'Thank You' from India

Mark and I received this email from Bala Sundaram in Agra, India.  He has listed all that has been done with the money sent by members of Gateway.  We thought everyone should know of the good things being accomplished for believers there.  Thank you so much for your generosity, but most of all, thank you for your prayerful support for brothers and sisters in India.

MY BROTHER AND MY SISTER I THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT HELP YOU HAVE BEEN TO JESUS MISSION. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THINGS DONE WITHIN DAYS . WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING  FOR ONE YEAR FOR ALL THESE THINGS.
 
AFTER MY ARRIVAL I  HAVE INQUIRED FOR WATER MACHINES.  THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL ROOM SEPARATELY BUILT FOR THIS.  I IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT SOME BRICKS, SAND AND CEMENT. THEY STARTED WORKING . THEY ALMOST COMPLETED BUILDING THE ROOM . ALONG WITH THIS I ALSO AM TRYING TO BUILD A BATHROOM FOR GUESTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND I WILL TRY TO SEND THEM  TOMORROW IF THE PHOTO STUDIO DELIVERS ME THE PHOTOS.  AS SOON AS THE ROOM IS BUILT . THEY WILL INSTALL THE WATER SYSTEM  . I WILL SEND  THE PICTURES.
 
THE WORKS I HAVE DONE WITH THE HELP OF THE MONEY SENT TO US BY GATE WAY BAPTIST CHURCH ARE........
 
1. WE HAD NO KITCHEN. WE USED TO COOK OUT SIDE WITH HE HELP OF  COWDUNG CAKES AND FIRE WOOD OUT SIDE UNDER THE SHADE. NOW I HAVE BUILT A GOOD KITCHEN FOR JESUS MISSION.  I ALSO HAVE BOUGHT TWO GAS CYLINDERS AND OTHER NEEDED THINGS FOR KITCHEN.
NOW I HAVE THREE WOMAN  WORKING FOR US IN THE KITCHEN. THEY  COOK FOR  BIBLE SCHOOL STUDENTS , THE STAFF AND ORPHANS.  I WILL SEND THE PHOTOS OF KITCHEN AN THE STAFF TOMORROW. THE DOCTORS DOUBT THAT THE DISEASE WHICH ATTACKED THE CHILDREN MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OR WATER OR COOKING.....
 
2. I ALSO HAVE APPOINTED A COUPLE TO WASH THE CLOTHES OF CHILDREN.
DOCTORS TOLD ME TO DO THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY SMALL AND YOUNG CHILDREN WITH US. THEY CANNOT WASH THEIR CLOTHES. 
 
3. WE HAD NO GOOD REST ROOMS. CHILDREN AND STAFF WERE TAKING WATER IN A BOTTLE AND GOING OUT INTO THE FIELDS.  I  COULD BUILD 5 RESTROOMS (LAVATORY)  AND COULD BUILD 3 GOOD BATHROOMS.  THERE WERE TWO BATHROOMS BEFORE BUT NOT IN GOOD CONDITION. I MADE NEEDED REPAIRS TO THEM AND BUILT THE OTHER ONES WITH THE HELP OF THE MONEY SENT BY YOU.
 
4. THERE WAS SOME AREA WHERE  WATER WAS GETTING ACCUMULATED  WHEN IT RAINS.. CHILDREN COULD NOT PLAY FOR MANY DAYS BECAUSE OF THIS. SO I COULD RAISE THE LEVEL OF HE GROUND AND PROVIDE A GOOD PATH OF BRICKS FROM THE BUILDING TO THE BATHROOMS.
 
5. ALL THE CHILDREN HAVE BOOKS.  IT COST ME ALMOST 20,000 RUPEES ( A LITTLE LESS) 
 
6. ALL THE CHILDREN HAVE BAGS...
 
7. THEY HAVE SCHOOL DRESS  AND ALSO JESUS MISSION UNIFORM
 
8. I BOUGHT A SEWING MACHINE FOR JESUS MISSION AND HIRED TWO TAILORS. THEY STITCHED TWO DRESSES EACH FOR ALL THE CHILDREN.
 
9. I BOUGHT NEEDED RACKS FOR OFFICE AND BIBLE SCHOOL AND THE SCHOOL.
 
10. I BOUGHT SCHOOL MATERIAL LIKE BLACK BOARDS  OTHER NEEDED TABLES AND REGISTERS ETC.
 
11. NEARLY 15 CHILDREN ARE GETTING REGULAR TREATMENT FROM GOOD DOCTORS WITH THE HELP OF THE MONEY SENT. SOME OF THEM ARE SUFFERING FROM  T.B  AND OTHER DIFFERENT SICKNESS.
 
THANK YOU FOR READING ALL THIS AND PRAYING FOR JESUS MISSION.
I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF ALL OF THIS. I WILL GET THEM PRINTED FROM THE STUDIO MAY BE TOMORROW.
 
I NEED TO BUY  BELTS, SHOES AND TIES FOR ALL THE CHILDREN.......THIS WILL COMPLETE ALL THE SCHOOL WORK. PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS.
