Help flood victims

Hope all of you are aware that there was a terrible flood in Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh recently. In some ways the suffering of people is worse than that of Tsunami. Karnataka government and administration being very ineffective, the poor villagers in many districts are suffering beyond measure. Lakhs of them lost homes and all their belongings. Most of them are starving. Before the flood itself most of them were in debts and poverty, now it got worse!

We have sent a team fro the Church to Raichur and Hubli to help. If any of you want to help the victims, kindly contact me. Any help will be appreciated by God!

Prayer request

Hi Everyobody, This month there were few birthdays in our family. We were happy to have Unnipriya come over to be with us for her birthday on 3rd Oct. Then on 8th was the B'day of Justin, Mollychechy and Beena's dad (Chacha).

Also, Abigail is having chicken pox for last 15 days. She is getting better then from yesterday I too got the same! I feel terribly weak and back pain and headache. Please pray for me to get well soon.

Another Mile Stone in Adeline's life

Last week was special for Adeline. She started sitting up by herself in the beginning of the week and by the end of week she is crawling and is able to stand up by holding her cradle. We thank all of you for praying for her. She has overcome all her health challenges and is quite healthy and active now.

We are really excited to have Unnipriya in Bangalore. She took up a job as Assistant Lecturer in Wokhardt College of Nursing from 9th of September. Her best friend Greeshma also joined with her. Their college and hostel are quite far from our house but atleast during weekends she comes home to be with us.

Prayer answered

Ed & Deb Anton

Ever since Abhishek had his Anaphylactic reaction, we were praying and trying to get an 'Auto Injector' which can easily inject the emergency medicine to his body to save his life in case for any future attacks. But none of the Doctors in U.S were willing to give prescriptions without seeing the patient.
Finally we got in touch with Dr.Debra Anton, who is a friend of ours in Hamptonroads. She had come to India couple of times with her husband who is a Teacher in the Church. As soon as we contacted her she not only gave the prescription but also bought the medicine and sent it through anothe friend of ours Oommen George who came to Trivandrum in the last week of July. She was so generous that she was not willing to take even the money for it (Costs $146).

Now Abhishek is carrying this new injection with him wherever he goes. He himself can inject it on to his thigh very easily incase of another attack. We Praise God for giving such relationships in the Church who are so quick to help.

Trip To Kerala

We had a great time visiting families in Kerala during our holidays. It was great to see everyone in Kattappana join us for a dinner. We are really grateful to God and to Ennamma Chechy for saving Abhishek's life from Anaphylactic reaction due to ant bite.

Adeline had her first rice meal in Ayarkunnam.

We are grateful that Chacha and Ammachy could join us for our trip to Kattappana.As usual we enjoyed amazing hospitality of Georachen, Ennammachechy & Thankamma chechy

We had a good time with Mollychechy on our way back from Kattappana

Prayer Request

It was so schocking to hear that Abhishek had an 'Anaphylactic' reaction due to 'ant bite' recently in Kattappana. By God's grace he was saved as Ennammachechy acted timely with the right injection administered on him immediately and also rushed him to hospital. Please pray that he will overcome this reaction which is so dangerous.

Abhishek's Pet

Abhishek's pet Zimba gave birth to two kittens and soon one was eaten by the mother. He is happy to have atleast one kitten being alive.

New addition to the family

We are extremely grateful to God for working wonders in providing us a wonderful baby girl. She was born on 4th Jan '09 at 7:05pm. It was a normal delivery that Beena had after 11 years of gap. Annmariya was there next to Beena with me throughout the labour except the last and final 5 minutes! Baby was in hospital anothe 8 days as she had less weight and struggle to feed, prolonged jaundice etc. Thank you all for your prayers and support. Because of this we couldn't attend Unnipriya's engagament. I hope to attend the wedding. Here are a few snaps of the baby.

Unnipriya's visit

It was great to have Unnipriya to be with us for couple of days. We wish her very best for her engagement and marriage that follows.

Happy New Year

We had a great beginning for the New Year with a wonderful all night prayer. As Beena is in the last stage of pregnancy, she couldn't attend it. Annmariya stayed with Beena to give support. Abhishek and I enjoyed the prayer and celebration. We also witnessed 2 men turning to Jesus in the early hours of Jan 1st.
