Dear Friends,
The months have flow by and we are now heading into the rainy season. Days of rain and mud puddles that resembles small lakes.

The past months have been full with teams and visitors from home. After returning from our regional retreat in July we were visited by our second team this year. We welcomed APC "Agincourt Pentecostal Church" Scarborough. This was a special time for us because the team leader Pastor Laura Bogner and her husband Andy have been friends of ours for many years.


The team focused on children’s ministry. During the day visiting schools and in the evening holding children’s crusades. Hundreds of children were touched, loved and moved by the team’s ministry. Magic tricks, puppets and games were just a few of the items the team had brought along with them.
The team reached out to some of the poorest of the poor including a visit to a leper colony and a fabulous party at our children’s home. We want to thank the APC team for all of their hard work. You did an awesome job!
In August work started again on our church plant. Thanks to the HEART project started by Murray Cornelius. The walls were going up when work was shifted to a much needed home for the pastor of the church. Pastor David and his family were forced to move three times this year and could not find a home suitable for his family. Thanks to the HEART program Pastor David and his family will have a place to live.

Because of the construction of the home we still need $10,000 dollars to complete the project. Please pray that we will see the funds raised for the project. Our prayer is that we will be able to hold a service in the new church by Christmas.

In September we began preparation for our next team KRT "Kennedy Road Tabernacle"Brampton. KRT has been supporting our ministry since 2006 when a team came and began construction on “Hope for the Children”. They visited again in 2007 to build the compound wall around the home.


This time KRT came to begin construction on the home of an additional building to house the boys at the home. Not only did KRT help build the foundation but thanks to Pastor Jamie Stewart and Zia Moradi they also helped in a huge way to fund this project.
Over the past two week the team carried cement “Indian Style” on their heads. Dug holes and moved mountains of mud. All the work paid off and at the end of the two weeks they had laid the foundation for the new building.
In the between the construction they took part in outreach, a children’s party at the home and a very exciting visit to a leper colony. We thank them for all their hard work and flexibility.
A look forward our next team arrives the end of this month our WM (Women’s Ministries) team will be focusing on women and children ministries.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as our ministry continues to move forward.
Prasad and Dawn
