Dear Christian Friends,

Greetings in the Lord.

It is always a joy to write about the things God is doing here in Manipur. In the midst of so many political and social instability we do not stop doing what God has called us to. Praying for example, what can stop you from it, but yourself? Our focus has always been mainly the church. But in recent times I met with a few Church Youth leaders and we chit-chat about reaching out to the young people. We deliberated about it and as a first step forward we organised a Fun Day on the 16th March (also being a State holiday). Over 60 young people participated.

On the day we divide the 60 odd into four groups and had competition between them. They all went into their own groups and are instructed to ACT OUT according to the theme each groups are given. All based on Bible Passages and Hymns. After about an hour and half they all return to the main hall with the photos and displayed them on the screen. It was fun, we all were treated with a sense of wonder and also had such laugh with some of the pose it was first time for all of them for a church to organised such activity. We saw a lot of creativity in the minds of they young people, we exhorted them not to just read the Bible and sing the songs but to live them out in their lives.

We will follow-up with another programme on the 30th to a One Day programme on Peace Building. Our rough estimate is between 50 - 100. Please pray for God's wisdom as we invite potential youth leaders who would be serious about the task.

The Kids Club (KC, every Saturday afternoon) that I run on a part time basis in one of the localities of Imphal (Hindu Area) needs helper and support. There are about 50 kids between 8 - 13 age group (about 30 come regularly). Sometimes their mothers also came and join in the games that we play. It has become a wonderful tool to reach out to the community. Kids Club is part of the initiative of Fusion International (Australia) but self supported locally. We are inviting the local churches to be involved and own the KC. Please pray for KC and also support for the various needs.

We are keeping well in the family. Lalita is fine so is little JD (1. 3 months), he beginning to talk and he is lovely but sometimes he really test me to the limit (throw my things into the bin... dip something into the bucket... run down something into the drain and... and...). He is just soooo active. Some parents kept reminding me that boys will be boys. Pray for God's wisdom on how best to discipline him.

20th March is my brother-in-law's 1st death anniversary. We plan to go home to the village to my mother-in-law.
God bless you.
Shalom

Moses, Lalita and JD
