If you remember there is a bad mix-up with the title deeds where Bro. Samson and the hindus both hold the title to the same land.

holding hindu prayer services next to his church and even attaching their tents right onto his church building! They have now agreed to leave providing Bro.

I don t know the amount needed to do this but it surely seems like the best way out of this situation as long as it is done with proper deeds and documentation

I am praying and believing that the Lord will move on them not to take advantage of this situation and will provide the funds necessary! He remains Jehovah Jireh!

7 Prayer Requests: Bro. Samson Shetty has messaged me over the last couple days concerning the hindu people that are living within the same property as his church and home. If you remember there is a bad mix-up with the title deeds where Bro. Samson and the hindus both hold the title to the same land. They have been causing lots of problems for his church calling the police, disrupting his services, refusing to allow special meetings with foreign ministers, holding hindu prayer services next to his church and even attaching their tents right onto his church building! They have now agreed to leave providing Bro. Samson can purchase their deeded land and house. I don t know the amount needed to do this but it surely seems like the best way out of this situation as long as it is done with proper deeds and documentation so they will not be able to come back and lay claim to something else! I am praying and believing that the Lord will move on them not to take advantage of this situation and will provide the funds necessary! He remains Jehovah Jireh! Please pray for Brother Samson Shetty and the saints. Upcoming Youth Banquet Save this date!

9 The area around the Dead sea, was once a lush agricultural area, as Genesis 13:10 says, "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar." Sodom and Gomorrah. Today, however, the whole area is desolate, the cities are different color (white ash) than the rocks of the surrounding area, indicating the magnitude of the catastrophe. Brimstone Balls. Building Gomorrah. The Bible testified of the wickedness of Sodom in the following verses: Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Genesis 13:13 "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly." There are thousands of Brimstone (Sulfur) Balls embedded in the ash ruins. These have melted material around them, along with ash. This has caused them to become encased, removing the oxygen from them, extinguishing the burning and thus preserving the Sulfur inside them. The Sulfur inside them is white in color, and in chemical tests, shown to be more than 98% pure. (Sulfur normally found is yellow, volcanic in nature, and is typically only 40% pure.) Deuteronomy 29:23 "And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:" Ash Sphinx. (Idol). Structures. The structures of the ruins are composed of layers of Calcium Sulfate, and Calcium Carbonate. This give the appearance of alternating layers of white and gray ash. They are very brittle, material is easily able to be "knocked off" the structures. The Lesson for us. The destruction of Sodom and the other cities is a warning to us today, as the Scripture says in 2Peter 2:6, "And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;" Luke 17:29,30 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. David Shearer. Page 8
