Dear Friends,
Greetings in the name of our Lord! I hope this letter finds you doing well and enjoying the blessings of God. It is our privilege to serve such a wonderful God, who has promised that He is always with us!
I am a native of India, from the city of Rajahmundry, located in south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. God brought me here to America to study and learn more about Him, so that I would be adequately prepared for His ministry. I have had an excellent -education at God’s Bible School and College in Cincinnati, and currently being mentored by my pastor, Barry Clardy, pastor of Princeton Pike Church of God. God has blessed me with numerous opportunities to preach and to reach out to the lost in America. I thank God for His blessings on me and for the honor of ministering amongst such fine people here in America.
I have always felt that my calling was to India and I would have probably gone back to my home town Rajahmundry after the completion of my education. But God has been putting the city of Bangalore on my heart for more than a year now. I feel that God wants me to go to this city to minister. Bangalore is the capital of the state of Karnataka (south India). The city of Bangalore according to Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia) has an estimated population of 5,281,927 with only 5.8% of this population being Christian that means that over 94% of the city’s population has never experienced the redemptive power of the gospel in their lives. The vast majority of the city is Hindu, mixed with significant representation of the Islamic religion.
I must have God’s help and presence, in order for this ministry to be fruitful. Please partner with me in prayer that God will use me to be a blessing to my people.
Thanks for taking the time to read this letter. I appreciate this privilege to share my heart with you.
In His service,
Samson Godatha
