Our church has supported his ministry for over eighteen years. It was wonderful to finally meet him! I really enjoyed hearing about his ministry and getting to speak with him. It was a very nice treat and a big blessing.
The first picture below is of his Bible. Notice anything intriguing about it? On the left of each page is the scripture in the Telugu language. On the right of each page is the same scripture printed in English! It was very interesting indeed.
The second picture below is of our congregation (minus about eight people) with Bro. Bandaru.

Bro. Bandaru and I have a common interest...... cameras!!
He repairs film cameras as a hobby and hopes to learn more about digital soon! It was very fun to talk to him. :D

That's neat. It's always so interesting when you meet a missionary in perosn. The missionary our church supports visited a few moths ago and gave an incredible missions report. BTW, you should find out if you can make it to the C.H.E.F Christmas ball. -TTYL Michael
ReplyDeleteYes it really is!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the C.H.E.F Christmas ball? And where exactly? It sounds like fun!
The C.H.E.F Christmas ball is held in the ball room of a cathedral in down town St.Louis Missouri. Most of the dances fall in to the category of English country dancing. Each year they have a theme. This year it will be a Civil war ball next year I think it will be a Scotts/Irish ball. Last year well over a hounded people showed up so its a little crowded. I think you can find out more at www.chef-missouri.com/ I hope it works out for you -Michael
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing and really fun! ..seeing how we are almost four hours away from St. Louis, I don't believe we'll be there. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me though. I wish it wasn't so far away, I'd love to come.
