INDIA IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS; THE GOSPEL OF LOVE.

DEEPLY ENTRENCHED IN HINDU, ISLAMIC, AND PAGAN RELIGIONS; CHRISTIANS ARE VIEWED AND TREATED AS LESS THAN THE LOWEST CLASS OF PEOPLE; OFTEN STONED, SHUNNED, AND PHYSICALLY ATTACKED IN MANY OF THE TRIBAL AREAS.

THE NEED IS GREAT AND THESE NATIVE PASTORS ARE IN THE TRENCHES OF

THE WARFARE, ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE GOSPEL. THEY URGENTLY NEED OUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT AS THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS YOU.

REV. DR. JOHN K. RATNAM, BASED IN HYDERABAD INDIA IN ANDHRA PRADESH; IS A NATIVE PASTOR AND DIRECTOR OF “UNITED FAITH ASSEMBLIES OF CHRIST MINISTRIES”.

BROTHER JOHN TRAVELS AROUND TO THE TRIBAL AREAS IN SOUTHERN INDIA SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS. HE IS OFTEN ABUSED, SPAT ON, VANDALIZED, STONED, BEATEN, AND RUN OFF BY THE LOCAL PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH;

YET, IN LOVE,
HE CONTINUES TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS.

THE EXTENT OF BROTHER JOHN'S MINISTRY IS FAR REACHING AND ENCOMPASSES MUCH MORE THAN HIS STREET MINISTRY INTO TRIBAL AREAS. BROTHER JOHN AND HIS TEAM ARE COMMITTED TO THE SPREAD OF GOD’S LOVE, EMULATING THE WORKS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS. THEY GIVE MUCH TO THE POOR AND WIDOWS; AT LEAST AS MUCH AS THEY ARE ABLE WITH THEIR LIMITED RESOURCES: RESOURCES OF FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER, COMFORT, AND THE GOSPEL OF JESUS; OFTEN GOING WITHOUT ANY SORT OF PERSONAL COMPENSATION OR SALARY THEMSELVES.

BROTHER JOHN AND HIS MINISTRY TEAM HOUSE, FEED, EDUCATE, AND DISCIPLE SOME FIFTY ORPHAN CHILDREN. PROVIDING A CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT FOR THESE
CHILDREN WHO WOULD OTHERWISE
BE HOUSED IN GOVERNMENT FACILITIES AND INDOCTRINATED
IN THE HINDU RELIGION
WITHOUT HOPE; WITHOUT KNOWING THE LOVE OF JESUS; WITHOUT SALVATION. EXACTLY WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS!!

THESE MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD ARE IN A BATTLE; THEY ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE WAR!

There are thousands and thousands of orphans throughout the nation of India. Many live on the streets, many are taken and sold in to slavery and child pornography; many

are put into Hindu run government orphanages and taught the Hindu religion and anti-Christianity. I have had contact with over 30 different native pastors from India; all of which have a ministry of caring for orphaned children; providing food, shelter, clothing, education, and spiritual training in the Gospel of Jesus.

At one time, brother John’s ministry provided for 150 children. Unfortunately, financial and governmental circumstances made it impossible for them to keep the children. Right now our Brother has access to around 50 children in

need of care and the compassion of Believers so that they may be provided for in their destitute condition. They need daily food, clothing, shelter, education, and

spiritual guidance in the Gospel of Love ~ the Gospel of Jesus. They need your help.

We are doing all that we can; our resources are limited. Currently, we are working on putting together the profiles and stories of these children. Regular mail in India is extremely unreliable and it takes some time for mail to get through, providing the Hindu’s in the Postal Service allow the Christian literature to go through at all. We have had several instances of mail not getting through in the past. BUT WE CONTINUE TO TRUST IN THE LORD OUR GOD THAT HE WILL MAKE A WAY AND HE WILL PROVIDE FOR HIS CHILDREN....PRAISE HIS GLORIOUS NAME!!

I was sick, and youvisited Me;I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? ‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? ‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ “ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you,to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

Matt. 25:34-40 NASB

You can “Adopt"{Sponsor} a Child from India. For just $1.00 a day, a LOVE GIFT of just $30.00 a month {100% GOES TO PROVIDING FOR THE CHILD, THERE ARE NO ADMINISTRATIVE

COSTS}, you can help our Brother and his ministry team in India provide food, clothing, shelter, education, and the gift of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for an orphan child in India; help to take a child off the streets, help keep a child from being indoctrinated in the Hindu religion and anti-Christian teachings, help provide for daily sustenance for a child; reach out in love as we are commanded by the Word of God to those less fortunate than ourselves.

OUR PRIMARY MISSION EMPHASIS AT SPIRITWINDMINISTRIES IS FOR THE NATION OF INDIA; OUR FRIEND AND BROTHER IN CHRIST ~REV.DR.JOHN K. RATNAM IS THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR FOR OUR WORK FOR THE KINGDOM IN INDIA AND REPRESENTS OUR MAIN SUPPORT FOR THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL

IN HIS COUNTRY. WE DO HAVE SEVERAL OTHER NATIVE PASTORS IN INDIA THAT WE FELLOWSHIP WITH AND ARE PART OF OUR MISSION OUTREACH. I AM WORKING ON DEVELOPING A WEB PAGE FOR EACH OF THEM SO THAT YOU CAN MEET THEM AND SHARE THEIR WORK FOR THE GOSPEL OF JESUS. THEIR LINKS WILL BE ON THIS PAGE ~ BE SURE TO LOOK FOR THEM!!

WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED THE COUNTRY OF PAKISTAN IN OUR MISSION OUTREACH; INDIA AND PAKISTAN WERE AT ONE TIME PART OF THE SAME NATION AND THEY ARE VERY CLOSELY RELATED; SEPARATED PRIMARILY BY RELIGION ~ INDIA IS PREDOMINATELY HINDU AND PAKISTAN IS PREDOMINATELY ISLAMIC. WE ARE INCLUDING A WEB PAGE FOR ~ MISSION:PAKISTAN ~ TELLING ABOUT THE WORK OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE DOING FOR THE KINGDOM AND THE GOSPEL IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY.

WE DO RECEIVE E-MAILS FROM PASTORS AND BELIEVERS OF MANY OTHER COUNTRIES, PARTICULARLY AFRICA; WE CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR ALL OF THESE AND LIFT THEM UP BEFORE THE LORD. WE DON'T RESTRICT OUR FELLOWSHIP AND PRAYERS FOR INDIA AND PAKISTAN ALONE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE GOSPEL AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD MUST BE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD; BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS GIVEN US A PARTICULAR BURDEN FOR THESE COUNTRIES AND HAS DIRECTED US TO THESE COUNTRIES FOR OUR PRIMARY MISSIONARY OUTREACH. NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FROM, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU, WE WANT TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU, AND WE WANT TO HELP YOU HOWEVER WE ARE ABLE FOR THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM.

We are fast approaching the End of Days and Satan is

working overtime as he sees his time drawing near. God's Word

prophesies that persecutions will get worse as we get closer to the

Rapture of the Church and the Return of our Lord and Savior

Jesus. Like birth pangs of labor; greater in intensity and in frequency as the time grows shorter. The fields are ripe with harvest; pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send workers into the fields; and support those workers.

We must never stop praying, we must never stop supporting these precious brothers and sisters who are spreading the Gospel of Jesus literally on the Front Lines of Warfare; in the very presence of Satan's forces; where they could be killed for speaking the Gospel; where their families and homes could be taken away from them, burned to the ground and destroyed; with little or no help from the local and national government authorities ~ and in some cases with the silent or even vocal consent of these governing authorities.

That's exactly what we are seeing in the world today; not so evident in the United States of America, or even in other more industrialized nations; but in nations where Christianity is not truly recognized as a legitimate religion, or accepted as a religious alternative on the same level as other religions, or in nations where religious fanaticism and extremism rules; persecutions of the Christian Faith and Christians are on the rise. India is one of those countries; Pakistan is one of those countries.

Do not ever forget that we are in a battle daily

This is not just their battle, it belongs to all True Believers! You can no longer just sit on the sidelines and be content for others to engage the enemy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The time is truly short........ we are in the Last Days and be assured of one thing:

GOD NEEDS YOU!!

If you can't give to help support these dear brothers and sisters; then please pray for them daily; contact them and let them know that you are praying for them. One day, we may find ourselves in their position. Don't laugh; you may not think that it could happen in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, Sweden, or any of the other modern nations of the world; but do not be deceived ~ Satan is out to steal, kill and destroy; even more so as his time draws near. You think that the devil is going to be satisfied with just the poorer countries of the world? You think Satan is going to be content with controlling those who do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior? No way.... he wants it all, he wants everyone and especially Satan wants the Children of God!!

The dragon is Satan, the woman is Israel

who gave birth to Messiah Jesus; the

rest of her children are Christians ~

True Believers ~ The Bride of Christ; we

are the ones who keep the

commandments of God and hold to the

testimony of Jesus!!!

God's Word says that the dragon who is Satan went off to make WAR against us.....not to play tiddlywinks with us.... not to play games with us!!!

These brothers and sisters in India and Pakistan are not living in a ball field, they are not living in a make believe world..... NO, they are living in a BATTLEFIELD; they are living in a PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL WAR ZONE... and it is very REAL!!! They don't have the luxury sitting back and letting someone else do the work of spreading the Gospel of Jesus; there is no one else! In most cases, less than two percent of the population is Christian; and believe me, they don't just say they are Christians ~ their lives are on the line! India's population is over 1 Billion ~ over one-sixth of the world's population and somewhere around 2% are Christian...... Pakistan's population is about 180 million...It is also the sixth most populous country in the world and has the second largest Islamic population in the world; less than 2% are Christian.

Do you see what they are facing in these countries? This is part of what organized Religion calls the “10-40 Window”. That part of the world laying between 10 degrees and 40 degrees North Latitude where almost 95% of the unreached peoples of the world, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, live and yet only about 2% of the financial support is directed here in missions.

God tells us in His Word how important children are to Him. If they are important to our Father, shouldn’t they be important to us also?

Please Pray concerning this and see if the Holy Spirit might release you to reaching out to these precious children; such a small amount for such a tremendous return!!
