Dear Forum Members,

Below is an editorial written in the India Times telling us that our brethren in India are right in amng the Muslim populations in India. Hydrabad has many of the people of Yahweh, keeping the sabbath and feast converted through the use of literature left there by a Church of God Seventh Day minister. The Assembly of Yahweh in India working with Tony Suckla an USA citizen is currently working on a Telegu Bible in the second largest language group in India. The Assembly of the Living Elohim, Brother Isaac Kusuma (yahshua_followersWyahoogroups.com) prints their newspaper in Telegu and English. I bolded in these aspects in the article below.

India is a real friend of freedom of expression and faith even theough the Hindu majority many times discriminates against other believers. This is one reason when I bu things I buy them with the made in India symbol.

Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of Eloah.

Shalom only in Yahushua the Messiah,

The Terror Within
Ranjan Roy

For years, we've heard pompous exhortations from our leaders about how no Indian was ever found to be part of any international Islamic terror group. A true tribute to secular politics and democracy in a country that has as many Muslims as the West Asian nations put together.

We were told that no Indian was part of Al-Qaida and that almost always the leadership of groups responsible for domestic terror came from without, i.e. PoK. All that was roughly true. So how come we suddenly find ourselves hemmed in by, as one top official put it, "concentric circles" of terror.

Because as those pronouncements were being made, a quiet radicalisation of a few Muslim minds in non-conflict areas of India has happened and gone unnoticed.

And to the point where our intelligence agencies are realising that while they take on the enemy in this global, asymmetric war, the foot soldiers confronting them are young boys from the most unlikely hinterlands of India. What happened here?

The easy answer is that frustrated young Muslims are being brainwashed and lured with dollars arranged for by extreme Wahabi and Salafi groups and passed through agents in Dubai, Doha or Qatar or ISI operatives in Nepal and Bangladesh.

That's part of the answer. It will take a while till we understand how Marathi and Telugu-speaking Muslim men have crossed linguistic and regional boundaries and made common cause with Urdu, Arabic, Kashmiri and Bengali-speaking men to stand on the frontlines of the South Asian jehad.

In the days after the Mumbai blasts, a scary grid of terror has emerged, connecting Pune, Aurangabad, Kanpur, Ahmedabad, Hydera-bad, possibly Kathmandu and most definitely a nondescript village called Kamalpur in Tripura's Dholai district.

Warmest Greetings be to you in the almighty name of our Yahweh and our Yahshua Ha messiah.


I introduce my self to the first time to you, I am S.Ratnam Raju, have been carrying on service of our Yahweh in INDIA, West Godavari District, in Andhra Pradesh. The Great call of our YAHWEH and have been carrying on His service since last 10 years. We are having 3 congregations. Some young persons have also been working with us with the High Call of our Father Yahweh. We are Torah Observant and we use the correct Hebrew names, Yahweh and Yahshua, we are obedient to Yahweh’s Laws and joyfully celebrate Yah’s Biblical Feasts and 7th day Sabbath (Saturday).I wish to draw a few lines for your kind feet as a Servant of Yahweh. We are poor servants of Elohim doing the service of our Father Yahweh through the Yahshua Ha Messiah since 10 years in India. We have five co-workers and seven congregations.

I, and our co-workers are distributing, tracts, books, bibles from door to door and street to street every nook and every corner of the village and towns. We are distributing the tracts in bus stands and in railway stations and trains. Many Hindus are receiving these tracts, books, bibles and knowing about our Father Yahweh and His Highness and agree with us "YAHSHUA IS ONLY OUR SAVIOUR IN THE WORLD". Please co-operate with us and send some gospel literature i.e., Bibles, cassettes, tracts and used cloths for my free distribution. Many Hindus are coming to our meetings and knowing about Yahshua As their personal savior and taking baptism. Nearly 200 souls are saved. Please pray for them


We are coming across several orphan children, destitute children, physically handicapped and poor patients suffering from several kinds of diseases and who cannot go to any hospital or doctor for treatment and needed of proper clothing and hunger. Especially we are concentrated for women welfare. Even though we have utmost sympathy towards such helpless people, we are not able to help them in any manner as we ourselves are facing starvation. We are very eager to render our bit of service by running orphanage and women welfare and widow homes provided any generous organization comes forward and extend their helping hand financially on regular basis. Hitherto the whole of the above services are being carried out independently without any outside help. While the maintaining our family and extending bit of help to our co-workers.

In the absence of Permanent buildings for the Assembly’s in all my 3 congregations, we have raised thatched sheds and have been carrying on His Service. AS our believers are all daily wage workers with scanty incomes, the offerings we get from them are too meager and insufficient to meet our expenditure. To add to this the prices of all essential Commodities have gone abnormally high and they are not within easy reach of people below poverty line. We have spent all our belongings for the service of the Yahweh. We had to raise loans to meet my expenses. Though the work expanded considerably due to our best efforts since all these years, now our position is far from satisfactory. We are facing untold hardships to meet my day-to-day expenses and for the maintenance of my family. Please show sympathy upon us and send your kind Financial Help to all of us. Please remember us at your dining table and throw your remaining pieces of bread at your dining table. Once I request your honor and do at least one time gift and save us. "HUNGER IS SHARPER THAN THESWORD". Here we are praying for you and your Family and your ministry. If you want to see my family and ministry Photos I will send you immediately. Please pray for us.

Awaiting for your prayerful reply, Proverbs: 25:25 GALA 6:9, 10. COLO 3:23, 24. Matthew10:42.

Yours in Yahshua the Messiah

SHALOM

BROTHER S. Rathna Raju.
