1 A Great Harvest New Souls!!!!! New Souls!!!! 89 Souls Saved In First Night 287 Souls Saved In Second Night (Latest as of Sunday) Total 376 Souls Saved In Two Nights A Great Harvest!!! Thank You Bro Stan & Bro Richard We are able to focus on 39 unreached villages for conducting this great crusade. The Pastors did a great work in coordinating and bringing the unreached people in this crusade. We are getting hundreds of healing testimonies which I am able to put some important ones and Bro Stan preached the good news about Jesus in this two powerful nights and hundreds of people came forward to accept Jesus. There are many salvation cards brought to the team and also we telecasted this to the local television which goes to more than 500 villages and we will get some feed back to our office address which we would present later. This is a great harvest in this great village and the good news is we already drilled a borewell and Bro Stan & Richard witnessed the drilling process of this borewell and this would give families fresh and pure water. The great testimony is the fresh water

2 came in a very short feet where we did not get in any other place like this. A big thanks to Star Fish & Richard and Stan and other friends who together sponsored for this borewell. And we still need 8500 rupees for the completion. Please help us if you are able. We have practically already shown the village the love of Jesus. A New Star Fish Christian Church Was planted.. We also handed over bibles to each and every new soul and also we have started the process of locating a church for this village. The land owner who has offered us site to drill a well to the public wants to donate his land half of the cost, but it is almost UK Pounds. This is very high price and to built the church it costs us again more and more. So we located two paddy halls, which we need some renovation and in that one paddy hall is a large one which accommodates 150 people on an average Sunday. This had put us a way to get this paddy hall and we also got a new pastor for this work. His name is Pastor Sarveswar Rao. He decided to move to this village with family. We are trying to locate a sponsor to help this pastor on a monthly basis. The cost of this paddy hall, and the registration, and the renovation, the legal registration, fans, electricity, painting, walls repair, floor repair and the land of the paddy hall costs 5,50,000 rupees which would be roughly 5100 pounds. We are in faith want to give the land lord 5000 rupees as advance and we pray that you will be able to raise some funds for the Star Fish Church as the people will not go back again in dark. We are praying in faith that we would definitely get the sponsors as we are building His Church and not our church. We specially thank Bro Stan & Bro Richard for their hearts in sponsoring this crusade, without their support there would not be such a good harvest. We are rejoicing for the new souls. If you need the comprehensive budget for the church project, let me know I will send you. Our thanks to our team who have initiated the process of

3 searching the paddy halls and brought out in a very quick manner. Please pray for the new souls and their families and pray that the mobs, or persecution will not touch them in Jesus name. Testimonies: 01. Koalar Naidu I am coming from a Hindu family and I worshipped lot of gods in my life. One day I saw a royal enfield with a mic coming to our street and the man gave me a paper and told me to come to good news meeting. I am also told there would be a transport for me to come and I thought I have a work in the village where the crusade is, so I no need to spent money for the transport and came for the meeting. There are many people in the crusade and for the first time I heard the word heaven which I never thought in my life. Then Bro Stan (here we used your name) delivered the good news about Jesus which truly touched me. This is the first time I am hearing about a living God and I came forward to accept Jesus in my life. After this another thing happened I have a chest congestion and Bro Stan taught us to put our hand where the pain is and he prayed for us and in 20 minutes I got relieved of the chest congestion. The next night I brought my wife and she also gave her life to Jesus. We are happy to hear that we will have a church. I left all the gods and taken out all the gods in my living room. Now we are a family of Jesus. 02. Potiyala Lakshmi I am a pagan woman and always so strict to my religious practices. I visit lot of temples. We are worshipping more than 80 gods in our lives. We thought this crusade would bring us one more god and came for the crusade as we had an advt in our village. But when we heard the good news about Jesus, we got the living God. We are so innocent in our lives following this gods as our generations has passed on their system to our lives. But we got the opportunity through Bro Stan who

4 has given a heart touching message to our lives. We are happy to hear in the meeting that we will have a church here, and also we no longer belong to false gods. 03. Gandira Srugavan To be honest I do not know what a crusade means, but the poster was there in our area where I daily go to work, in that it is written prayers for the sick, which made me a surprise, but I thought of my condition which I am suffering from more than 5 years ( I will not mention my disease here), and decided to come for the crusade. I am happy that there was a auto rickshaw for us to come for the crusade and then I am surprised to see many people in this meeting and then was the good news about Jesus. For the first time I heard about the living God Jesus. I worshipped more than 120 gods in my life. But tonight I heard about Jesus and Bro Stan has taught us about Jesus in only few minutes which touched my heart. I came forward and accepted Jesus and sat down and then Stan prayed for the sick and I knew for what i came and I also done what Stan told me to do, and on that night I slept and in the morning my condition was normal and to confirm it I went to hospital and there is no disease which was there before and I shared this with my husband and he also came to the 2 nd night meeting and I wrote my testimony to give here, and also my husband also gave his life to Jesus. We are happy that we will have a church in our area. If Stan has not come to our area, I would not be saved or healed. 04. Enthola Pavanji I am very glad to write this testimony. My life was changed after I came to this crusade. I am offered a free transport. Basically I came from hindu family and also alcoholic and affected with some problems in the liver. But totally my life is changed after I heard about Jesus for the first time in my life. Bro Stan told the good news about Jesus and I did not come forward in the first night but Bro Stan

5 prayed for the people who are having sickness and I also put my hand on the affected part, and in the morning there is no pain for me and I am completely relieved and then I decided this 2 nd night I should fill in the salvation card, but to my surprise again Bro Stan told the good news and called the people again and I am lucky now to come in the front to accept Jesus and told the salvation prayer. I gave us the paganism and alcoholism in my life. I am full of Jesus now, I will know more about Jesus as when we have the church here. Thank you Bro Stan, I live in India and you live in the place where I do not know, but Jesus made you to come to save my life in the place where I am living. This is unbelievable but true. 05. Gojja Shivam My name itself says my gods name. Shiva is an important god in Hinduism. I am fond of my religion and all the gods I believe. I use to visit many temples a year. But actually I came to know that a crusade is going on here, and I came to the meeting to stop the meeting with my 5 friends. But seeing there many people we sat down in the chairs in the last row and decided to break the meeting. I am a heart patient and suddenly the pain started coming in the middle of the meeting and my friends are so upset with what has happened but I heard your good message about Jesus and did not even tried to stop the meeting but was touched and then you prayed for people who are having sickness and as I am having pain in the heart, I also put my hand and at that time I did not come forward, but after you prayed, the pain is gone I am so surprised, I am speechless, I shared this with my wife and she took me next day to hospital and the doctors told I had a mild stroke and I am lucky that I did not die. Jesus made me alive although I want to stop the meeting, my friends and myself came for the meeting again on the 2 nd night and came forward with my wife and we accepted Jesus. We do not know where you live, but you came to save our lives. We are so thankful to you for giving us a living God in our

6 lives and we threw away all the gods that are in our home. We are happy that we will have a church in our area. We will grow in Jesus. 06. Tandra Kurimpadu I am a pagan woman and also sell witchcraft threads for people who come to me from more than 10 villages. But myself I am sick and I knew this threads will not help me, but went to many hospitals but did not get cure for my arthritis. I am not able to control this pain and also I used the pain killers for a long time which affected my kidneys also and this also made me not to use anymore the pain killers. But I came to know about this crusade and want to come over here, and check any place to put up my stall and sell threads, but on that night my life was completely changed. I heard about the living God Jesus for the first time and this short message touched me so much and after message, I did not come feeling any people might see me but I raised the hand and accepted Jesus. Bro Stan prayed for the sick and told us to keep the hand where we are having difficulty and I have done this and I am instantly touched and healed. I have no pain now, I came back home burnt up all the threads I have and told the people I am no longer selling the threads who came to me on the morning they are surprised but I brought some few people to the crusade on the 2 nd night and in them 3 people gave their lives to Jesus. We are happy that we would have a church, and Bro Stan we thank you for your heart for reaching us as we are in a remote area. You gave us salvation and put us out of hell. 07. Malhotra Sri I am so glad that I am able to come to this crusade, otherwise truly I would go to hell because of my strict pagan practices and false religious beliefs. I am well educated and seen this crusade pamphlet in the news paper back, and decided to come and stop this meeting because we do not like this Christianity. But to be honest when there are many crowds I am fearful as I am alone and do not have a

7 support but sat back on the row of chairs provided and heard your message. For the first time I am hearing about a living God, our gods are made up of images and the second night also I came and became shy to come forward, but accepted Jesus, but filled down this salvation card. But my wife and children are blaming me and irritating me when I told them about Jesus. Please pray that they will also come to Jesus. 08. Kandala Jamuna Rao I have given my life to Jesus after coming to this crusade. I am an assistant to a temple priest and have heart problems and my temple board could not help me for my treatment. I am very poor and do not have means of support for my treatment. I came to know about this crusade through the local vehicle advt. and saw the hand bill saying prayers for sick, and so I came here thinking what I would get I do not know. But I heard your simple and powerful message about Jesus and then started to believe in Jesus and then you told you will pray for the people who are sick and I faithfully made my hand to my heart and you prayed and God touched me, I saw the light of Jesus touching my heart. Now I feel like a young boy and very soon I will go to the tests, but I am confident I am healed completely as I am not having the pains I use to get everyday. I told to my temple priest I quit my job and he told why I should do this, I told Jesus touched me and healed me. He is laughing at me. I do not care and bother. I will try to learn more and more about Jesus as I am able to read the bible. 09. Jagarlamudi Sukul I am a devotee of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Saraswathi. Although I worship 54 more gods, the three gods are main in my worship. But I am surprised to see the hand bill about a crusade and I came to this crusade thinking I would find another god who can do me things in my life. But after I came and heard your message about Jesus, then I realized the things that I am doing in my life are wrong and all the

8 gods I worshipped until now are false and have no life. Your message was so powerful that it was so easy to understand. Jesus has brought you to our village to give us an opportunity and not to go to hell. You saved my life, I accepted Jesus on the first night and also brought few friends to the crusade, which I do not knew if they gave their lives to Jesus. But I threw away all the gods I worshipped until now. Thank you so much for coming to our place and if you do not come, I would be definitely in hell. 10. Nakka Devi Priya I am a pagan woman and a sinner as well. I do not mention my bad life here, but I worship so many gods in my life. And also I am having gastric and bleeding problems from many years. I came to this crusade through a pastor who came to our village and told us to come to hear the good news. I heard about Jesus for the first time in my life. You told a very powerful message which I easily understood Jesus is the true living God. And then after the message, I gave my life to Jesus coming forward and you prayed for all the sick which I also put my hand on my stomach. But there is no use and still feel the pain, but while going back you told we can get healing at any time. At that time also I am having bleeding problem. But at 1 am my bleeding problem stopped and there is no gas pain in the morning. I came to the 2 nd night crusade and also brought my younger daughter for the crusade. She also gave her life to Jesus. I am so thankful to you for coming to our place and letting us know about the living God Jesus. We will continue to go to church here when we have the church. Please do pray for my husband who is still in false religion.
