Tour Report:

The congregation (around 25 people) has started from Church at 10:30 AM. Rev. John prayed in the Bus for a safe and fruitful trip. We reached the location by 11:30 AM. Soon after we reach, the SUI members – Benjamin , Anita has started programs for the children and the children were enjoying that program. Parallel to this , Rev.P.Pawar started prayer-cum-message for the elderly people.

We had served lunch for the children and elderly people. They were so happy and had enjoyed the food as they have non-veg food once in a while.

The post after-noon session started with the long and glorifying testimony of Mrs.Anita and many young students were touched with her testimony. This was the great achievement in this trip and the students were talking to her after this testimony and committed to JESUS.

Finally Rev. John distributed the Gifts (School bags and the uniform cloths) to the students. We also distributed the New Testament for the needy people.

Overall it was a very satisfied and glorified visit for the needy people. It was also decided to have a follow-up trip during Christmas.
