Welcome to Love Faith Hope Ministry of India - LHFMI

 

Pastor Israel KodomalaIn the partnership and blessing of Father John Austin (Formerly of Blackpool Christian Fellowship, Lancashire, UK, and now with the Lord), I have seen vision from the Bible, in the book of Luke 4:18-19, and the book of 1Cor 13.

With the inspiration of God I registered a society with seven members with the name of "LFHMI".

WORK IN THE PAST: 

Crusades

Two Church plants for the forest area pastors

Teaching and training for pastors, making them as an United pastors fellowship. Seminars and Bible classes, Short time Bible school for youth of Orissa state. Basic knowledge of Bible.

Visiting Churches and encourage them with the Word of God. The work was in the villages and forest areas and slum in the districts of Guntur, Prakasam, Krishna, East Godavari, Visakha, Srikakulam and Nalgonda. The States are Andhra Pradesh and Orissa.

SOCIAL WORK: 

This social work is always linked with the Spiritual work to serve the Lord among the people.

LFHMI school was run for slum children and Orphans

Helping widows and Orphans, sick and poor, medical companies, appointment the nurses for forest areas and villages.

Visited leprosy campus in Orissa state who were out of the villages. And also visited East Godavari leprosy people. We shared word of God and helped with clothes and food.

AWARENESS:

Villages and forest areas to know diseases like Malaria, Typiod, Colara, poision fevers and dog bites etc.

LFHMI has always known challenge from the beginning. We faced many problems to go forward into very dangerous places to preach the Gospel to save the people with His word through our lives.

We crossed big rivers by a very small boat, we went into deep forest areas and gave the people clothes and showed them the love of God. No missionary entered into the places before. But the love of God sent me with my team to reach them to know the truth. Sometimes, we travelled very long distances by foot. No mountains or valleys stopped us for the Kingdom of God. Here poison snakes, cruel animals of forest, night journey in darkness with rainstorm etc. Some areas were very dangerous with political and religious people for the Gospel work. Our lives are sowed for the Kingdom of Light.

PRESENT WORK:

Praying for land and building construction for church and ministry work start again.

We are visiting families and friends beside villages of Guntur.

We also have House Church for Sunday service.

Twice a year we attend pastors meetings for EGD and Visakha districts, encouraging them with the Word of God. We distribute new clothes for the forest area pastors.

Pastors are coming to Guntur to meet us and praying together for Lord's work rise again.

We are helping with small amounts for a old age woman and a man who are in different places. They don't have any house or family members. We have been supporting them financially or the past six years.

We are training my children in the fear of the Lord and teaching them to preach the gospel, giving testimonies, worship in the church, practicing songs with music, and visiting other churches to teach Sunday school children in their holidays etc.

FUTURE PLAN:

Land and building construction for church

Church plantation in different places

Arrange Pastors meetings twice a year

Bible training for youth short term course

Helping widows and orphans, the sick and poor.

We thank God He is with us always and leading in His ways.
