Letter From Bishop Samson

7/17/07

Dear man of God and brother in Christ Dr Andres Greetings and Good Morning.
I am coming to attend IMF conference (18th-20th) after that I will go to
Atlanta where my brother Rajiv is working. And on 11th Aug I am coming to
you to stay until the 17th.

Pastor recently one our pastor Padma Rao's Church and Home both were set
fired by Hindu people. Though he and his wife are elderly people they are
doing wonderful ministry in Nagula Padu village among Hindu people. The
activist group has persecuted him and his family in many ways in previous
but this time they set fired his home and church at a time which were in
side by side. By the Grace of God at that time pastor went to other near by
village on ministry and his wife went to the fields to do some work. Nothing
was left accept ashes. Pastor Padma Rao is a strong man in faith he decided
to continue the ministry at any cost there in that village only. I request
you to pray for the comfort of that family. We took immediate relief to the
pastors family as money rice and other commodities. I request you and church
for the prayer support as this is the situation of pastors and ministry in
the rural India. Humiliation and persecution are the on going things. No one
can know from which side it arises.
Hear I am enclosing some pictures of pastor Padma Rao and prayer request
pionts in the attachments.
Waiting for your reply
Your brother in Christ
Samson
