Pastor's Prayer Meeting for Peace Makers' Building

From Evg. Samuel Paul:

Greetings to you in the precious and victorious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

With a grateful and humbled heart, I want to share what God has done during this past Christmas and Winter outreach season and to thank you for your faithful prayers and support.

From November 25th, 2025 to January 3rd, 2026, the Lord gave me grace and strength to travel continuously across Andhra Pradesh, reaching 124 different locations and 124 churches. Every journey, every meeting, and every village was covered by prayer. Even when my body felt weak, the Lord renewed my strength and carried me forward.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9

During this season, we witnessed a mighty move of God. By His mercy, more than 22,000 precious souls gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Many of them came from Hindu and Muslim backgrounds, and a large number were  young people. I watched as hearts softened, tears flowed, and lives were transformed by the love of Christ.

This truly reminded me of the words of Jesus:

“Lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest.”
— John 4:35

We give all glory, honor, and praise to God alone for what He has done. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we move forward to fulfill the Great Commission and reach many more lives for Christ.

With deep love, gratitude, and thanksgiving to God,
Sam

 

Cyclone Ditwah brought widespread devastation to Sri Lanka reporting 400 dead or missing. Nearly 1.8 million people were affected needing humanitarian aid. Pastor David lives in Sri Lanka and is one of our 30 Pastors Life Seeds helps support. We thank God for Pastor David and sent relief funds to support his outreach.

Life Seeds helped fund a Medical and Eye Camp in December and again this March. Before this, Sam had been asked to speak at a Medical College and spoke on the topic “Work is Worship”. 40 student doctors and nurses told their Director after Sam spoke that they wanted to follow Jesus. Sam shared the gospel at the December Medical Camp and 70 people came to Christ. Glory to God for Jesus, Sam and Team, and helping Medical Staff!

Christmas Outreach: Through Sam and team and Life Seeds’ 30 pastors on the ground, gifts of new winter blankets and saris to widows and the poor, and cloth for a new pair of pants and shirt to needful pastors and saris for their wives were given. Christmas meals were served to bless the homeless and many pastors. James tells us in verse 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Praise God for all who gave and served during the Christmas Outreach!

Above are just a few testimonies how God is confirming the gospel  with signs following and using the gifts of the Holy Spirit to set the captives free! Mark 16:20 “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.” Amen. 

 Over 200 pastors came in February to pray for our continued construction of the Peace Makers Building. Life Seeds and Sam’s Team provided an amazing day of fellowship, prayer, teaching, testimonies, and encouraging love!  Jesus said “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”John 13:34-35 These pastors told Sam they really felt loved! Another Pastor’s Conference (photos below)where Sam invited pastors to encourage and teach them. Life Seeds helped Sam bless them with cloth for a new pair of pants and shirt and a shared meal. These pastors were from many Christian denominations where Sam had ministered. 

 

 

Sam’s Discipleship Training School started again this first week in March. Some students (including girls) are just finishing their regular school exams and arriving now. Many of Sam’s DTS graduates will find themselves on the frontlines of Revival and in Unreached Areas in India and beyond. We love and appreciate you and pray for your safety as you love others and share the gospel in your own communities and beyond. Thank you so much for your prayers and support for Sam and Team, the 30 Pastors, and these hard working DTS students. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
