OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIA
Due to a
tremendous response to our television ministry throughout India, we
established an office in Hyderabad in 2007. Jonathan Ratnam is the
coordinator and directs the follow-up process. He works with over 40
preachers in the
Telangana
Andhra Pradesh state distributing Bible study materials to
those responding to the television messages.
These
studies are easy to read and understand and are available in two languages,
English & Telugu. English is the second most spoken language in India and
Telugu is the third most popular language, primarily spoken throughout
Telangana
Andhra Pradesh. All of these studies are free to those requesting them.
Every
year, Bret makes a trip to
India
to visit and encourage those working with the follow-up program. While
there, he speaks in a number of different places. He also provides
assistance to the Indian people in a variety of ways. He purchases Telugu
language Bibles for $3.00 each and song books for many individuals and
congregations. He also purchases bicycles for $75.00 each and sewing
machines for $100.00 each. The bicycles are made available to a number of
preachers to use as they travel from village to village sharing the Good
News with others. The sewing machines are given to widows who have no other
means of supporting themselves or their families.
