Dhawadi is a medium size village located in Jhabua Tehsil of Jhabua district, Madhya Pradesh, India. In Full Dhawadi village, most of the village population is from Schedule Tribe (97%). This village too is very dry and has a very scarce source of water. The villagers used to travel many miles to fetch water from a common well dug by the government. But during summer, the well gets dried up and the villagers had no other source of water. Pastor Bachu Singh is working in Jhabua who visits this village regularly to minister to a small group of people. The villagers requested Pastor Bachu to help alleviate the issue of water scarcity in the village. Pastor Bachu, in turn informed us about the village and we helped them dig a tube well, again 350 feet deep, but was unable to find water. The villagers were disheartened but Pastor Bachu didn’t lose heart, he prayed and asked the people to fix the hand pump. To everyone’s astonishment after fixing the hand pump they were able to get water. Now the whole village is thankful towards those who extended their hands in getting the tube well erected. This has now helped Pastor Bachu to approach the villagers to share the gospel with much more confidence. They are so thankful to the Life outreach International for the great help for this village
Dear Friends,
With your help, many are coming to Christ in India. This letter highlights a few of NMM’s ministries and how your partnership is impacting lives. It’s hard to believe that another year has gone by in the life and ministry of NMM, and, as always, we have seen God’s hand at work in everything we do. I’d like to take just a minute of your time to give you a quick snapshot of our 2015 fiscal year and to tell you how much your prayerful participation in our efforts to share Christ with the world has meant to us.
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” This scripture from Romans 10:14 has never been more important than it is today. All of us at NMM thank you for your Godly support, your prayers, and most of all, for your friendship.
I hope you are are encouraged as you read through this report of the past year. We want you to know that your story is intertwined in everything you see—every child supported, every prayer done for the church planters, every outreaches—everything. Your support helps make it all happen. Thank you so much for helping us to keep sharing Christ and loving people.
In Christ,
