To get MPM planted churches organized as Evangelical Reformed Churches we need prayerful guidance so that we can without breaking relationship with RPCI may be able to incorporate the Three Forms and Unity into the church education and life and have a biblical church government and pattern of worship. While doing this may hurt Rev. Hiwale a bit but pray that this be the effort of preserving the doctrinal value of the church and making peace among many who are indifferent in their understanding about reformed faith in India.

Both have committed their lives to the Lord giving testimony that it was very appealing and did gave hope to them when Rev. Hiwale shared gospel mentioning forgiveness that is found in Christ Jesus while talking with the prisoners. Please pray that we find great number of Christians to pray for the prisoners and their families that they have left behind. It's a great work that needs huge counseling. Promi has take challenge to take care of the counseling area of our mission work.
- Counseling Center in India is another need that we have felt in the church-planting field, please pray that the Lord leads Promi and her group of women friends to give all needed motherly counseling to the ladies that are hurting in our mission fields.
