Some of our friends on AFF, have helped in the past, we have received some support already, but we need additional help.
If you feel led and wish to support us any help is appreciated. Always prayer is essential, but any kind of gift helps to get us closer to the goal. As always, we will report what happens on this trip.
Friends,
Once again Keith & Elizabeth have been invited to minister in the country of India. Keith will be preaching at a 3-day conference in the territory of Gujarat in India. The dates of travel will be May 12-19, 2009.
We feel so blessed to have this opportunity to go to India and minister. We realize that not everyone will be able to go India but can be rewarded in partnering with helping with our travel expenses to India. The amount needed is$1800.00 for airfare.
Our host will accommodate all our daily needs with lodging and meals, but will be unable to accommodate us with air travel, his income is about ($300 USD a month). That is why we need sponsors to partner with Keith and Elizabeth.
We have set up a paypal.com account for your convenience, the account is setup under my email address
keith4him@yahoo.com, Or if you choose you can send a check to Central Valley Christian Center, please note on your check, India Missions. All contributions are tax deductible. We hope to have all funds in hand by May 3rd, 2009.
Sincerely,
Keith and Elizabeth McCann
PS I have also included a portion of an email from Pastor JP Christian as to what has happened in the work in Gujarat, India.
Email From Pastor JP Christian
Pastor Keith,
Here is an update on the work of Faith Church,
We did not baptize people at the last conference because Hindu fanatics always get the news about such events. They attack Christian Pastors with allegations that they are converting people through bribes or force. So though many wanted to be baptized at the conference, we did not arrange for them as a precaution.
But on Dec 16, we held a baptismal service at Godhra where I baptized 23 people. Just after baptism got over and all the believers were sitting in the church building, some Press photographers along with few Policemen came to us and started making inquiry about our ministry. Hardly few minutes had passed when about 25 Hindu fanatics came and started making noise and wanted to beat all of us. They took few people from the congregation aside and gave threats and told them to testify that they were being converted by us through money. And if they said so they would be given lot of money by the Hindu Outfit or else face consequences. Our church people did not get cowed down but answered boldly. And the fanatics got no reason to beat us or destroy property. This ruckus lasted almost 1 hour. Police was satisfied with our explanation and work. As Jesus was on our side, nothing serious happened. Praise God. Next day, 3 newspapers reported that some people attacked a church in Godhra and all the Christians ran away in four directions. This is not true but evil designs of fanatics to scare Christians. Keep on praying for us.
JP Christian
