God called our family to leave our home country with the purpose of reaching out to Indians like ourselves who live in California’s Central Valley. After three years of prayer and hard work, the doors opened for us to put down roots in the town of Livingston, CA. Livingston’s population includes approximately 2,500 Indians and will be our home base as we reach out to Indians throughout Merced County. We really can feel God leading us and reminding us that it is His work we are doing.

Our vision is to be strategic partners with churches and ministries in the Central Valley, specifically in Merced County, to ensure the opportunity for all Indians from India to be evangelized and discipled in Christ. We are doing this by building friendships, relationships, holding ESL classes, house visitation, prayer and Bible study. God has provided a place to meet and hold ESL classes, building relationships with many people including Sikh priests.
A Sikh priest came to the center to learn ESL. He said that as he becomes a citizen of the US he also needs to become a citizen of God’s kingdom. He believes in God and would like to read the Bible, get to know more about God and wants to share this with his people.

Our neighbors, who are Sikh and have heard about Jesus Christ through us, are friends even though the husband refuses Christ. She asks us to pray that her family may come to know and accept Jesus as the true God.
These are a few stories we share which indicate God is at work in the lives of people with some professing their faith in Jesus Christ.

We constantly realize, as we began life here, that God is opening doors. We need prayer for protection, wisdom, health and that God would place people in our path with a willingness to help us adjust. We would really like prayer teams and individuals who would be willing to commit to pray daily or weekly for us and our ministry.

We want to thank everyone for those who are willingly and generously giving. Our monthly support is growing but when we take away our one-time gifts our monthly support is low.

We also need volunteers to teach ESL at Livingston. If God leads you please contact us.
As you read over these support areas take a moment to seriously consider how you might serve. We are expecting and looking forward to hearing from people ready to make a commitment in these areas.

We would like to express our deep gratitude and thanks to our Almighty God and to all our supporting churches, family and friends for enabling us to carry on His ministry.
