Greetings in Jesus’ mighty name. This is a small note to thank you for coming in spite of being a busy man yet willing to come to a small church like ours. God bless you and have a stretched out ministry in the coming months.

Me (David Johnson) and my wife Dina, who is Dutch, live in the southern part (Chennai) of India with 7 children out of which 3 are our biological and the rest are adopted from different parts of India. Our home is called an extended home to the homeless where children are invited and given parental care. We are involved in such mission work since 1995 and pioneered 5 churches out of which 2 are already given away and 3 are being pastored by us. We are also running a FREE SEWING SCHOOL (Tailoring) for women from a downtrodden background and more than 125 women have graduated through this school and some of the testimonies are outstanding in terms of social transformation. One example is of a lady who was involved in the flesh trade (prostitution), who never wanted to be involved in that, but there was no other choice for her, as she never learnt anything that could keep her living. But the moment she came to know about this school she approached us and learnt this trade and now she is completely out of what she was into and has a clean life with the income she gets from her work. Thus this school has provided a great transformation in the lives of these poor women.

Besides this, we are also doing a FREE TUITION CENTER for the underprivileged children in the evenings to provide an extra care both spiritually and academically, and since most of these children are either ORPHANS or SEMI-ORPHANS (single-parented) and also economically very poor, their future is beyond hope. This situation has enabled us to dream of a home for about 35 children to give them a quality life and education to stabilize their future. We would appreciate your prayer for this cause.

We also have a church here where Brother VERNON DAVIS visited from 20 until 24 December 2011 (apart from the other places where he ministered during these two weeks). During these days the revelation of God’s word came so alive and was confirmed through MIRACLES and WONDERS. As a pastor, what I feel is that the BIBLE is in everyone’s hands but it requires a revelation to bring in a change in our lives and that REVELATION has become a rare commodity in the spiritual world today (Amos 8:11-12). Though we have many self-styled teachers and preachers it’s so difficult to find someone who will bring God’s heart to man. When this was our need and expectation God brought Vernon Davis among us and all that he taught was the exact need of our church. Though our church is small, that was our need, especially when he based all his teachings from 1 John 3:8, as it was Christmas season. It was an eye opener and a source of breakthrough in our church. Though these scriptures have been read many, many times it was brought forth with freshness and alive, that at hearing these words people were healed from cancer, deaf ears opened, witchcraft people were set free and liberated completely. There was an excitement of God’s word among God’s people. Though our church is about two years old and many meetings were held here, this is the meeting that brought forth a breakthrough. Now we have something to hold on to and keep moving. We thank God for these meetings and having enabled Brother Vernon Davis to come.

There are hundreds of RURAL ministers around this place who have no opportunity to hear such truths and sound teachings and so we are planning to invite Brother Vernon to come back in October this year to have a five-day seminar for these pastors and we request you to stand with Brother Vernon and strengthen his hands to be a blessing in the lives of these pastors and believers of this part of the world.

Pastors David and Dina Johnson
