On-line Ministry
I praise and thank God for expanding my e-mail family to about 2500 members.
Every week I aim to send to them atleast two devotionals. Besides, my e-mailing ministry through my
website and all the material in it, I hope to go "far and wide" with the Gospel message. On an average,
there are 150 hits per day of my website. Contributing essays/brief devotionals to Christian magazines like
"Light of Life, India" and Christian on-line ministries like "Nuggets", Canada is another highly satisfying work,
the good Lord has given to me.
