Dear beloved Brother, Greetings and best wishes to you in His precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am greatly privileged to share these few lines with you. Here every work is going well by grace of god. We are always remembering you in our prayers and thoughts. Every times we wish to know about you and your works of lord. I hope you are praying for us and all our works. Praise the Lord. At this time, I am insisted to share a special matter with you on 26th December there has been a huge flood occurred along the seacoast in our area. All are our co-pastors lost their houses (thatched) and churches. It was unexpected and many villages are drowned in the flood. Thousands of people, children and oldaged were dead. Thousands of houses are washed way and the whole of their belongings were driven in the flow of flood. For your kind information few of the villages which affected by flood are our gospel outreach villages. We regularly visit them and preach the gospel. They are all very poor people and depend upon daily labor through fishing and other agricultural work. Now they lost everything including their clothes, entinisils, houses (thatched) and all belongs to them. At present they are standing with empty hands looking for any kind of help to look after themselves and their family members. We have visited some villages where our people are living and observed their condition. They are in deep sorrow by losing some of their family members and belongings. It is really a tragic situation to see their tragedy. They all have asked me to assist them in any way for their relief and rehabilitation at present. For this, we need to supply them atleast some rice, vessels and clothes as a temporary relief. Even through we cannot provide a permanent safeguard to all these people, but some kind of present help will enable them to eat food and live somedays. Through our prayers, the Lord visioned for the survive of these suffered people. By this inspiration, I am sharing these peoples situation with you. At this stage any kind of your support will be so esteemingly useful to keep them on sustained position. While having no any resource. We are all looking forward for your gratitude. I am here with sending you this pictures of the disaster, them you can understand how terrific, this present condition is the Lord will richly bless you and motivate to assist for the rehabilitation measures for our people. We are all so anxiously waiting for your gracious concern. You may be blessed with all comforts to co-operate with the present deed and need. Kindly pray for our people and pastors to get relieved from this stage. Kindly let me have your encouragements in this regard. All our best regards to all who are with you. Yours Brother in Christ, Pastor G.Balasundaram.
