God continually uses miracles to help the tribal people see the truth about who the Great Healer is during this pandemic. Pranjalʻs sisterʻs mother-in-law suffered a stroke but after 48 hours of solid prayer her speech returned and she was able to move her hands and limbs again. Pranjal has teams praying 24/7 so he knows that all the glory goes to God for the miracles and answered prayer.

Please continue to pray against a spirit of fear, distraction, quarrels, accusations and blame during this time.  The situation in India is still very dire with many DMI disciples getting sick.  After networking with others for money, food and medication, Pranjal spent a day praying and encouraging his team as they took a few trips to get all of those supplies to those in need.   The DMI disciples continue to pray for guidance for local medical personnel as they treat and care for people who have contracted pneumonia, including Pranjalʻs aunt, who recently passed away from pneumonia.

In March 2021, Pranjal officially became a Partner with World Partners!!! Pranjal, our DMI Kauai Team and the World Partners Team had a wonderful meeting via Zoom where we all connected and share about the ministry. As a WP Partner, Pranjal will receive a lot of support from the WP Team.

WP’s Shane D’Souza in India will disciple Pranjal and provide him with opportunities to connect and network with other WP servants in the area. Pranjal will meet with Shane on a monthly basis and complete ministry reports to share with WP. Tami (Administration) and Jennifer (Communications) also provided some helpful guidance regarding security for ministry communications. We are all so thrilled with this partnership and support for Pranjal and the Lord’s work in India.

Please go to the World Partners Site if you are interested in signing up for their monthly PrayLink e-newsletters. Pranjal (Staff Member in the e-newsletter for security reasons) has been highlighted in the February 2021 and March 2021 newsletters.

Great is THY Faithfulness

During this season God has been so faithful by bringing people, resources and support to Pranjal and the DMI Ministry. 

• After a very slow period of Bible translation, a friend from Wycliffe Bible Translators recently contacted Pranjal with an interest to help with the project.  Pranjal sent his friend a draft of what they have already translated, and his friend will assist them with editing and revising.
• After recently praying about starting a children’s ministry, an old friend and  AWANA Director in the area called Pranjal to share some AWANA Children’s Ministry Curriculum.  What an answer to prayer!
• Pranjal also had a two hour talk with an acquaintance who offered to share his expertise in tribal area ministries with the DMI Team.  

People are coming out of the woodwork to partner with DMI.  We all continue to marvel at Godʻs faithfulness and answer to prayers!

Political Uncertainty

Due to ongoing political turmoil, Indian farmers in the area, who are on the lower end of the caste system,  have been suffering greatly.  The current radical party in power has enacted policies prohibiting farmers from selling their goods.  There is a chance that this radical party may soon fall, so farmers are protesting peacefully and DMI is praying that the government in power will have mercy on farmers and grant them favor.
