Note from Valerie – This update is being sent out in two parts – the first being the note from Remo & Dr. Iris – the second will be the report of what Reaching Hand has been doing.
Greetings in Jesus' Name.
After the last email with the details of me being in the hospital with cerebral malarial and a acute case of follicular tonsillitis, I received a flood of calls and emails. Thank you for your prayers and concern. I am currently out of the hospital and am at my best of health. It is great to be back again in action. I just returned back to Hyderabad after being away for 13 days in Dehradun working on the Annual IMA National Leadership conference.
Please find below a short note from mummy and this month's newsletter written by Mr. Sopon Hembrom.
With prayers

My Dear Prayer Partners,
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
Thank you very much for your constant prayer and financial support.
The word from the Lord for me for the past month has been from Ps. 46: 10 and 11 - " Be Still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations and I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of Hosts is with us and the God of Jacob is my refuge."
To stay still when every thing around you is not going the way you want is not easy. Only God can help us in this area and when we submit to His word then He will be with us in a very special way and be our refuge. Try this out and may our Awesome God be with you to take charge of every situation in your and my life.
This month report is written by Mr Sopan Hembrom, he is a convert from the Santhali Tribe. He lost both his Parents to tuberculosis when he was very young and his sister could educate him only up to Std 7 in the IMS mission school. He has many talents from God and one of which is, he can fix almost anything that breaks down! He is the best X-ray technician in the district . All Santalli's have flat nose so he saw to it that he married a girl from Andhra - Shanti, who was not educated but had a very sharp nose and sharp features- But now he says God's plans were different as all his 4 children have flat nose and got his feature! God has enabled Shanti to read and write and is now involved in Village ministry along with Mrs. Minoti Soren. They go to the villages by Scooty mobike. It is awesome to note how God transforms people when they commit to do His work.
With Love and Prayers,
Iris.
