February 2025  

Dear Friends in Mission,

Your 2024 income tax receipt is enclosed, and we want to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for the financial gifts that you have entrusted to us this past year.  It is your gifts that make it possible for us to support the vision and work of pastors and churches that we partner with in India.

Our government has extended allowable 2024 charitable donations to include Jan 1–Feb 28, 2025.  Anyone one wants to have an additional receipt for donations made in this period should contact us by email or phone.  Otherwise, all 2025 donations will be receipted as normal in February 2026.

Project Updates:

- The church washroom and church porch projects have been completed.
- The second story rooms in the Centre of Ministry are complete and just need air conditioning and permanent furnishings.
- The recent church building in a tea plantation area will be completed very soon.
- The chick project mentioned in June was fully funded by a VBS at one of our supporting churches in NS and will provide income generation for 50 needy families.

Items of Praise:

- Praise God for the increased numbers of people accepting Christ throughout India.
- Praise God for more acceptance of Christians being displayed by government officials.

Existing Needs:
We are still in need of funds to complete several projects at the Centre of Ministry:

- Drainage for the property and an outdoor kitchen ($3,200).
- Furnishings and air conditioning for the four rooms in the second story ($1,365 & $700 per room respectively).

Prayer Requests:

- Pray for the witness of the tea plantation congregation as they see the completion of their church building.
- Pray for our sponsored pastors as they are in the final year of their pastoral diploma program and are undertaking new ministry challenges.

Once again thank you for your support!  Donations can be made anytime in various ways - given via e-transfer to info@farcornersministry.org , given by credit card via Paypal through our website or cheques can be sent to our mailing address.

Yours in His service,
Rev. Dr. Shant & Ginny Manuel
