[Even more pictures below] Dear Pastor Prakash and Sister Poonam.
I received the pictures of the distribution programme. Praise the Lord. I was surprised to see a poster with our name and picture on it. We usually do not seek recognition for what we do in the Name of Jesus Christ. But I guess it is all right so that the people can relate to us in this world. I only included our photo on the CD because it helps people to feel more comfortable if they can see who they are learning from. My wife's name is GiGi.
I will be praying for VBS and wheel chairs. I can see that the elderly lady is sitting upon a pallet with wheels. My heart goes out to her. What is 5 'black spect'? I need to know what this is so that I can pray for these also. Isn't our God a good and generously beneficient God? He blesses his people through his people; and when necessary, in a miraculous way. I decided not to send the 8 KJV bibles. I will give them to the homeless shelter in our city. Too much cost to send with little benefit. It is better for you to have NIV bibles, so that is what I am sending you. They are easier to understand because of modern English language. Jesus is Good. Jesus meets our needs. Jesus is Lord. Jesus gives to us salvation and eternal life. I really appreciate your effectiveness and zeal for the Lord in your ministry to the people God is saving. You are working so hard for the Lord. May your rewards in heaven be great!
brother Moses and sister GiGi :-)
Dear Prakash and Poonam:
Today I sent to you 48 NIV Passion New Testaments for your people. I sent them 1st class air mail. The two bibles that I sent to you before by 1st class air mail took 29 days to arrive for you. The post master says 6-10 days, and he was surprised to hear that the two bibles took 29 days. We will see how long these 48 New Testaments take to arrive for you in India. I will send more rupees in two weeks. Tell the 15 children that did not get clothes to have hope in Jesus and they will obtain clothes.
I am being persecuted by my church because I do not believe that the King James Bible is the only Bible. There are many translations now. The deacons and trustees threw me out of the church last week. They are being immature. God did not stop translating bibles 400 years ago in 1611. People had Greek and Latin bibles before the King James Version was ever made, and people today have better and newer translations of the Bible than the King James Version - like the NIV for example. This is why I send to you New International Versions. The brethren are asking me to come back to church again anyway, and if the deacons and trustees do not like it, they can leave instead. I should go, and then they can call the police to have me removed from the assembly. Then I can suffer persecution for the sake of the Name of Jesus, for he said blessed are you when men persecute you, and cast you out, and use opprobrious language against you for my sake; for yours is the kingdom of the heavens. In the New Testament, John chapter 9, the Pharisees threw the blind man Jesus healed out of the synagogue for telling them the truth. This is the same.
Let me tell you my testimony. I was 25 years old in 1977 and was lost and a sinner of great magnitude. I was at a market where people sold used possessions, and I was looking for a typewriter. One young man came to me and started telling me about Jesus. Another young man came and joined him and they both were talking to me about Jesus. Then a girl came and joined them and all three were telling me about Jesus. They kept reading from a little black book called the Bible.
Then one of them shouted out loud, "Jesus is coming again!" And one man at the market said, "I will believe it when I see it," and another man said "Amen!" So I realized that everybody had an opinion about this Jesus. So later I went to the book store and bought a little black Bible like what they had for $30 and began to read it. I read it through in 3 months, and when I got to the New Testament, and learned of Jesus, I believed. I was born again! Now I have been a Christian 31 years, and I never have been hungry, and I have never been living on the street. Jesus has always met my needs. I started telling all of my friends about Jesus and his saving power, and I studied much concerning the Faith.
I started my web site ministry to let people know about the errors many present concerning Jesus, and what the truth really is. This is where you found me. I started to translate the Gospel from the original Greek language because I thought that errors held by many in the Faith were because of bad translations, and if I were to do my best to impact humanity, then it must be through translation. This is where I am now. Now I have found the joy of sharing with God's people so that their needs would be met. This is where I am able to minister to you and your people. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." There is nothing wrong in recieving, for where can one give without a recipient; I am sharing in your joy.
God bless your efforts, and may your people be blessed: brother Moses

Dear Parmeshappa:
Praise the Lord for your faith! It makes me very happy to hear of the fruitfulness of pastor Prakash's ministry in India. I am glad you are a new believer with eternal life. I am helping him as much as I can with support and prayers. I will pray for your education and for the salvation of your family. When I was a new believer my own wife, her mother, and her brother were all persecuting me for my faith in the Lord Jesus. Now they are all saved. Praise God! He works wonders in the face of opposition. May God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless you in all things through him and meet all of your needs. brother Moses :-)

Dear pastor Prakash and sister Poonam:
Today I have sent about 7950 rupees by Western Union to Prakash Doddamani, Post Box 4, Hubli - 20, Karnataka, Karnataka, India. The date is March - 15th, 2008. The MTCN is 7470542017. Use this for continuation of distribution programme for the leper people. I lovingly remind you that 15 of the children did not get clothes the last time. Please do not forget them. I praise the Lord that you got the spectacles and all of the pages. I am still praying for the wheelchairs. Do you need me to send a three-ring binder notebook for the pages or can you get one where you shop for purchases? Let me know. Also let me know when you receive the 48 New Testaments that I sent. I will send another 48 more for next month after that. I am praying for success of your VBS and for the salvation of many children and peoples in India by your hand. Remember, Jesus started the church with only 12 disciples. I see the pictures of the children's classroom with brother Martin and the school teacher. Does the teacher need maps, tables and charts for hanging on the walls for education? I may be able to get some. Let me know what kind of maps, tables and charts she needs. I pray that God's hand will be with you always, and that your work for the Lord will prosper. In Jesus name. brother Moses and sister GiGi. :-) redacter@aol.com

Brother Luther
Dear Brother Luther:
I can see your picture in the Vacation Bible School from April 2007. You look very much like Brother Prakash. I thought that you may be brothers in more ways than one. I pray that all will go well in the VBS in Gadag Leper Colony. I pray for materials, finances, good weather, spiritual benefits for the children, and that many will be saved as a result. I also pray for protection from opposition people and from persecution. I may be able to purchase the 3 wheelchairs for the leper people if I get money in July 2008. I costs many thousands of rupees to send from america, so it may be more expedient to purchase them in India and have them delivered to Gadag leper Colony. I would need an physical address for the delivery there. Send my greetings to pastor Prakash, and you keep on growing in the Lord Jesus. God bless you. brother moses. :-)

Dear Pastor Prakash and Sister Poonam:
I am so glad that you received the 48 New Testaments. I observe that it takes about thirty days for books to reach you from America. I am glad that the authorities did not find and burn or throw somewhere. I realize that you are a very busy man with your ministry projects, and that I should not impose to you with many e-mails. It is my suggestion that you keep these 48 New Testaments and give them only to those people in your churches that can read and speak English. It may be another month before I have money again to buy books on the creation of birds, fish and animals, and Bible stories. The books cost about $100 American dollars (3950 rupees) to buy, and $75 (2975 rupees) to send to you. Please pray for us that we will be given money by God to help your ministry more. Give our greetings to Sister Nirmal, brother Martin, brother Luther and all of the others that we love. God bless your ministry efforts. brother Moses and GiGi :-)

Today I have sent to you 7860.30 Indian Rupees. April 14, 2008. The MTCN
is 8056866155. You can receive it at your Post Box address. You can use it
for needs of the Leper people in Gadag, and for some of your own ministry
needs, and for Kannada bibles, and for the slum ministry, and for food, clothes,
medicine, treatments, or whatever seems proper for you to do. We never really
discussed what you can do with the money. You are a servant of the Lord. You
decide how best to use it in your ministries. You have my blessing. We have
a saying in this country. "That which one subsidizes, he can control." I do
not want to be that way. I do not want to be dictating to you what to do with
the money. You choose. I trust you. Praise the Lord!
We are doing fine over here. I have finished translating the First
Corinthians Epistle of Paul. Remember that there was a portion at the end of the
212 pages where I said that it was not translated by me, but was of the KJV?
Well I will send to you the subsequent translation I made of that section. You
can put it in the back of your notebook after the 212 pages so you can refer
to it.
God bless all of you. Give my greetings to the Leper church. I am still
praying for the wheelchairs.

Praise be to God. Greetings in his Name. I am full of joy because of all that the Lord is doing in your family and house. I am also joyed because a sister in the Lord named Susie has donated $100 to the leper colony people of Gadag where pastor Prakash ministers. I will tell him this good news. I am glad that your brother Ragunatha is showing interest in Jesus. You have courage in sharing the Gospel with your Hindu friends. May Jesus bless your witnessing efforts. Using your house for meetings is honoring to the Lord. I will continue to pray for your studies. God bless you and your family and friends. brother moses. :-)

Dear Pastor Prakash:
Praise the Lord, for he is great! I have good news. I just received the first donation for the Gadag Leper Colony people on my web page from a sister in Christ named Susie Wright. She has donated $100 American Dollars (3900 rupees) for ministering to the needs of your people. God is good because he puts compassion in the hearts of his people. If you want to thank her personally, her e-mail address is: (withheld for privacy). I will send it to you on May 13th along with my regular contribution of 7800 rupees. I just e-mailed a greeting to Parmeshappa. Greet brothers Martin and Luther, and sisters Poonam and Nirmala for me, and all the brothers and sisters in Gadag. I hope that your VBS went well, and that many got saved as a result. I am still praying for the Lord to send you wheelchairs. I am now attending a new church. They seem agreeable, and so far all the teaching is correct. We are welcome there. May God continue to richly bless your works for the Lord and your ministries among the saints, and may many more come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. brother moses and sister gigi. :-) redacter@aol.com
Dear Susie:
Thank you for your loving care and compassion for our brothers and sisters in this leper colony church. There are now over 30 families in this church. Your kind gift will result in thanksgiving and praise for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, not to mention the needs of these brethren being met. I myself send $200 a month to their pastor, Prakash Doddamani. He is very careful to use what I send to him for the work of the Lord only. He is the one who makes the purchases and distributions in their colony. He also has a slum ministry, and a childrens ministry in Hirebannematti. He just finished doing a Vacation Bible School last week in this Gadag leper colony. He ministers to the children, and then invites the parents on the last day to hear the Gospel. Many get saved this way. Some of his brethren outside of the colony e-mail me and love to keep in touch. There is a brother called Parmeshappa outside in Hubli who got saved six months ago, and he wants to go to school to learn how to minister in the Name of our Lord Jesus. As a result, his brother, Ragunatha also got saved. The Spirit of the Lord is moving in that place. Thank you again for your donation of $100, and God will surely bless you. brother Orin Moses
:-) http://orin.net
redacter@aol.com
Dear Orin,
Thank your for your email. Oddly enough (or not so odd :) I was about to send you one. As far as the donation, I feel very humbled and blessed already. I have a need to give, but want to give where it really matters. Sometimes it makes me feel sick in my spirit the way we Americans have been truly blessed by God and it never seems to be enough. Sometimes I have felt the same way about myself. Anyway, without really praying about it or anything, when I saw your website, I knew that the Leper Colony Church was the place for me to give. I have a son, 31 years of age, that is profoundly mentally retarded with autism and I guess in some way, I can relate to the leper people. I suppose I have a better understanding of being shunned by the world than a lot of folks, of the pain of alienation, of looking and being different, the feelings of rejection. I love the leper people already. I read every single email sent and looked closely at every picture. My only wish is that I had more money to send. However, I have already committed in my heart to send as much and as often as I can. You do a good work and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion.
As I was saying earlier, I was about to send you an email. I felt a kindred spirit with you when I read your thoughts on Ronald Weinland. I too, ordered his books, read them, and threw them in the trash because I didn't want them in my house. I too, have a copy of Larry Wilson's book "Warning! Revelation is About to be Fulfilled", and have kept that one and continue to study it. I would appreciate your thoughts on the Sabbath. I am going around and around on this one!
Thanks again for your kind response. God loves you so much, you are the apple of His eye!
Susie
Dear Susie:
I think when you are questioning whether we are to observe the Sabbath or not, you are referencing from Larry Wilson's book "Warning! Revelation is About to be Fulfilled." The point that he makes is very good and truly convincing, that is: If we are to honor our parents and not steal and practice all the other commandments, why are we not keeping the Sabbath as well? After all, it is one of the ten commandments. Even Jesus said to the rich man the list of ten commandments when the man desired eternal life. He was still under the Mosaic Covenant, as was Jesus, and that is why Jesus said that to him. Jesus even told the ten lepers that were cleansed to go show themselves to the priests, and offer offerings for their cleansing. They were still under the Mosaic Law. Authors have many good things to offer for our benefit. They also can be in error in some things. I am sure as you go through my web site you may find something disagreeable. That is the state of things. Paul said to prove all things and hold to that which is good. We do not observe Sabbaths. Two thousand years we worship the first day of the week. 7th day Adventists are trying to be justified by keeping the Law.
Now in an epistle somewhere, the apostle Paul says, “Let no man therefore judge you in food or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath,” Colossians 2:16. The apostle Paul also said in Romans 3:20, “therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall be no flesh justified in His sight.” Galatians 2:16 and 3:11, also say that no man will be justified through keeping the Law. Galatians 5:1-4 basically says remain free from the Law, and that if you allow yourself to be circumcised (or become obligated to observe Sabbaths) you will fall from grace, Jesus will be of no use to you at all, and you will then be obligated to do the whole Law. Acts 13:38-39: “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through Jesus is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.”
In Christ, brother Moses. :-)

Dear Pastor Prakash and sister Poonam:
Praise the Lord and may his Name be lifted up always! Sister Susie Wright donated another $70 US Dollars (2730 rupees) for the Gadag Leper Colony Church. She says that she wants to contribute money every month. She gave you this message: "Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He only is worthy to be praised." She lives in Jackson Mississippi which is in the southern part of central United States. I live in Virginia which is central eastern United States. I will send it to you with the other donation on May 13th 2008. May God bless your ministries. I am praying for all of you. brother moses and sister gigi. :-)
I received the pictures of the distribution programme. Praise the Lord. I was surprised to see a poster with our name and picture on it. We usually do not seek recognition for what we do in the Name of Jesus Christ. But I guess it is all right so that the people can relate to us in this world. I only included our photo on the CD because it helps people to feel more comfortable if they can see who they are learning from. My wife's name is GiGi.
I will be praying for VBS and wheel chairs. I can see that the elderly lady is sitting upon a pallet with wheels. My heart goes out to her. What is 5 'black spect'? I need to know what this is so that I can pray for these also. Isn't our God a good and generously beneficient God? He blesses his people through his people; and when necessary, in a miraculous way. I decided not to send the 8 KJV bibles. I will give them to the homeless shelter in our city. Too much cost to send with little benefit. It is better for you to have NIV bibles, so that is what I am sending you. They are easier to understand because of modern English language. Jesus is Good. Jesus meets our needs. Jesus is Lord. Jesus gives to us salvation and eternal life. I really appreciate your effectiveness and zeal for the Lord in your ministry to the people God is saving. You are working so hard for the Lord. May your rewards in heaven be great!

Today I sent to you 48 NIV Passion New Testaments for your people. I sent them 1st class air mail. The two bibles that I sent to you before by 1st class air mail took 29 days to arrive for you. The post master says 6-10 days, and he was surprised to hear that the two bibles took 29 days. We will see how long these 48 New Testaments take to arrive for you in India. I will send more rupees in two weeks. Tell the 15 children that did not get clothes to have hope in Jesus and they will obtain clothes.
I am being persecuted by my church because I do not believe that the King James Bible is the only Bible. There are many translations now. The deacons and trustees threw me out of the church last week. They are being immature. God did not stop translating bibles 400 years ago in 1611. People had Greek and Latin bibles before the King James Version was ever made, and people today have better and newer translations of the Bible than the King James Version - like the NIV for example. This is why I send to you New International Versions. The brethren are asking me to come back to church again anyway, and if the deacons and trustees do not like it, they can leave instead. I should go, and then they can call the police to have me removed from the assembly. Then I can suffer persecution for the sake of the Name of Jesus, for he said blessed are you when men persecute you, and cast you out, and use opprobrious language against you for my sake; for yours is the kingdom of the heavens. In the New Testament, John chapter 9, the Pharisees threw the blind man Jesus healed out of the synagogue for telling them the truth. This is the same.
Let me tell you my testimony. I was 25 years old in 1977 and was lost and a sinner of great magnitude. I was at a market where people sold used possessions, and I was looking for a typewriter. One young man came to me and started telling me about Jesus. Another young man came and joined him and they both were talking to me about Jesus. Then a girl came and joined them and all three were telling me about Jesus. They kept reading from a little black book called the Bible.
Then one of them shouted out loud, "Jesus is coming again!" And one man at the market said, "I will believe it when I see it," and another man said "Amen!" So I realized that everybody had an opinion about this Jesus. So later I went to the book store and bought a little black Bible like what they had for $30 and began to read it. I read it through in 3 months, and when I got to the New Testament, and learned of Jesus, I believed. I was born again! Now I have been a Christian 31 years, and I never have been hungry, and I have never been living on the street. Jesus has always met my needs. I started telling all of my friends about Jesus and his saving power, and I studied much concerning the Faith.
I started my web site ministry to let people know about the errors many present concerning Jesus, and what the truth really is. This is where you found me. I started to translate the Gospel from the original Greek language because I thought that errors held by many in the Faith were because of bad translations, and if I were to do my best to impact humanity, then it must be through translation. This is where I am now. Now I have found the joy of sharing with God's people so that their needs would be met. This is where I am able to minister to you and your people. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." There is nothing wrong in recieving, for where can one give without a recipient; I am sharing in your joy.
God bless your efforts, and may your people be blessed: brother Moses

Dear Parmeshappa:
Praise the Lord for your faith! It makes me very happy to hear of the fruitfulness of pastor Prakash's ministry in India. I am glad you are a new believer with eternal life. I am helping him as much as I can with support and prayers. I will pray for your education and for the salvation of your family. When I was a new believer my own wife, her mother, and her brother were all persecuting me for my faith in the Lord Jesus. Now they are all saved. Praise God! He works wonders in the face of opposition. May God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless you in all things through him and meet all of your needs. brother Moses :-)

Dear pastor Prakash and sister Poonam:
Today I have sent about 7950 rupees by Western Union to Prakash Doddamani, Post Box 4, Hubli - 20, Karnataka, Karnataka, India. The date is March - 15th, 2008. The MTCN is 7470542017. Use this for continuation of distribution programme for the leper people. I lovingly remind you that 15 of the children did not get clothes the last time. Please do not forget them. I praise the Lord that you got the spectacles and all of the pages. I am still praying for the wheelchairs. Do you need me to send a three-ring binder notebook for the pages or can you get one where you shop for purchases? Let me know. Also let me know when you receive the 48 New Testaments that I sent. I will send another 48 more for next month after that. I am praying for success of your VBS and for the salvation of many children and peoples in India by your hand. Remember, Jesus started the church with only 12 disciples. I see the pictures of the children's classroom with brother Martin and the school teacher. Does the teacher need maps, tables and charts for hanging on the walls for education? I may be able to get some. Let me know what kind of maps, tables and charts she needs. I pray that God's hand will be with you always, and that your work for the Lord will prosper. In Jesus name. brother Moses and sister GiGi. :-) redacter@aol.com

Dear Brother Luther:
I can see your picture in the Vacation Bible School from April 2007. You look very much like Brother Prakash. I thought that you may be brothers in more ways than one. I pray that all will go well in the VBS in Gadag Leper Colony. I pray for materials, finances, good weather, spiritual benefits for the children, and that many will be saved as a result. I also pray for protection from opposition people and from persecution. I may be able to purchase the 3 wheelchairs for the leper people if I get money in July 2008. I costs many thousands of rupees to send from america, so it may be more expedient to purchase them in India and have them delivered to Gadag leper Colony. I would need an physical address for the delivery there. Send my greetings to pastor Prakash, and you keep on growing in the Lord Jesus. God bless you. brother moses. :-)

Dear Pastor Prakash and Sister Poonam:
I am so glad that you received the 48 New Testaments. I observe that it takes about thirty days for books to reach you from America. I am glad that the authorities did not find and burn or throw somewhere. I realize that you are a very busy man with your ministry projects, and that I should not impose to you with many e-mails. It is my suggestion that you keep these 48 New Testaments and give them only to those people in your churches that can read and speak English. It may be another month before I have money again to buy books on the creation of birds, fish and animals, and Bible stories. The books cost about $100 American dollars (3950 rupees) to buy, and $75 (2975 rupees) to send to you. Please pray for us that we will be given money by God to help your ministry more. Give our greetings to Sister Nirmal, brother Martin, brother Luther and all of the others that we love. God bless your ministry efforts. brother Moses and GiGi :-)

Today I have sent to you 7860.30 Indian Rupees. April 14, 2008. The MTCN
is 8056866155. You can receive it at your Post Box address. You can use it
for needs of the Leper people in Gadag, and for some of your own ministry
needs, and for Kannada bibles, and for the slum ministry, and for food, clothes,
medicine, treatments, or whatever seems proper for you to do. We never really
discussed what you can do with the money. You are a servant of the Lord. You
decide how best to use it in your ministries. You have my blessing. We have
a saying in this country. "That which one subsidizes, he can control." I do
not want to be that way. I do not want to be dictating to you what to do with
the money. You choose. I trust you. Praise the Lord!
We are doing fine over here. I have finished translating the First
Corinthians Epistle of Paul. Remember that there was a portion at the end of the
212 pages where I said that it was not translated by me, but was of the KJV?
Well I will send to you the subsequent translation I made of that section. You
can put it in the back of your notebook after the 212 pages so you can refer
to it.
God bless all of you. Give my greetings to the Leper church. I am still

Praise be to God. Greetings in his Name. I am full of joy because of all that the Lord is doing in your family and house. I am also joyed because a sister in the Lord named Susie has donated $100 to the leper colony people of Gadag where pastor Prakash ministers. I will tell him this good news. I am glad that your brother Ragunatha is showing interest in Jesus. You have courage in sharing the Gospel with your Hindu friends. May Jesus bless your witnessing efforts.

Dear Pastor Prakash:
Praise the Lord, for he is great! I have good news. I just received the first donation for the Gadag Leper Colony people on my web page from a sister in Christ named Susie Wright. She has donated $100 American Dollars (3900 rupees) for ministering to the needs of your people. God is good because he puts compassion in the hearts of his people. If you want to thank her personally, her e-mail address is: (withheld for privacy). I will send it to you on May 13th along with my regular contribution of 7800 rupees. I just e-mailed a greeting to Parmeshappa. Greet brothers Martin and Luther, and sisters Poonam and Nirmala for me, and all the brothers and sisters in Gadag. I hope that your VBS went well, and that many got saved as a result. I am still praying for the Lord to send you wheelchairs. I am now attending a new church. They seem agreeable, and so far all the teaching is correct. We are welcome there. May God continue to richly bless your works for the Lord and your ministries among the saints, and may many more come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. brother moses and sister gigi. :-) redacter@aol.com
Dear Susie:
Thank you for your loving care and compassion for our brothers and sisters in this leper colony church. There are now over 30 families in this church. Your kind gift will result in thanksgiving and praise for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, not to mention the needs of these brethren being met. I myself send $200 a month to their pastor, Prakash Doddamani. He is very careful to use what I send to him for the work of the Lord only. He is the one who makes the purchases and distributions in their colony. He also has a slum ministry, and a childrens ministry in Hirebannematti. He just finished doing a Vacation Bible School last week in this Gadag leper colony. He ministers to the children, and then invites the parents on the last day to hear the Gospel. Many get saved this way. Some of his brethren outside of the colony e-mail me and love to keep in touch. There is a brother called Parmeshappa outside in Hubli who got saved six months ago, and he wants to go to school to learn how to minister in the Name of our Lord Jesus. As a result, his brother, Ragunatha also got saved. The Spirit of the Lord is moving in that place. Thank you again for your donation of $100, and God will surely bless you. brother Orin Moses
:-) http://orin.net
redacter@aol.com
Dear Orin,
Thank your for your email. Oddly enough (or not so odd :) I was about to send you one. As far as the donation, I feel very humbled and blessed already. I have a need to give, but want to give where it really matters. Sometimes it makes me feel sick in my spirit the way we Americans have been truly blessed by God and it never seems to be enough. Sometimes I have felt the same way about myself. Anyway, without really praying about it or anything, when I saw your website, I knew that the Leper Colony Church was the place for me to give. I have a son, 31 years of age, that is profoundly mentally retarded with autism and I guess in some way, I can relate to the leper people. I suppose I have a better understanding of being shunned by the world than a lot of folks, of the pain of alienation, of looking and being different, the feelings of rejection. I love the leper people already. I read every single email sent and looked closely at every picture. My only wish is that I had more money to send. However, I have already committed in my heart to send as much and as often as I can. You do a good work and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion.
As I was saying earlier, I was about to send you an email. I felt a kindred spirit with you when I read your thoughts on Ronald Weinland. I too, ordered his books, read them, and threw them in the trash because I didn't want them in my house. I too, have a copy of Larry Wilson's book "Warning! Revelation is About to be Fulfilled", and have kept that one and continue to study it. I would appreciate your thoughts on the Sabbath. I am going around and around on this one!
Thanks again for your kind response. God loves you so much, you are the apple of His eye!
Susie
Dear Susie:
I think when you are questioning whether we are to observe the Sabbath or not, you are referencing from Larry Wilson's book "Warning! Revelation is About to be Fulfilled." The point that he makes is very good and truly convincing, that is: If we are to honor our parents and not steal and practice all the other commandments, why are we not keeping the Sabbath as well? After all, it is one of the ten commandments. Even Jesus said to the rich man the list of ten commandments when the man desired eternal life. He was still under the Mosaic Covenant, as was Jesus, and that is why Jesus said that to him. Jesus even told the ten lepers that were cleansed to go show themselves to the priests, and offer offerings for their cleansing. They were still under the Mosaic Law. Authors have many good things to offer for our benefit. They also can be in error in some things. I am sure as you go through my web site you may find something disagreeable. That is the state of things. Paul said to prove all things and hold to that which is good. We do not observe Sabbaths. Two thousand years we worship the first day of the week. 7th day Adventists are trying to be justified by keeping the Law.
Now in an epistle somewhere, the apostle Paul says, “Let no man therefore judge you in food or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath,” Colossians 2:16. The apostle Paul also said in Romans 3:20, “therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall be no flesh justified in His sight.” Galatians 2:16 and 3:11, also say that no man will be justified through keeping the Law. Galatians 5:1-4 basically says remain free from the Law, and that if you allow yourself to be circumcised (or become obligated to observe Sabbaths) you will fall from grace, Jesus will be of no use to you at all, and you will then be obligated to do the whole Law. Acts 13:38-39: “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through Jesus is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.”
In Christ, brother Moses. :-)

Dear Pastor Prakash and sister Poonam:
Praise the Lord and may his Name be lifted up always! Sister Susie Wright donated another $70 US Dollars (2730 rupees) for the Gadag Leper Colony Church. She says that she wants to contribute money every month. She gave you this message: "Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He only is worthy to be praised." She lives in Jackson Mississippi which is in the southern part of central United States. I live in Virginia which is central eastern United States. I will send it to you with the other donation on May 13th 2008. May God bless your ministries. I am praying for all of you. brother moses and sister gigi. :-)

Pastor Prakash & Poonam
Hi there Orin,
Thanks for the pictures of the guys (and girls :)...I really appreciate what Pastor Prakash is doing there. I told my mother about his calling and she wanted to give what she could. It's truly the widow's mite. I'm very fortunate to have a mother that cares about all of God's children. Anyway, I am sending it your way after this email. Thank you for what you are doing too. My best to you and yours. I am so thankful to believe in such a superior God.
Do you mind if I continue using your website to donate to the Leper Colony Church? If for some reason it's better that I don't, that's fine, otherwise it just seems easier to use yours than sending it directly to them. Please let me know. Unless or until God shows me different, I'm in this for the long haul. Never have I seen such a sweet and humble bunch. All that matters to me is that I can help meet their needs as God provides. God sees all.
Anyway, my intent is to send every spare dime to the Leper Church. Also, if it's okay, my plan (unless God shows me different) will be to donate every two weeks. It's helping me more than them to tell you the truth. I need the sense of purpose.
Thanks for the email and I will continue to use your site to donate unless I hear back from you telling me otherwise. If for any reason you would prefer that I send it directly to them, just let me know. I'm happy either way.
Jesus Loves You,
Susie
In the name and by the blood of Christ Jesus,
Susie

Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a rainy Sunday here in Virginia and we are going to church. I am always glad to hear from all of you in Gadag, and I appreciate your testimony. Pastor Prakash is a very industrious man. Many come to Christ because of him, and now you are a fellow worker with him in the Gospel of Christ. God is moving in India, and you are privileged to be a part of it. I will pray for the salvation of your family members. Give my regards to Nirmala, Luther, and pastor Prakash. I will be sending Leper Colony donations on Tuesday. We received donations from Susie Wright and her mother also. So this donation will be twice as large as the last one. May God richly bless you and your work in his ministry.

Dear Pastor Prakash and Sister Poonam:
Praise the Lord, I received your post card from Taj Mahal. Your handwriting is the same as my son. He is named Robert and he is 36 years old. You could be my son also because you are 36 years old too. I will be a father to you since you have no father, and you can be my son.
I sent to you 16378.58 Indian Rupees for the Leper People Church and your children ministries. The Money Transfer Control Number is: MTCN 2772536418 Today is May 12, 2008. It is sent to your Post Box 4, Hubli - 20, Karnataka.
I received a post from brother Martin. He is very happy to serve with you for the cause of Christ. I am very happy that your ministry work is prospering, and that you are so diligent in the things of God. Sister Susie Wright and her mother are very happy to be supporting your ministry also. Her mother sent an additional $30 for the Leper People and it is included in the above amount. Our prayers are with you and we pray protection from persecution for you and your wife, your church and your many children to whom you minister. May you ministry prosper, and your people mature. I am still praying for wheelchairs, a children's picture Bible story book, creation account books for the children. Be well, and greet all in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hi there Orin,
Thanks for the pictures of the guys (and girls :)...I really appreciate what Pastor Prakash is doing there. I told my mother about his calling and she wanted to give what she could. It's truly the widow's mite. I'm very fortunate to have a mother that cares about all of God's children. Anyway, I am sending it your way after this email. Thank you for what you are doing too. My best to you and yours. I am so thankful to believe in such a superior God.
Do you mind if I continue using your website to donate to the Leper Colony Church? If for some reason it's better that I don't, that's fine, otherwise it just seems easier to use yours than sending it directly to them. Please let me know. Unless or until God shows me different, I'm in this for the long haul. Never have I seen such a sweet and humble bunch. All that matters to me is that I can help meet their needs as God provides. God sees all.
Anyway, my intent is to send every spare dime to the Leper Church. Also, if it's okay, my plan (unless God shows me different) will be to donate every two weeks. It's helping me more than them to tell you the truth. I need the sense of purpose.
Thanks for the email and I will continue to use your site to donate unless I hear back from you telling me otherwise. If for any reason you would prefer that I send it directly to them, just let me know. I'm happy either way.
Jesus Loves You,
Susie
In the name and by the blood of Christ Jesus,
Susie
