Dear Friends,
Gang member.

The past few months can be summed up in two words hot and busy. Officially summer is over in India and children are now back to school. But the heat continues with temperatures in the low forties. 
Man with leprosy.
  
On Easter Sunday all of the “Healing Gospel Churches” came together to celebrate. To God be the Glory Prasad baptized 23 people on Easter Sunday. From the young to the very old from a gangster with a price on his head to couple suffering from leprosy they all made a public declaration to follow Christ. The heat was unbearable that day and by times Prasad wished he was being baptized himself but some how he managed to hold on until the end.

The month of May we welcomed some very special guest into our home.  Every year in May “Hope for the Children” closes it’s doors and most of the children go home. Those that don’t have a home or that don’t want to go home, come and stay with us for the summer holiday.   
















So our family of 3 expanded to 8 as 5 of our kids and “Joey” the dog came and spent the summer with us. 


 The summer was spent playing games, and finding ways to stay cool. The fact that due to problems with our well we had no running water and the two hours a day of power cuts made things that much more interesting. 

To finish the summer we took the kids to Kishkintha an amusement park here in Chennai.  


On May 15th Prasad held a pastors seminar at our church head quarters. The meeting was held outside because the building has become too small to hold these types of meetings. We were blessed by the amount of pastors that attended and received from Gods word and appreciated them braving the heat and spending the day outside under a tarp.

Pentecostal Sunday May 27th, Prasad was asked to help organize a meeting for Christians of different denominations to come and pray for revival in India and around the world. Although India is a democratic country with freedom of religion, we still faced opposition to the meetings from Hindu extremists. Thanks to the local police for keeping the peace we were able to hold the meetings with out incidence. About 50 RSS (Hindu Extremists) were arrested before the meeting started.
After weeks of hard work and Prasad spending the last few nights leading up to the meetings out all night putting up thousands of posters. The meetings were a huge success. Over 4000 people gathered to take part. The feeling of being in one accord and praying for the great nation on India was thrilling!

On June 20th Asha and I will be heading home to Canada I will be looking for opportunities to share about what God is doing in India. If you would like to have us come and speak please contact us at prasaddawn@hotmail.com.

With love and prayer,

Prasad and Dawn
