Just nu är Eva och jag så upptagna av det som drabbat oss att vi glömmer bort att det finns så mycket lidande ute i världen. I dag när jag öppnade min e-post här hemma blev jag påmind om detta. Jag hade fått ett nyhetsbrev från det missionsarbete Eva och jag stöder borta i Indien. Vårt stöd började med att vi var med på en missionskväll i pingstkyrkan här i Landskrona.

Dearly beloved Rune Lundbald
Greetings to you in the Most Exalted Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Finally , brethren, "Pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you . 2 Thess 3:1 .
At present my wife Elizabeth is suffering from terrible headache and gas trouble in the stomach . My son Samuel was well for one month until 2nd February but again started same stomach problem . Kindly pray for them .
At the same time from 9th to 15th February I will be traveling with my team and medical team to place called Pulbani ( Orissa ) where 70000 thousand Christians under terrible persecution and staying in refugee camps , 4000 homes destroyed , 3000 missing , 77 people burned and hacked to death and 450 burn down . We have been praying to help these believers . We have one brother working in that part of the country . He says how much they are suffering even without a blanket . Their Bibles were burn down . Their homes were burn down. Their churches were burn down . We know we can not help all their needs . When I told with my tribal believers in our churches , they told me brother Jacob ! we will stop one or two days meals and we will save that rice and we will give you to give to suffering believers . I thank God for their encouragement .
We are going there to help these suffering people with blankets , some Bicycles , some Bibles, Rice and with free medical camps as resources allows us . We are very thankful if you would kindly consider to pray for our team for God's protection and the needs for our travelings . I will be writing you with report when I come back with my team.
Also please pray for our annual convention and 15th Bible college graduation service which will be held from 6th to 8th March . There will be 8 to 10 thousand people gathering in our mission station for 3 days and nights . People coming from South and North India . This will be like Bible days . When people come they also bring new people where get opportunity to know about Jesus and experience salvation . During the convention hundreds of people receive Baptisms . Kindly pray for God's protection and needs for the convention and graduation service . We wish you would be with us in this convention to share your love . But we pray that your love and blessings will be with us in the convention .
My team and my self we are praying and planning to spend 10 full days in fasting prayers for all these challenges and to seek the Lord for His strength and wisdom.
Thank you for standing with us in the Master's work for His Glory.
Thank you for now and God bless you
