Gospel and Social Service
Praise God for the wonderful testimony of my dream mission for the preparation of soldiers for Christ. I have gotten an opportunity by the Grace of God to strive to know, follow, initiate and belong to Jesus Christ in a very deep and special way made available to a lay person. It has been raised up by Holy Spirit to answer the needs of our times and to evangelize our secular society to reach out to hundreds of uncharted people and fallen away faithful and to teach faithful how to live out and deepen their lives in Christianity in the remote tribal villages. They find their strength and energy in a life of prayer centered on the faith. Please let me introduce myself. I am Rev. Dr. B. John Emmanuel Raju, D.D. I am 44 years old. I am doing the Jesus Christ Service for the past 20 years. We have visited 15 surrounding villages regularly to lead the people towards Jesus Christ by my Gospel. On these occasions, I am distributing Gospel Tracks, new Testaments and other material of biblical subject to the people of these villages. In order to achieve these objectives, I used to visit door to door and praying for their illness and help the poor widows, orphans by providing food, shelter, clothing, medicines and financial support for their essential needs like medical treatment, education etc.
On my personnel prayers, I always remember “O my Jesus, you have said, “Truly I say to you, ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you” (Mt 7:7)
We are using our profession, education, talents and skills in the mission to serve the poor and needy. By the grace of god, I have been in this mission for over 21 years and I am very grateful to God for allowing me to be little part of His great work. Without rendering such a service people might otherwise be condemn to their state of poverty. The poor around us desperately need our service to educate, care for and lift them up from their state and teach them how to improve their quality of life and standard of living. We educate people how to make good use of resources and foods available them. We are also providing first aid in the field of health care. So many people are sick and fear going to hospitals for a variety of reasons. People are just suffering the disease and dying unnecessarily. People are afraid to open about their ailments, but when they know we are a missionary to release them and they easily open up bout their problems which are most of the time easily solvable. When remote tribal people go to hospital, the doctors are typically rough and uncompassionate with the patients. It seems they are only concerned about the money. Many times, if don’t pay up front, no matter how bad of shape you are in, they won’t treat you.
I know people who have died because they didn’t have the funds to pay the Doctor for a life threatening surgery; we make an arrangement to provide a doctor who is a member of my mission. He takes his time and is patient with them. He also helped many people get through and recover from simple as well as serious illness.
Dear brothers and sisters, Praise the Lord. This is my service and Gospel, Social work to my surrounding village people.
In the Service of the poor and remote tribal area’s children, we are conducting regular weekly Sunday schools and medical camps, food, clothing, education etc. We are making them as good citizens of this country. Around 50 children are getting our services in orphanage home. As on today, we have an enormous response from the village people who were massively converted to Christianity and they stand for Jesus Christ. They were participating our regular weekly masses with dedication and full faith. Here presently around 100 or above member in each church are running in 15 different remote villages with 24 churches. Each church is running with one poor Pastor who is also dedicated to working beyond their capacity. Some of the churches does not have permanent buildings also. But still our pastors are actively conducting their regular weekly masses.
Church Members gathered under the Tree for conducting Weekly Sunday Mass. Now we have started an innovative programmed to service the old age people and widow in our churches and their neighboring areas. In these programs we are supplying food, cloths, and medicines regularly and also preparing them for gospel by door to door campaign for conducting prayers and lead the new souls toward Jesus. Pray for us as we are going to construct a shelter for them to improve their services and make this program success.
Please provide help for the construction of a bible college or a children's home. Details are given in the below paragraphs.
We are also conducting bible classes & colleges for the youth to make them confident to become preachers. The total members of youth in my service and in ministry are 250. Kindly pray for this effort as we are struggling hard for procuring books, bible material and various Gospel books and other stationary. We also are planning to provide a shelter for them. So that this programmed may take in large scale and also planning to expand our mission beyond our present remote villages. We have also delegate a responsibility to the youth who are well trained with us, to the remote villages still nobody knows about Jesus and spreading this gospel even remote corers of the tribal villages in West Godavari. In order to achieve this programmed, we are hiring a rented vehicle, with rented sound systems, electrical, visual media equipment for every week. Because of limited resources, we could not make up this programmed so successful. Kindly pray for us to procure vehicle and own electrical, visual media equipment so that we can extend our support to Gospel with these bright and young & dynamic youth achieve wonderful and fruitful result.
We distribute of books, slates, plates & glasses to the children of poor in remote tribal areas.
We have distributed food items, mats, buckets and other essential commodities for the victims of a fire accident. We are distributing rations and essential commodities like rice, mats, buckets etc to the victims of the accident.
We are also conducting medical camp for the poor remote tribal women. The camp has a Doctor giving instruction to the poor patients.
We are also distributing cloths to old age widows in the remote village.
At last I wish to convey that while conducting such wonderful programs, we are facing both a financial crisis and a social crisis. Despite all these hurdles we have determined to put forth our service. So far I am conducting these programmes with the mobilization of local funds through my colleagues. I am a middle class person and with the help of such like minded employee’s participation we are going in such a progressive gospel program. We don’t have any external funds apart from my salary and some small contributions from my employees. So I am requesting all of you to help provide any type of help such as medicines, books, visual media equipment, vehicle provision, etc that may definitely be helpful in my Gospel work and I beg you that you kindly became an associate in my service by extending your support and your prayers.
All these programmers are conducted under my guidance while facing many difficulties and also I am engaged on this task round the clock for the Lord Jesus and the reason for such an effort is by the holy bible verse “I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS” Phil: 3:14.”
For us a specified church is not there. That's why we are praying in tents. Please pray and help. Our ail is the construction of a church in 2008. We are trying our best. Please pray and share our problem with neighbors and tell them to pray and help us.
Please pray and help the poor pastor and orphan children for the construction of churches and a bible college in my village and surrounding areas. Our youth members are very interested in Jesus. I and my pastors gather togetheer and discourse about the matter and bible college in our village. We are collecting some funds. These are being totally spent for the orphaned children and their maintenance.
for youth and churches for the poor people in surrounding areas.
The people are interested in constructing a new church. We are also trying very hard to construct a bible college for youths and churches for poor people in surrounding areas. The funds coming from people are not sufficient. Please pray and help in sharing this need with your neighbors and relatives so that they may help us solve this problem. We also need a van our car. Once again please pray and help us.
Therefore, it is requested that my brothers and sisters in the name of Jesus kindly pray for and help me in my services for the poor and remote village people.
Thanking you, I am,
Rev. Dr. B. John Emmanuel Raju
