Sorry for this delayed reply due to our internet did not support, very slow and most of the time did not work when I have some time to communicating with you all and send our reports etc.  So I waited all these days when I got it (most of the time its working but not supporting) by the technical side, POWECUT 10 HOURS IT WILL GOES 12 HOURS SOON, HERE THE SUMMER SEASON HAS STARTED AT PRESENT GOES TO TEMPERATURE HIGH GRADUALLY.

 
Thank you for both of your recent mails, about our Respected Brother Bud health report of his Doctors appointment result, and about our well beloved sister Mariea, We are happy that both of you ( Bud and Mama Joy) are doing well and are in reasonable health, you are doing so much for the Ryali area Lord’s work, personally you made us busy in His Service like preach Christ crucified, saving souls, helping the poor (through our Bud & Joy Children Home)  and running the Song of Joy School to provide good education along with our Home Children with Christian values, and serve the poor through our Christian charitable Society in many ways to reach the people with Saving Gospel, so we hope and faith that our Merciful Lord will have mercy and heal all the pains and problems through all of our prevent prayers, special prayers and supplications. We are sure He is surely taken care about both of you as He does all His selected families and workers.  We are praying for your health and speedy recovery.  We trust on God about your further medical tests will also went well and you will feel much better for us.  All of our Home Children, my family and all the saints in the Church and the staff in the School also join with us in prayers for you and your speedy recovery and well being.

We regularly visited our local Congregations where we have established newly congregations and preachers who are converted from other denominational and from Hindu religious groups and we have aware that many "newly established Congregations" and continually train up the Newly converted preachers and young ones through our Preachers Training School.

The Month of February also very fruitful month for us, I was attending some our remote area meetings, Gospel Campaigns, and Preachers workshops at another District head quarters. Then I took part in two out reach programs, and 4 gospel meetings in that district by invitations of the that local area preachers who are willing to learn the truth of the New Testament doctrines and True Church.

We have conducted a Medical camp with Eye specialists’ and help the poor through our Ryali Church of Christ, reports will be soon, and our Preachers fellowship meetings were went well for January and February in 2012, and most of of our preachers submitted their monthly work and baptismal report, I will send you soon as our quarterly report after March 2012, we are looking for some other reports from our working preachers who are unable to attended in our monthly preachers fellowship,

You are inspiring me through your mails, prayers, love and financial encouragements, My parents were inspired by Apostle Paul and named me Jaya Paul (Paul the victorious) when I was child, by the Grace of God, He called me as His (humble) servant to work for Him, it is my duty to live unto that name,  I am not that great, but we try to do our at most in His service. 36 years back I started preaching New Testament Truth at our village. His Church was started with just 6 members (just my family) among Hindu communities.  There was an outcry by Hindu religious groups, and the entrenched denominational groups. I had to face so many obstacles even physical threats. 

Dear Bud and Mama Joy: God selected both of you (Bud and Joy McDonald and family members first) to introduce this Ryali area Lord’s work through your daughter at Riverchase, and East Cullman, and through both of you wherever you go and worship there at Mobile, especially at Creekwood at present and sent our Respected Elder Mike & our well beloved Sister Nelly Eddlemon and Brother David Sargent  to share the fellowship with us in firsthand and invited me to saw face to face to you all who were in my dreams and thoughts, now you are in my real eyes thoughts, etc, are still I feeling it was a dream in my life as His humble servant who are working as your Missionary here in India..

By the Grace of our Lord and all your prayers now the Ryali Church at Ryali have grown into a healthy tree; actually become a Mission Center for new congregations established. We are supporting (Spiritually and monetarily) and helping the poor, needy and orphan children through our Bud & Joy Children Home, provide good education in English Medium with Christian values through our Song of Joy School, as we need trained preachers for our Newly established Congregations, we are making them through our Preachers Training School, All this in addition of the main work of carrying the Word of God and saving unsaved souls. There are difficulties some of them are so peculiar and local that people of U.S.A, accustomed to a single dominant Religion can not understand.

Of course all nations worshiped and worshipping Idols as this is Universal Sinfulness of mankind, now and then. But in our pagan Nation of India, There were gods every where, gods of the sky, gods of the earth, gods of the sea, gods of the stars, gods of of the land, gods of the cities, gods of the countries, gods of the mountains, gods of the valleys, gods like (corruptible) man, male gods, female god, families of gods, gods of the animals, birds, creeping things, beasts, etc. Especially our nation called itself Idol-Worshiping nation. The great land of India, a land of over a billion lost souls without True Gospel, Real Savior, and One True Living God.

In India there are 25 Major Religions and about 250 minor ones. Christians are a tiny minority of 2.5 % (not only the Churches of Christ) including all the so-called Christians are belongs to all denominational groups.  So you can imagine about the members of the Churches of Christ and the vast potential harvest. All these years we are doing so much to do with so little through your Yearly Donations, monthly support you are sending in His Name for His cause. .

Whatever is achieved here at Ryali is entirely due to the prayers of real Christian’s souls like you and all the Sisters, brothers at Creekwood, Riverchase and East Cullman Churches of Christ. “More Things Are Wrought By Prayer than This World Dreams of”

We had a great work to do, we are doing what we can, there is a great Responsibility is placed on our shoulders. That is we have to justify the Faith and hopes of our beloved Sisters and brothers and prove to be worthy of it. This we will do even at the cost of our lives.

Everything here at Ryali is going on smoothly in spite of the office work, attend to send our immediate response and replies, even to important receiving mails and letters which we have here and there, especially will send our Thanks and gratitude to both of you and to each and every sponsors of the Bud and Joy Home Children, Widows, special donors, prayer partners, and we have many well-wishers of the Ryali area Lord’s work, and Thanks to all the Respected Elders, Deacons, Ministers, staff who are always in our prayers. 

I regret my inability to send our thanks and reply to you as an early as this, please kindly understand our busy in His service and task, so please kindly forgive us for this delay. 

The Ladies Class is doing wonderful work in carrying the Word to as many women as possible and visits other villages where we have established in this Ryali area. They are way ahead of our Brothers and some of our working preachers. The dedication of these Sisters (many of them illiterates but very intelligentsia to preach Christ and N.T.Truth) enable us to care for the sick, aged and the needy people will go and pray for them along with their group. Your prayers and financial support goes a long way in this Ryali area.

The children are preparing for their Annual (final) exams, they need all of your prayers will get good grades will bring good name to our Bud & Joy Children Home and Song of Joy School. Please remember for the play ground needed, not only important for children sports and playing ground, but also our educational system will required some play ground to run the secular School according to the School rules and regulations, if not we will close this School for next academic year 2012-2013. All these years the educational department are overlooked in some way, but strictly passed the special Notice for the next academic year. We humbly request each and every CHRISTIAN HERE AND THERE TO JOIN US IN OUR PRAYERS FOR THIS IMPORTANT AND URGENT NEED.

We have been blessed in all of our ventures up to now by our Lord, and by all of your encouragements, prayerfully we hope He will bless this need of playground problem. 

This mail has become long, please allow me to close for now, as we have so many things to say and write about our Ryali area Lords work what we are doing, and what is going on here day by day, week after week, and month after month and Year by Year through all of your prayers and financial encouragements, and regular support. 

Please be assured that both of you Bud and Joy McDonald and all of our Respected Elders, Deacons, Saints and all the sponsors of the Ryali area Lord’s work, and of our Bud & Joy Home children, widows of my brothers and all the Saints at Creekwood, Riverchase and East Cullman Churches of Christ are always in all of our prayers.

May the Grace of God, love of Jesus, and the Peace of the Holy Spirit abound towards you all forever and in never ending stream!

RYALI – 533 236, E.G. Dt., (A.P) S. India

Dear and Respected Brother Bud and Mama Joy McDonald,

Greeting to you all in His precious Name! We are all fine by the grace of God and by the fervent prayers of you all.

I hope and pray you are all doing well. Thank you very much for your continued love, appreciations, Support and encouragements.

There are many large denominational and Hindu groups, who are raising lots of money for lots of projects, like the Charity Hospitals, Bible & Secular education here in India. But we are outstanding for Gospel preaching, saving souls, help the poor, and in training preachers to work for Him, etc.,

We the Ryali area Preachers, Trainee preachers, and the members of the Ryali church of Christ were faced attacks, and detained by the Hindu religious groups, police (cop) department are temporarily seized some of our public meetings and Gospel out reach programs, but by the Grace of God and by the influence of the Ryali Church of Christ, we managed in some way to bring them out from police and taking everything as our Challenging task, to reach the lost, please continue your prayers that we will get good results in every day, every month and in every year, the people will know the real God, Savior of the Mankind, and the True worship & the True Church.

We don’t’ know what the future holds, but we know WHO HOLDS THE FUTURE.

Please find the work report and progress of the work in each Month and Quarterly Work Reports – 2011

Whatever we have done here is entirely due to the help, encouragement of the people like you. May the Lord bless you!

Song of Joy School Main Goal is Educating the Poor, is the key to the lasting success of the Lord's church here in India. If we can strengthen the Lord's church in India physically and spiritually it will be helpful to the Kingdom of Christ. We have to produce strong Christians. We are in processes and made some of our Home children are leading the Singing and Sunday Schools, and be able to preach the God Word at anywhere, after they settled, they can also establish some Congregations and work for Him in some way. We pray through our Song of Joy (Christian) School and Bud & Joy Children Home will produce strong educated Christians. If they grow in the Love of the Lord from their childhood we are sure they will become healthy matured Christians and also economically productive in our society.

So! We don't like to leave them after graduation of 10^th Class. We would like to see them go on to be doctors, engineers or officers in somewhere, if we will raise some more special funds for their college fees (which is not possible for the poor children, those courses are available only in Corporate Colleges) etc. If we produce those type of Christians from our Bud & Joy Children Home and from our Song of Joy School, from these poor communities here in India and the Church in India will someday become self supported and more than to be able to send missionaries to other areas in this pagan land of India and also foreign lands.  Until that, we are totally dependant upon the generosity of others who can help us for all these needs like the Creekwood, Riverchase, and East Cullman Churches of Christ. We are doing maximum with our minimum funds, for education and charity, and as well as our Evangelical work.

We are happy to inform you that the Song of Joy School is doing fine and soon greatly finish another academic year 2011-2012 in the Month of May2012, will be success through all of your prayers and encouragements in many ways in His Name. The next academic year 2012- 2013 will start from the First week of June 2010 according to our State Government rules. 

Let us all pray that our Song of Joy School will be a beacon light of educating the more children with Christian values in this Ryali area and also from other areas and villages, we are trying to attract many more in the future when we provide many more facilities, (We need one more School Bus) for our Song of Joy School children facilities.

THANKS TO ALL THE DONORS AND WELL WISHERS

 THERE AT CREEKWOOD

You are all in our Prayers every day and every time,

Yours in His Kingdom,

Ryali Church of Christ,

India,

Please pray for this Preachers Training School;

First of all our sincere thanks to John & Diana Kelly family who provided the Building facility for our Preachers Training School, as we have the “Wendell J. Kelley” Memorial Building, and thankful to you all for your great encouragements.

Teaching process is an outstanding medium to create more men to “contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to the Saints.” We need Bible centered preaching. We need doctrinal preaching. We need balanced preaching. We need effective preaching. We need powerful preaching and we need preaching in love. To accomplish the above qualities for the preaching, the men must be trained in the Bible and in Bible doctrine in a Bible School. So our Ryali Church of Christ start this Preachers Training School, We need such kind of Preachers in those places where we have established in this Ryali area.

By the grace of God, through all of your prayers and encouragements we are continuing this School at present we run this School one day (Saturday) in a week, 4 or 5 day in a month.  Most of these Trainee preachers already have a congregation where we have established, who are converted from various communities and denominational groups. who are eager to learn more from Bible, so we will be able to keep close and encourage them and their working congregations as our regular programs, visiting and encouraging them, and collectively, they are preaching, teaching and converting hundreds each year, from their communities and religious groups.

The market rates has gone up, all provisions, vegetables, rice, gas, diesel fuel, Train & Bus fares and all most everything else has increased. These are horrible days for us here in India, to go on smoothly. In the past we were managed Two days( Friday & Saturday) in every week, in some way we have managed through your regular support and in special donations, etc,. Please Pray. 

Please allow me close to enough, if you need any special information, I will send soon, about our Preachers Training School.

Yours in His Service and task,

P.S.R.JAYA PAUL, Minister
