Transformation 2008, Kidz Camp at Khandala: A Success Story:

Dear Brothers and sisters,
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ
We thank and Praise God the Almighty for providing everything and making this camp a Great Success. This has been possible because of the force behind us i.e. YOU, who have supported us financially and in prayers. Needless to mention, we are highly obliged and also appreciate the concern shown towards Children and of the trust you put in us.

There were altogether 33 participants. Mrs. Madhuri Arole, Louis Shelke, Mrs. Vibhavari Gorde, Rajani Telore and Rev. Prashant Gorde were the resource persons for various subjects, Vishwas Ohol and Santosh Sonawane looked after the entire management of the camp.

The Theme: Transformation: Learning through the lives of three Heroes from the Bible: Joseph, Moses and St Paul: To know the will of God in ones life, accepting His perfect will and committing our life to Him.
Children have learnt various things like making puppets doing craft work amidst the tranquil nature. They enjoyed performing various skits, writing their own script, directing and enacting the lives of Joseph, Moses and St. Paul . Then learning about them through the Scriptures from the Bible. Most importantly we feel proud to mention that these youngsters have accepted Lord Jesus as their Personal savior.
We request you all to pray for all these children as they have accepted the Lord and also remember us in your prayers and the upcoming project:

Nursery for the children of Sex Workers in Budhwar Peth, Pune.

AUDIO BIBLE IN MARATHI:
Cassettes and CD form of the Bible reading in Marathi from Pandita Ramabai’s Translation . It will be in two versions viz. 1) Plain reading and 2) Dramatized version, starting with the Gospel according to St. John
Even though the Project is in the early stage we have already recorded the Gospel of St John and soon we will be completing the dramatized version also.
Please Pray: Remember in prayers for raising funds and artists requirement for voice over .
v MATRIMONIAL SERVICES
This is again a huge task and responsibility. Here we feel a need to cater to this challenge. We have always felt that there should be specialized and trust-worthy personnel who would act as a mediator between the bride and the groom. Working very close with the church and the congregation has widened our networking and the relationship that we have developed over the years. We would further like to use these expertise to help the probable bride and groom to build their house.

Hence do remember us in your prayers and simultaneously would request for your priceless opinion in this initiative.

Once again we thank you all for supporting us in our endeavor. God bless you!
Yours in His service
Rev. Prashant Gorde

An introduction by Rev. Anil Nagarkar as regards the passion of Jesus and the service started........the next couple of hours were blessed, full of anointment, holy and we all felt the presence of almighty with us.....What a glorious feel..which cannot be written in words......but I am sure GOD gave us an opportunity to touch the lives of those who have not yet received him completely...........
Sharing: Who are we to say the word of god..We are nothing but ash and dust, we are but born sinners who commit hundreds of sin daily. And as King David said in Psalms we are born sinners , from the womb of our mother, when we were gaining shape , we are sinners.........
But this is the testimony, however bad we are, however big sinners we are , God has used us meticulously. That god who does not like sinners, that god who is holy, that god who hate sin to that extent that once he washed away all mankind except Noah and his family, secondly he destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah...............That LIVING GOD gave us an opportunity to speak on his scriptures.....
Moral: We will keep racing through the doors that GOD opens for us.......................we will Preach the Gospel...Allelujah
