Above: Maybe we could call this the WE School, WE meaning Widows & Elderly. What a blessing that some are willing to take literacy classes at an older age. Some of them grew up at a time when their "caste" or certain segments of the poor were not allowed to go to their local schools. And in previous generations, we can imagine that their parents put little emphasis on education as they also didn't go to school in their generation. We also rejoice that we have at least one young man who is committed to teach them how to read and write. Most of them have the desire, simply so they can learn to read their Bibles that they carry around with them.
Dear RHM Friends,
Greetings in the Precious Name of JESUS.

here to open up a pdf of our March newsletter, having some prayer requests, as well as updates on the HOPE and widows' ministries. Pray also for the upcoming elections in India. There's been much corruption (perhaps more than usual) and anti-Christian activities in India over the last 5 years. We're praying that, both at the national and state levels (the state where most of the RHM-related ministry takes place), the opposing parties will win over the ruling parties.
Two of the widows' ministry members (actually they're both married, but very poor) have critical health issues. The sister, Krupamma, whom we mentioned earlier about needing to have her 2nd leg amputated (diabetes) is still in the hospital. The doctors are saying she needs to be under some kind of medication before she would be able to withstand the operation. She's 60 to 65 years old. Another brother, Prasad (also with diabetes) has become mostly blind, and now has suffered a stroke, leaving him partly paralyzed. Our Brother Prasanth, who helps in leading the widows' ministry, said he is in bad conditon. Please pray for them.
Check out the BLOG and RHM's YouTube Channel (links above). I often don't have time to work the Blog, and almost never have time to do YouTube. But a young friend is now helping with these things, so there are new videos going onto YouTube regularly, and more posts going onto the Blog than previously. For those of you who are truly interested in the children, widows and others in India, the videos would be a real blessing to you.
Pray for me, as I leave on Wednesday to return to India. Some challenges are there, but open doors for ministry as well. Bless you, and thanks always for your love, prayers and support!
Dan, RHM
