Ministry to Bommakka Hindu VillagersReport from Rev. Glory Dhas, www.jmhammm.com for Motherland Missionary Movement-JMHA The “Bommakka” or Thotty Nayakar people came to settle in the State of Tamil Nadu in the time of Nayakars (king family), 350 years ago, from the north. In Salem there are more than 70 villages of Bommakka, but in other […]

We all have arrived safely in India and are now at the Rev. Glory’s Motherland Orphanage and Home. It is lovely! We are at a retreat in the middle of busy, crowded India. This morning we were formally greeted by the children (about 50 of them) with national dances, praise dances to God, songs and […]

There are 44 children currently living here at the home. By June, they hope to have 100 children here. They will build a second story dormitory with palm branches on the roof. This will be the cheaper way to add additional accommodations. Doug, Paul, Shelly, Cathy and I are sitting outside our rooms, enjoying the […]

Rev. Glory arranged for the Wings Team (Ann, Pastors Doug and Paul, Cathy, Rita and I) to visit a rural village outside Salem. We traveled some pretty rough roads in our van which was skillfully driven by Andrew, Rev. Glory’s younger brother. Our trip was not without some humor. Prior to driving to this village […]

Shelly’s message was very descriptive and so well written. There were only a few more comments that I wanted to make about our visit to the rural village last night. We visited this rural, Hindu village. Rev. Glory had very intentionally chosen this village for outreach, as the main occupation of the men is being […]

Last evening we walked about 2 KM to an orphanage that houses orphans and children of prisoners. Rev. Glory is the second oldest of four brothers, and All four brothers are in ministry. His oldest brother, Judson, runs this special orphanage. The property was given to Rev. Glory’s father, Pastor Joseph, over 15 years ago. […]

Yesterday afternoon, Tuesday March 21, 2006, was very eventful. We set out about 3 PM for several events about 20 km away. Igbal was our driver again and he has turned out to not only be a good driver but also a good photographer and helper during parties. All this in spite of calling him […]

This is going to be a very interesting message. We are all packed in the 8-passenger van, with our trusted and capable driver Igbol. I’m sandwiched between Doug and Rev. Glory in the middle seat as I’m typing this. Yesterday we started the day very early. We all attended the 6:00 am morning devotional. Paul […]

I am sitting outside our rooms with Paul and Doug. We are boiling water, Doug is trying to cool the water by pouring it back and forth into our cereal bowls, and we are refilling our water bottles. My legs are elevated, as all our legs and feet are swollen. Today was another wonderful day. […]

We are on the train to Chennai and we barely made it! Igbol has always been so prompt, but this morning he arrived a little late and we didn’t depart our home until 8:00. Because of the weight of the bags, Rev. Glory felt it would be better to go in two trips. With great […]
