I am thinking about and praying for the Luxambari school in West Bengal, India. The Peniel Gospel Team operates a Free School in the village of Luxambari in order to educate the children as well as teach them the gospel. All in an effort to plant churches in NE India. Due to the poor educational system for the village people, many villagers either never attend school or are poorly educated. PGT strives to provide education for the villagers while evangelizing the students. They teach young children in the morning - math,literature, etc. - while older students attend state schools. In the afternoon they attract the older students with a free meal given they first listen Biblical teaching. Many come to be fed of the bread that will fill temporarily, while also being fed the Bread of Life that satisfies eternally. Pictured below is Mammen Joseph, founder of PGT, along with the teachers, leaders, and students at Luxambari. Bicycles are being presented to the students who have faithfully attended and excelled in the school. This also provides incentive for the students to attend and learn. Join with me in praying for to the he furtherance of God's kingdom in NE India through the many venues.
