from the pastor

My dear People, Did you notice the changed signboard outside the sanctuary? My phone numbers have been replaced with those of Rev J T Raja and Raj Upadhyay. Im not quitting immediately, but when the old faded signboard needed to be replaced, it made economic sense to put their names and numbers up. I will continue to have pastoral oversight till the end of April 2014. Thats just 8 months away. I did want to be able to finish what I had started by laying the foundation for a sanctuary for our sisters and brothers in the village. Looks like that wont happen before my times up. Well, that cant be helped now, unless a miracle happens and all of you decide to fulfill my vision. Rev Raja and Raj already share the pulpit with me and give some of the pastoral care whenever I am not around. They are both good men. They are deeply committed to the lordship of Jesus in their personal lives and in their ministry to the Church, the Body of Christ. I know the church will be kept safe through their ministry. I feel satisfied. Love, Pastor Kuru
