Dearest beloved Apostle Gary and nearest beloved Sister Shelley, family and church,
Greetings to you in the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you very much for your holy prayers, love and mail to us.
We do daily praying for you, your good health and your family.
We and many are so much blessed, healed, and received the anointing of the Holy Ghost by your visit to our places. Many of our fellowship ministers, saints and leper brother are giving their testimonies by letters, phone and personally to me and bringing Glory to God. They have new experiences now after you prayed for them. There are many testimonies and reports that I have to share with you.

They came to realize that even though their family, relatives, sons, daughters, wives, husbands and all the world may forget about them, Jesus and His children will never forget them.
In all the places we had visited, great results are coming in and many are coming to the Lord Jesus and we see the outpouring of the Holy Ghost in our area. We hope and daily pray that God is going to do great and mighty things in days to come through you in India and all over the world.
