Friends
We are continuing our ministry in Fiji. We visited 12 elementary schools this week with our third group. The group from San Bernardino is using dancers, puppets and stories to share the word of God. Last night we started a 3-night crusade at Anand church grounds. About 400 people attended the first night and we expect the numbers to rise.
Parallel to this group we have another group from San Diego doing a water project here. They are implementing free water filters in various homes around the country.end#

July 31

We are in Fiji hosting our teams here. We had the team from Lakewood Life Center. They were here in Fiji from the 19th to the 27th June. We visited many different schools and ministered in local churches. We have seen many people coming to Christ and many have been healed by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This week I have Phil Young and his team from Pacific Christian Center in Santa Maria, CA. They are conducting training for Sunday School teachers. We have had great harvest here. Just today in our children's rally in a town called Tavua, we had 50 children giving their lives to Jesus.end#

January 24

We had a great start this Year. We believe God is going to do some great things in our ministry and family. We had some great family time at the end of 2007. We  spend the holiday visiting Gaty Musime, Balboa Island for a day trip and stayed home playing family games. Sylvanas is bcak in school and Anjana is enjoying at the district office and also continue with her studies at Santa Ana college. I am back in little India ministring to our Indian friends and business houses. God has been opening lots of new doors for ministry among our pakistani friends. This week mostly travling to Light for the Lost tour and enjoy meeting new and old friends.

October 22


We are busy with the ministry. Friday & Saturday we had lots of visitors from Fiji, Australia and New Zealand. We hosted lunch on Saturday for Anjana's family. Anjana lost her uncle 2 weeks ago and we had a wonderful time ministering to her families. The family asked me to share in the funeral alongside 4 other Hindu priests. A lot of people at the funeral responded to my sharing. Please pray for our ministry as we are growing. We have people joining our ministry to help us with different ministry.We have the General Superindent of the Assemblies of God of Fiji and his wife is staying with us for few days.

I had a great week and praise God for His blessings. I had so many different opportunities to serve the Lord. Had  meeting with Ben Kaufman, a missionary friend and mentor. Visited some new families. I was able to share the gospel with a Hindu friend and another Hindu couple. They were able to here about Jesus for the first time. I was able to pray with these people and let Jesus do a miracle in their lives.
Thursday I spent a few hours with Rhonda Vanbeber, a missionary friend. We ate at an Indian restaurant. It was great food and carrot pudding was really good. Anjana & Sylvanas are both in good health. We are believing for a great weekend and pray that the Lord will give you all a great one too.end#

Wednesday we had a visitor from Fiji. Shareen stayed with us for one night. It was good to fellowship with her and catchup on things about Fiji. Thursday sectional meeting at Orange Hills church. I was able to connect with some good friends. I believe fellowship with good friends lifts you up in ministry. Friday, youths from Lakewood life center with Ps Eric Atherton came over to have dinner with our family. We enjoyed Jake and Caleb, Eric's sons, very active and lively boys. We had fun eating chicken curry, corned mutton, fried beans, rice, lamb pullao and Naan (Indian Bread), thanks to my good wife Anjana and son Sylvanas. Eric and Matt tried to eat chillies with me and that was a lot of fun hahaha.end#
