic Churches International, http://www.dynamicchurches.org/) training in Sikkim. Most of the participants were adults this time around. Not only DCI Training but more importantly we enjoyed our training, refreshing ourselves with the Lord. At the end of the day, as you see in the pictures, almost all the participants confessing our sins (known and unknown), renewing our relationship with Him and re-committed again afresh. I personally enjoyed our programs this time. Please uphold in your prayer for all the participants including me and Themrei, that we will be faithful to Him always.
Thank you so very much for your constant prayer all the times. I know, it is only your prayer support that we could experienced something new.
Thank you once again.
