District 21
238 people trained in 22 villages.  The most amazing thing in these districts and villages is that the word is being more prominent taught and is being rooted among the believers.   Before the training started, all people knew were evangelism, healing, and starting churches, but they had no experience with the basic doctrinal truth.  Now it seems everybody is enjoying the training and the truth of the word of God, and the truth has set them free indeed.  Most of the trainings in this district have been done without any disruption.  However, this month has been the worst of the year because of sickness and rain and lack of provision during the trainings, as people have less income so many who had committed were not really able to help.  Yet our Father has been faithful and able to take us through the difficult time, and we are pushing through to see the task accomplished.&n bsp; 26 house groups formed, and 20 new Churches started his month in May and June.

District 22
178 people trained in 18 villages.  Please pray for a trainer and his family after he was beaten and robbed.  A policeman in a local village area was delivered from demons, and then he and his family of four accepted the Lord.  In the same area, a girl who fell from a bullock cart last year and had a hurting back was healed from her pain.  She, too, accepted the Lord.  Two children were sick with high fever in the same home because of malnutrition.  A trainer gave the family some food and helped with medical support.  This act of compassion touched the family, and the family of 5 received the Lord as their Savior.  26 new house groups formed, and 22 churches started in May and June.

District 17

238 people trained in 22 villages.  In this district, there are lot of people offering to help with resources and many who are helping with some gifts too.   The atmosphere is great and very encouraging; everywhere there is brotherhood and love being spread; and people helping us with the trainings are sharing their belongings.  A high-caste village head accepted the Lord last month after being healed of joint pain.  He offered to have church in his home, but when the villagers objected, he went to the district court and stood before the judge with an affidavit that without any pressure he wants to convert to Christianity, which created waves among the nearby villages.  Now, many under the village head’s influence are considering attending home churches in their villages, and some of his close relatives have already started coming.  One sister was healed of asthma, and her family renounced witchcraft to accept the new faith and their new life.  So far, this lady has gone to almost all the homes in her village to tell the story of Jesus in her life.  In just few weeks, she has witnessed to every home.  26 house groups formed and 18 Churches started in May and June.

District 18

180 people trained in 12 villages.  One farmer was healed of epilepsy when a volunteer prayed for him.  The man accepted the Lord with his wife and 3 children, and also requested to start a fellowship in his home.  Where a trainer was beaten last month, there now stands a house group of 44 people.  In this village alone, 34 people accepted the Lord this month.  One believer happens to be a village head, and a well-to-do farmer gave 3 bags of wheat for training in the district for this year.  He accepted the Lord last year when the believers prayed for his 7-month-old daughter to survive fatal injuries when she fell from the first floor.  36 new house groups formed, and 24 new churches started in May and June.
 

District 19

180 people trained in 20 villages.  Please pray for an injured trainer who fell off a motorcycle and in the hospital.  Also please pray for trainers who are sick with chicken pox.  (Some times when lot of healing happens the men involved in praying fall sick.)  Two demon-possessed men were delivered, and there have been many other healings, like pains, fevers, boils on the skin, skin diseases, and snake bites.  A village head man was healed of epilepsy from which he was suffering from his childhood.  As a result of the healing, we have gained access into the village though the head man has not yet decided to follow Jesus.  A woman considered to be a witch in one village was beaten and thrown out when one of our volunteers gave her shelter and food; now she is in God’s family serving with us.  Within three months, 71 women have been baptized, and 2 fellowships have been started.  22 churches started, and 18 house groups formed in May and June.

District 20

162 people trained in 12 villages.  This was the most persecuted district in the last 9 months, but this month, it has the highest rate and number of baptism in all of the districts (thank you for praying).  A witch doctor herself renounced her practices and accepted the Lord after not being able to heal an epileptic who was later healed by prayer.  Lots of acceptance is being seen in this district.  Many middle school teachers, primary health care representatives, and young trainee nurses have been helping with the on-going wave of training.  A woman was dying of tuberculosis, when the trainer was asked to pray.  Other volunteers continued visiting her and praying for her, and in 4 weeks the woman has been healed though still very weak.  The constant visiting has helped a home group to begin in this house.  The neighbors, friends, and family members (who are 19 in number) have witnessed her healing are now gathering in this home to seek the one, true, all powerful God.  37 house groups formed, and 27 churches started in May and June.

District 13
198 people trained in 14 villages.  Persecution hit the villages last month, and the training had to be shifted to different villages several times.  No one was harmed, and the Church has been more persistent in praying.  A sister was healed of acute stiffness and pain in her joints and has been a testimony to many.  She now witnesses openly of her Healer and Lord.  Recently two business men have offered to help with the resources for the training to one of the supervisors.  30 house groups formed, and 20 Churches started in May and June.

District 14
196 people trained in 18 villages.  Typhoid has hit this district, and many among the Churches are sick.  Please pray, as some of the children and mothers are seriously ill. We were able to access lot of villages this month with which we had little or no access.  There is no doubt or question that people are being freed from the clutches of the Satan through deliverance, healing, and above all, the word of God.  This district is known to be the remotest of all among the tribal belt.  The Hindu fundamentalists have been trying to convert these Animists into idol worshipers.  Also, a man was delivered from demons, and his sister was healed completely of paralysis; then, the whole house hold of 19 people accepted the Lord and opened their home for worship as a result of the miracle.  25 house groups formed, and 19 Churches started in May and June.

District 15
186 people trained in 16 villages.  The trainers are having a tough time because of the rain yet are not giving up and the rivers are running above the danger mark.  People are fleeing from villages to take shelter in higher areas.  Please pray for the conditions to be easier so our work can go smoothly.  Persecution has continued in this district for the last three and a half months, resulting in a little slower work progress.  A poor farmer who was listening to one of the trainings heard that the Lord is all powerful and all knowing.  That evening, he asked his neighbor if his God is all knowing, then He would surely know where to dig a well in order to get water.  The neighbor took the farmer to the trainer, and the trainer prayed.  The next day, when they began digging the well, the men got right into a sweet water stream.  27 house groups formed, and 22 churches started in May and June.

District 16
166 people trained in 18 villages.  A volunteer who had been helping us died in a bus-jeep collusion.  Please pray for his family.  A farmer was healed of a rare long-term fever and accepted the Lord with his family.  Two trainers are sick with high fever and stomach infection; please pray for them.  The district is also experiencing chicken pox; many children and women have been sick with this infection.  31 house groups formed, and 21 churches started in May and June.

District 9
173 people trained in 13 districts.  A brother was delivered instantly of several demons from which he was suffering from three and half years.  The word spread, and many came to verify the healing.  This led to training invitations in three more villages next month and few baptisms.  26 house groups formed, and 22 churches started in May and June.

District 10
172 people trained in 16 villages.  In two places, churches were attacked; nobody was hurt; only some shacks were damaged where people live.  Many trainers get threatened for their lives in this district, but it has been 9 months since a trainer has been beaten.  This trainer was beaten up when he was teaching and training at a believer’s home.  These men tried to disturb the training by throwing stones at the house; then, they pushed their way into the home, beat up the trainer, and broke some of the furniture.  One woman had a skin infection which kept returning despite the medication she took, but after a trainer prayed for her, the infection has not been back in 4 months.  The work grows as healing makes way for the training and the gospel.  43 new house groups are formed, and 23 new Churches started in May and June.

District 11
156 people trained in 18 villages.  The most amazing incident happened—a thief gave his life to Jesus after being healed of rare skin infection which he had for years!  A 29-year-old man suffered from partial paralysis for three and a half years and was healed.  Following this, the man and his extended family of 16 Adults and 7 children accepted the Lord.  22 new groups formed, and 15 Churches started in May and June.

District 12
146 people trained in 16 villages.  Remarkable acceptance has been evident in this district, and many volunteers are being trained and are helping train with us.  Praise the Lord.  A small girl fell into an open well and lost consciousness; people at the training rescued the girl; and later she was taken to get medical care.  The girl’s family gave gifts to the trainer and offered to pay for the all the expenses and food during the 5 days of the training and started to attend fellowship.  Last heard, he had already come to attend worship twice.  During another training while two people were being baptized, a snake bit a man’s arm while he was sitting the grass.  Since the city hospital was almost 5 hours away, the believers prayed and asked the Lord for healing and adequate time for the man to reach the hospital.  And he did make it and was given an antidote at the hospital.  He is doing well now.  Because of this incident, a fear of the Lord has spread, and many are now coming to the church meetings as seekers.  29 house groups formed, and 21 Churches started in May and June.
