It’s been a busy week which began with Elena visiting some of the poorest widows in our Widow Group. It is truly something to see the smiling faces of these dear ladies in spite of their difficult lives. One young widow, Jodi, and her small son are living in a rented tin hut with no windows, no running water or electricity. The hut is small with only an old double sized bed which she shares with her son. Through the efforts of Cross Angle Ministries we were able to get her approved for a government house. Her father has given a small plot of land and the house is being built upon it. CAM will provide the windows and door when the house is finished.

Another widow is Madhavi. Her home is condemned and needs to be torn down. The government has issued her a contract to build a new house but not until the old one is torn down and carted away. Viju is making arrangements for the demolition to begin soon. The house contract expires after three months at which time she will lose the offer. Mahdavi does not have money to pay for the demolition which will cost about $400 USD. Viju has enlisted her 22 year old son to assist the company that is taking down the old house. That will help a bit with the cost of hiring a laborer. CAM is contributing some of the cost and we are trusting God for the rest. Once her new house is built, we will provide the windows and door.

These widows have come to know the Lord through the love and support they have received through Cross Angle Ministries.

With less than a month to go, we continue to serve in spite of many obstacles. The Devil has been nonstop in his pursuit to hinder our progress like never before. Viju said “if I wasn’t here, I would not believe it.” There have been various health issues, hospital visits, ongoing car issues, police investigations, a near miss motorcycle accident, 5 star hotel problems like shower plumbing falling apart and a family of rats partying in the vent system in the bathroom. And yet, the ministry is thriving like never before. The conferences are drawing record numbers of people. The harder the enemy tries to shut us down, the greater the ministry prospers. 2 Chronicles 20:15 promises,“Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” The idea that the battle belongs to the Lord means that we should step aside and let God fight for us. And that is what we’ve done. We focus on what we’ve been called to do and we leave the Devil to God.
Sal presented two long days of conference teaching on Revelation and the Judgements. For most of the delegates, this was the first time they attended any teachings on these topics. Elena finished off the week with a Women’s Conference centering on Psalm 1:1-3. All in all, about 600 delegates attended throughout the three days.
