The New Living Church, this past December, adopted 63 children from an orphanage in Mexico. We provided these children with the necessities in order for them to attend school.

India

The New Living Church has been blessed with the finances to build and completely pay off and support our sister church in India. Sudhir and Kalpana Kirby are the pastors of the church in India. The building has three different levels. The first level is a home to a 75 year old couple and two sisters that have served the Lord for over 40 years and recently lost their home. The second level is 150 seat church and the third level is on top of the roof, opened to fellowshipping.

What to pray for...
1. Protection for Sudhir and Kalpana.
2. Protection for all who hear the Word of God.
3. Protection for all who declare and proclaim God's word.
4. Safe journey [coming and going and traveling within the country].
5. Freedom from mechanical problems in any vehicle they travel in.
6. Fertile soil that has been prepared ahead of time. This shortens the time between planting and harvesting.
7. Blessings financially for Pastors Sudhir and Kalpana, and The New Living Church.
8. Our teachings to our Indian disciples to fish (to become self sufficient in the lord) hold fast in times of difficulty. Pray that they learn the principle of Sowing and Reaping.

India's main religion is Hinduism (80.3%) followed by Islam (13.4%). Christianity makes up 2.3% of India's population and is the third largest religion in the country. The Constitution of India (1950) recognizes the right to freedom of religious worship, and the Constituent Assembly, which drafted the Indian Constitution, recognized further that people have the right to "propagate religion". More importantly, the Census of India, which remains the most authoritative source for population statistics, clearly shows that the Christian community has stagnated and even registered a small decline in recent years. Changes in the nature of India's political process have contributed to the rise of religious tensions. There has been an increase in willingness of India's politicians to exploit religious and ethnic tensions for short-term political gain, regardless of their longer-term social consequences.

Recent converts are seen as traitors to Hinduism, as people who are against the tide of history and fail to recognize that India is -- as the Hindu militants would like to think -- a Hindu nation, and as people who are determined to weaken India in the face of opposition from hostile countries, including Pakistan. There may also be some resentment against the generally improved lifestyle of Christians: rates of literacy among both Christian men and women are higher than among Hindu men and women, and in the various indices that are used internationally to determine social and economic development, such as infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, and death rate, Christians score better.
