< FOR YOUR INFORMATION WHAT THIS IS ABOUT >
Hello
dear Friend, We are Kurt and Iris Joss from North East Victoria,
Australia.
We have known Pravardhan Varma of Good Seed Church Ministry, Tenali
South India for a number of years now.
We trust his Testimony as a Believer in Jesus Christ to be true and we
sincerely believe that it is his zeal and aim to establish a small Christian
based Orphanage for some of the homeless children from the slums of
Tenali.
He has started Good Seed Church Ministry in Tenali in March 2000.
We have spoken to Pravardhan Varma many times by phone and via Skype
Video. He has a genuine love to preach the Gospel and feed the poor and
homeless hungry children and families in and around Tenali.
We have supported his ministry for a number of
years and with the money he receives from us he buys bags of rice and
gives the rice to the poor.
(over the years we have received hundreds of photographs of him handing
out rice and preaching in villages and slum areas)
We have previously giving to other organizations trusting and believing
they are doing the "Right" thing only to find out that much,
if not all of the money gone into their own pockets. With Brother Varma
we believe and trust that he has a real love for God and for his
mission. Anyone is welcome to contact him personally by phone or
e-mail or skype and is welcome to visit him in India to see his work
with your own eyes.
Pravardhan Varma believes that 500 Dollars per
month will get a small orphanage established.
This is the first time ever that I feel the need to ask for help for
such worthwhile Mission.
|
Dear Friend, Can we ask YOU to help us to Help Varma by donating or
giving just 5.00 Dollars per month or 60 Dollars per year for this
Orphanage? We know and understand that times are a bit hard at the time
but we trust and believe that you will be blessed by this. Can we
encourage you to make this a permanent commitment? It is not asking the
impossible, is it? |
We guarantee that every cent we receive for the
orphanage or to feed the hungry in Tenali will go for this work.
If you can, we say thank you in Jesus Name, if you
can't, we thank you for taking the time to read
this.
GOD BLESS YOU,
Yours truly
Kurt & Iris and Family
Please be so kind and send this website link to your friends.
