Greetings to you in the name of Jesus our Lord and Saviour!
Hope this finds you and your dear family member in good health and
prospering in the Lord.

I am glad to inform you that yesterday, that is June 24, 2006, we celebrated
a special Sabbath meeting at Kallakal Village, about 40 miles away from my
home. About 60 Members from four small villages of Dabilpura, Yellampet, Atveli
and Medchal attended the special Sabbath worship service.

Most of these people were formerly sunday-keepers and attended small
independent churches. I have been preaching to them and to their Pastors
for the last 4/5 months, and I am glad to inform you that during yesterday's
Sabbath Meeting one Pastor with 30 members joined our Church and are now
observing the seventh day Sabbath every week. Five persons were baptised by
me including one Muslim woman. After baptism, we have re-named her as Ruth
as per her request. We have distributed some Holy Bibles in the local Telugu language.

There is good potential for the growth of the church in these villages. God
willing another two or three independent Pastors also are likely to join
our church along with their members.There is no church building in any of the four villages mentioned above. It would be a good proposal to construct a small church which is centrally located. We need about US $ 2500.00 to buy a small plot of land for construction of the church building. Please pray for this church building project.

Yours Brother in Christ,

JACOB RAO
