Phoebe Women’s Fellowship
The women in these Small Groups are Mighty Prayer Warriors! Through their prayers come; healings, ministering to others, and strong friendships! My wife Helen leads and works closely with this ministry throughout the Christian and non-Christian areas of India. She has conducted three Women’s retreats this past year with at least 50 women attending each retreat. They participate in seminars, witness healings from God, and hear the Word of God; and many women accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Men’s Fellowship
Part of the Indian culture and mindset, especially in the villages, is that the women are the only ones who need to attend church. God placed it on my heart that I need to focus on the men through prayer meetings and sermons to bring them to church and teach them about a relationship with God. By God’s Grace I am conducting two men’s fellowship prayer meetings along with giving many sermons throughout this past year. Now by the Grace of God many more men are attending church to learn more about God. Thank God!
Schools of Promise
We have 50 Sunday School Centers bringing children to a relationship with God. We are currently ministering to all the denominational and nondenominational churches in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. We have 50 Sunday school teachers teaching every Sunday along with other week days. We are reaching children every week in 1500 different villages and towns in these states. We are concentrating on Yanadi, (tribal people who hunt, fish and sweep streets for a living), Chench, (people who make baskets with bamboo reeds to sell in the streets), and other very poor children from other tribal villages. This past year we taught the gospel to kindergarten age through 8th grade children, (5 to 13 year old).
Youth Groups
We are blessed with a group of teenagers, who work for God tirelessly. Their hearts to serve God and involve in the ministry is very much admirable. These teenagers, gather every Saturday and build their relationship with God. We also conduct youth camps, retreats twice a year, to encourage them.
Social Services
We visit the blind, physically and mentally disabled, every month to share the love of Jesus. We also distribute blankets and Bibles to people who sleep on roads during winters and plant tress for a healthy environment.
We also conduct open air meetings, Resurrection Sunday rallies and many more. In every aspect, we make sure that God is the center of the ministry. Our Faith lies in Him and God alone is Glorified!
