Those On His Right Hand
May 31, 2025 Update
Dear RHM Friends,
Greetings in the Name of our Precious Lord JESUS.
"Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me." Matthew 25:34-36
The name of this ministry, Right Hand Ministries, comes from the above Scriptures. The Lord is saying that those at "His right hand", those who will enter into the kingdom, are those who have His love working in their hearts to meet the needs of those around them. May we all be involved in HIS "right hand" ministries.
It's really not my goal to put the monthly update out on the last day of each month, but because of the busyness of life and other pressing issues, it just seems to work out that way. The Lord is always so faithful, continuing to meet the needs of the ministry so that we haven't had to make any new reductions. Praise the Lord! Pray with us, as we're asking Him to help us get our website into position on the technical side so that more people would actually view the website, blog, archives, photos, etc. The more people know we exist, I'm confident He will touch hearts to pray and support. We're also in communication with another ministry organization that we hope and pray will help us to do more ministry for His glory. Please pray with us about that also.
I hope you will bookmark our
Blog or ministry
Facebook page, which will keep you somewhat updated on what's happening in this ministry. The Facebook page for the most part is the same blog posts which are found in the website. Feel free to share with friends.
Please see and read the photos & captions below. These captions always give you things that you can pray for (many prayer requests in this update), as well as rejoice with us for what the Lord is doing in the lives of our precious Indian friends.
Thank you ALWAYS for your love, prayers and support! Bless you.
Brother Dan
"So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith." Galatians 6:10

ABOVE: Kethan (middle) had his 18th birthday less than 2 weeks ago, his Uncle Anand and Aunt Hepsiba giving him cake. Kethan is one of our better students, just completing his 2nd year of poly-technical college, usually getting about 95% or better in his grades. Pray for Hepsiba, who is in her 6th month of pregnancy. Their only child, a little girl, is at the bottom of the photo. We don't know if this child in the womb is a boy or girl, as the doctors usually will not tell because many will abort the girls. |

|
|
ABOVE: Sister Bhavana and her 3 boys. Her husband, the boys' father, died in an auto rickshaw accident last October or November. Pray for this family, as they still seem to be brokenhearted. We are ministering to them regularly.
|
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: Sister Roja and her 2 children, Lasya (girl) and Eswanth. Roja's husband is very abusive, and sadly we can say that it might be a blessing that he is not currently with the family (he comes and goes). Pray for his salvation, for the family's peace, and for Roja, who has a growth that she is fearful might be cancer. |

ABOVE: Brother Prem Kumar is giving some medication to a widow named Ratnamma 2 or 3 years ago (I couldn't find anymore photos of him or his family). He has a precious family who seem to love the Lord, but have been going through great trials in recent years. The father of their home passed about 5 years ago, and then Prem Kumar's sister (the oldest of 3 children) suddenly died of cancer in 2023. Prem Kumar was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, "a rare disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves..." (from an internet search). He told me a few days ago that he is at home and slowly getting better, but asked us to pray for his mother, Ananda Kumari, who has just been diagnosed with serious kidney problems. Trusting the Lord for miracles!

ABOVE: This little girl was born to our ministry friend Anusha, whom I've known since she was a little girl. She's now about 29 years old with another little boy. Your donations were assisting her for a time when her first husband was suffering with cancer and later died. She remarried in 2024. The baby in the photo was born prematurely, weighing just under 3 pounds. She's now at home, slowly gaining weight and doing well. Praise the Lord!

ABOVE: Sister Sunitha with her daughter Shainy. Sunitha's husband passed with Covid in 2020, but she and her 2 teenage children seem to be doing much better now emotionally. Please pray for Sunitha, who was recently hit by a motorcycle, breaking her leg and causing a serious head injury. By His grace the head injury is better.

ABOVE: This is one of our widows, Koteswaramma, from the village of Chinthayapalem (long names). She is faithful to come to our literacy classes, and just recently had a cataract surgery. Financially, we're not able to pay the full amount for the elderly's cataract surgeries, but we are thankful to be able to help them with a small amount, in this case about $115. |

ABOVE: Since this is summer holidays, we've been able to take a couple of large groups of children to the beach (Bay of Bengal). Only 4 of these boys we are not assisting with education or helping their families in some way. All the other 13 we are. Our children's ministry leaders, Raju (right) and Marthababu (2nd man from left) are with them. The man on the far left is the auto rickshaw driver, and also father to 3 girls that we're involved with in ministry. |
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: It's difficult to say exactly, but it looks like about 33 girls went to the beach after having this meeting at a church in NR Thota. At least 20 we are helping with education or in other ways. There's also a few mothers and grandmothers in the group, along with Raju, Marthababu and their wives, both named Pavani. |
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: One of the pastors who helps us the most in ministry is Brother Prasanth. He and his father, Benjamin, are pastors together, having a few branch churches. This is Brother Benjamin sharing at a house gathering in the village of Marruproluvaripalem (Marrupro for short). We have 3 children that we're assisting in different ways in this village, along with one young widow. Some of these children came for this meeting from other towns and villages, but several of them are neighbors in this village. The Lord has used these house gatherings to touch many lives. Praise the Lord! |
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: Brother Raju is sharing at another house gathering during the summer holidays in the town of Bapatla. In this area also, some of the neighbors are being ministered to through the meetings and visitation we're doing. Please pray for His increased anointing upon all the ministry taking place. |
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: The sisters on the right (Kavya and Divya) enjoyed, along with their older sister Soniya, spending a couple of days with Brother Raju and his wife Pavani. But of course, they probably enjoyed spending time with their almost one year old daughter Keren the most (Keren named after one of Job's daughters in Job 42). This is either Raju or Pavani's grandmother also in the photo. |

|
|
ABOVE: One of our widows, Chandramma, with her grandchildren, Vijay Kumar and Deborah, ages 5 and 8. Chandramma has been a faithful believer for many years. Her daughter's husband (these children's parents) abandoned the family about the time Vijay was born, and hasn't returned. The daughter, Vijay and Deborah live with Chandramma now. Sweet family! |
|

|
|
ABOVE: This is one of our girls, Sirisha (she'll be 19 in a few weeks), taking baptism. I believe the pastor about to give her baptism is her uncle. Sirisha has a tender heart for the Lord, and we're trusting the Lord will use her in a beautiful way in His kingdom. Already she and her younger sister Prasanna are leading Sunday School at their church. |
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: This is Kotamma, one of 4 widows in the village of Jampala ST that your donations are assisting. Here she is receiving food from the ministry in behalf of her sister, Ruthamma, who couldn't be at the meeting on this particular day. Both sisters are thin, but I'm a little surprised that Ruthamma, who's had polio since childhood, is still alive because she has been very thin for a few years now. |
|
|
|
|
ABOVE: This is our weekly meeting on Sunday afternoon outside the village church in NR Thota. Most all the people attend their own churches on Sunday morning, and then come to this meeting in the afternoon. So many of these children and adults have been faithful to come weekly. It's very likely that they are sitting outside because it was too hot inside, May usually being the hottest time of the year. |
