Hello friends,

I hope this email finds you doing well!

Looking back on this last year as Americans, words such as exhausting, chaotic, lost, surreal, and heartbreaking might come to mind. World events, the pandemic, supply shortages, and the politics of our nation are the leading news stories we encounter on a daily basis. 

We shouldn’t be shocked or dismayed. Jesus said: “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold." (Mathew 24:12). The good news is that, in spite of the wickedness which fills the world, the gospel of Jesus Christ will continue saving sinners! Yes, evil is powerful, but Jesus is more powerful!

Even as Jesus talked about the spike in lawlessness, He also promised that the gospel would be proclaimed in all nations:

“And the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14). 

So we can rest in knowing that Jesus has a plan and nothing can stop Him. We are instruments in His kingdom and are full of His joy because of His promise.

There is no doubt that Kingdom work is being done in a mighty way through Sudhakar and Nirmala Rao’s ministry in India. This year was especially challenging for them as they also had lockdowns, mandates, Covid-19 illnesses, and the loss of several preachers to Covid-19.

In spite of all the challenges from the enemy, thousands of souls were saved throughout India because of their effort of sharing the gospel with the lost. There is a passionate desire in the hearts of these men and women to continue with a dogged determination to share the gospel with the small villages in India. With the power of Jesus, nothing can stop them!

The 102 orphan children are all doing well as they are all enrolled and advancing in school. The amazing stories of each child from where they came from to their current lifestyles are nothing but miraculous!

It is this time of year where we do some fundraising for Christmas as we like to give gifts to each child.  Would you be open to donating and having a big impact on a child’s life?

We know that you get asked all the time to give for many different causes. We can assure you that all of what you give outside of the cost of sending the money will be received by this good mission work.

If you would like to help, please visit our website www.sandrministries.org to donate or you could send checks to the address below. As always, we seek your prayers!

May God bless you and your family!

Grace and Peace,

David Odor
