through us in India.
Were making plans to establish a new missions base in
another city, and weve recently launched a new childrens
home in Kolkata, India. We can see Kingdom activity
multplying across the landscape of this nation, and were
blessed to be a part of what God is doing here. As the Lord
expands us, we believe He will expand our partners as
well. Partnership makes continued expansion possible.

SUPPORT
Consistent monthly support helps us to
plan and move forward with strength. Many don't
realize just how far their monthly contribution can
go, and when multiplied with the support of others,
how it really does add up.

We are standing in faith for 150 monthly

partners; a combination of individuals, churches
and businesses. And we're believing for our monthy
support to equal $15,000 minimum. As we reach
that goal, we will seek God for the next step. This
increase causes the work to continue to expand.
More income means more churches planted, more
children rescued, and more ministers equipped.
With all God has given us to accomplish,
there is no end to the funding we can use to get the
job done. Increase is coming!

THANK YOU
Words cannot adequately express how thankful we
are for you. You've prayed for us, and you've sowed
your precious seed into our ministry. Thank you!
We've made great progress this year, and we want to
remind you that you are a vital part of everything we
do in India for the glory of Jesus. Every soul saved,
every disciple made, every boy and girl rescued, it's
all fruit that abounds to your account. Eternal fruit,
which we will enjoy together forever!
As the Holy Spirit leads you, we ask that you
continue to stand with us as we reach out to one of
the greatest harvest fields in the world today. You
are right here with us as we watch eyes blinded by
generations of deception open to the glory of Jesus.
You are here as we help those most vulnerable,
precious children with no hope -- together we are
making their future bright!
Without you we couldn't do what God has called
us to do. God Almighty has called us together, to
gather fruit for eternity, and we're nowhere near
completion. The vastness of the harvest, and the

 Mamta is one of 16 precious children in Sikkim that we've taken into
our Hope Home. She is a jewel, as each of our kids are -- watching
them grow and become who God has destined them to be is pure joy.

Our Hope Home family in Sikkim is growing year after year, and we've
been busy making room for more children. In 2016, we built a new
building for our boys home, and our next step is to build a road into
our property so that we can continue expansion. We still need to build
more buildings to make room for what God is doing in Sikkim, and we
will continue one step at a time.

For Sikkim's "Hope Home" we still have a target for 12 boys and 12
MAMTA TAMANG girls. After we reach this goal, we will seek God for His next step in
Sikkim. At the same time, we are prayerfully taking steps to expand,

PARTNERSHIP. KOLKATAS HOPE HOME

Pictured here are the first two boys we rescued from the train stations of
Kolkata; Prem and Suman. As of this report we now have 5 boys with us and
have rented a home in Kolkata where we have room to take in 12 boys total. We
still need more sponsors for the home in Kolkata, and are already looking at
another location to begin rescuing more children. Please pray and stand with
us as we help more boys and girls. Together we are giving them a hope and a
future. The total monthly budget to run a home of 12 is $1500 per month.
