Karuna Leprosy Ministries

Dear Friends,
Greetings to all of you in the Precious Name of Jesus!
We are sorry for not publishing the newsletter last month as we had a busy schedule.
The months of June & July have been busy months with lots happening on all fronts
(Medical camps, planting, sowing, traveling etc.). We thank God for the favor He has shown us during this time and would also like to thank all of you for standing by us with your prayers.

We want to thank God for:
1. The jobs got by the 2 boys who finished their computer course.
2. The children who have now settled and doing well in school in Goa. (Photos available in the Photo Section under children’ work)
3. Turbocam India who donated a year’s supply of chlorine tablets for the water filtration plant fitted in the Gandhi Leprosy Colony so that all the residents can now have completely safe water to cook and to drink.
4. The team of doctors who came from Kerala through Campus Crusade and conducted a free Medical camp at the Leprosy colony. (photographs are available in the Photo Section under the Clinic)
5. The successful eye surgeries (cataract) conducted by the St. Luke’s Medical Center on 2 of our leprosy affected patients.
6. The successful appendix operation on another of our patients.
7. The 3 new goat kids and 2 rabbits that were born in the last 2 months.
8. All the fruit trees we were able to plant in the last 2 months. (225 coconut trees, 35 lime trees, 10 fig trees, 10 mango trees, 5 sweet limes trees, 5 chickoo trees, 5 pommergrate trees, 5 guava trees and 5 custard apple trees.) (Photographs are available in the Photo Section under the Abundance project.)
9. The water in the new well that was drilled.
10. His provision & grace upon the Karuna team to do His work here in Gulbarga.

Please pray that:
1. God would continue to bless us with His provision & grace.
2. All the plants we have planted will be fruitful.
3. It would rain. ( we have not had a proper monsoon till now)
4. The colius and chilly plantation to be successful.
5. The animals would be healthy and multiply.
6. The children put in Christian schools by us would learn the right values and that their mind set would change hence bringing about a change in the leprosy colonies.
7. The youth on the skills training programme would continue and finish the course.
8. The general health of the leprosy affected people in the colony would continue to improve.
9. There will be a breakthrough as the monthly prayer meetings continue.
10. God would work a healing miracle in the lives of the widow with HIV and her 3 children(whom we are taking care of at the abundance project), 2 of which are mentally retarded.
11. Give much grace & wisdom to Micheal, Michelle & the Karuna team as they minister and continue to do His will.
