DehraDun hills are full of snow these days and the people around here are very excited about the whole snow talk and trips. We tried the other day to drive into the mountains and had to come back without getting there because it was simply impossible to drive through thousands of cars and literarily having crazy drives all over. after driving for two hours for 15km, Hanokh our son and Maria our daughter said lets go back it doesn’t look so good here….! The mountains now look beautiful from far.

God has been gracious once again, the month of January 2007 went with great work of re-planning for ministry in Chandigarh. Rakesh and Renu will be applying for PTS education and if the faculty allows them they will join Presbyterian Theological Seminary (PTS) in the month of July 2007. We are also looking forward to finding some PTS students who can do some summer work in Chandigarh. The Lord has been gracious and providing good valuable counseling to us by godly people as we are making some long term plans for Chandigarh.

The good news this month was; Mr. Hiwale has been taken under care and licensed to preach in an Indian Presbytery, he is now working on the objective as well as subjective exams before the Presbytery ordains him for the work of facilitating church planting in India.

Mrs. Promila Hiwale is teaching ‘Life of Christ’ to the seminary wives, she is also busy with keeping each on of us healthy in the family by taking good care of our food. The helper to her has been great help and that spears her some time and energy to take some rest and keep herself healthy.

Hanokh and Maria are getting ready for their exams in the month of March 2007, we are praying and working hard with them so that the Lord grants them both a success in getting into the next grades.

Our work in PTS is as busy as it is, these days anup is busy finding pleases for students for their summer work. Most of the students are not sure where to go what to do but we are sure that the Lord will take care of each one of them as they plan to serve the Lord and plan to learn from the senior men and women in the ministry. We need your prayers for this work.

We have some picture for you of the snow mountains, when the first snow fall came…now there is more snow on the same mountains:
