Dear ones who back us with prayer,
 
We thank God for you each time we think of you and every time we pray for you  BECAUSE OF THE WAY IN WHICH YOU HAVE backed us with your prayers from the very first day until now, in the work of the Gospel (Phil 1:3)
 
We are sure that GOD who began a good work among the Garasia people WILL continue it until it is finally finished!  This is a promise that God has given us time and again, and once again this morning I was blessed as I meditated on this and many other truths from the epistle to the Philippians ( 1:6)  
 
WE KNOW that as your PRAY for us and as the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps us....(1:19)
 
....the GAR people's love for Jesus Christ their Lord will keep on growing more and more, together with true knowledge and perfect judgment so that they wil be able to choose what is best (1:9-10)
 
....we will be happy, NO MATTER WHAT, so long as CHRIST is preached (1:18)
 
....we and they, will never do anything that causes us shame BUT BE BOLD FOR CHRIST and
 
.....that our lives will always honour Christ (1:20)
 
....the GAR believers will live in a manner worthy of the Gospel, as citizens of heaven...specially for Bado and Honi, the first believers and Suma, Mulchand's father. (1:27)
 
....the believers in Nasik field and the missionaries there, will KNOW that you and we stand with them side by side, fighting together for the good news,(1:27)
 
... so that they would not be intimidated by their enemies, specially that PAWAR will be overcome with God's peace and grace ever since his things were thrown out and the enemies of the Gospel put more pressure on him.(1:28)
 
April first two weeks we will be doing some computer checks on the translated NT in Bangalore.
 
...PRAY that every spelling error, inconsistency, or any other kind of error will be noticed and corrected and we will keep progressing towards the finishing line with accuracy to the source text and naturalness in the receptor language.
 
By end of April we move out of the Garasia field to Delhi:
 
...Pray for Dinesh, who is assigned as IEM's Associate Central Secretary for Field Ministries-North India :
 
...that he may ALWAYS be WITH the missionaries and local evangelists in this fight, empathising and understanding them and challenging them through the WORD, to be strong and press on. (1:30)
...that he may be able to help all the missionaries and local evangelists in this area to agree wholeheartedly with each other(2:2)
...to love one another (2:2)
...to work together with one heart and purpose (2:2)
... for discernment to understand people and their needs correctly.
 
THAT we as a family :
 
...may not be selfish (2:3)
...not live to make a good impression on others (2:3)
....that we may be humble thinking of each missionary and local evangelist as better than ourselves (2:3)
....that we will not think only about V4, BUT will be GENUINELY interested in others and what they are doing (2:4)
....that we may be content and have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives us (4:12)
....that Debbie will be able to understand the questions and reproduce precisely the answers to the questions as she appears for her Xth ISCE exams from the 29th of this month and be wholly dependant on the Lord.
....That Elisha will be able to concentrate and study well for his first year final exams, even though he knows that he will be moving to another college.
... to adjust and settle in a totally new setting, rural to urban,  with grace that comes from the Lord and not our own wisdom.
...for Elisha and Debbie's admissions
....for the right location and a house for the glory of God.
 
PRAY that our attitude will always be the same that Christ Jesus had and that through 'V4', many tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. (2:11)
 
We need your prayer backing more than ever before,
 
 
MAY GOD BE GRACIOUS TO YOU and fill you with HIS PEACE.
 
Lovingly
 
                                            Dinesh and Vickie
