Received the following from Raj tonight.....
"I have just come back from Chennai this morning. I wanted to take this time to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers for my dad who has had a successful open-heart surgery. He is now back home recovering, he still feels week and needs lot of rest and regain energy. The doctors have advised him not to use his bike and avoid travel.
My family and I are so thankful to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for granting us favour and mercy. As many of you know we come from a Hindu background. It is amazing to see how my Dad and Mum have been growing in faith. God has given my Dad almost a second life. In the hospital after Dad’s surgery, he was sharing the gospel and praying with others who have come for a similiar cause. It was so encouraging to see him reading the bible and praise God. Indeed God has been merciful to me by touching my Dad’s life. My mother has been equally growing in the Lord , her prayer life and the time she spends in reading God word has encouraged me so much .
My parent’s spiritual journey means a lot to me for once they where lost but now they are saved. My sister Anitha and brother George have been a great source of strength a I thank God for them.
Please continue to pray for me as I have lots to catch up. God willing we will register as a Trust this month, which will be called ‘The Fishermen Trust’
For the next three weeks I will be teaching in a bible college, I will teaching two modules in youth work (Adolescence Development and Working Groups and Individuals).
Once again thank you for all your support and encouragement, God bless.
Lots of love and prayers.
Raj

Welcome to the blog of The Fishermen Trust (TFT), a Charity working in Bangalore, India. This blog is an attempt to communicate to suporters in the UK (and elsewhere around the world) what Trust is up to on a month by month basis. For details of the vision of the trust and further information on our work go to our main site at www.thefishermentrust.co.in or view our pictures at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/thefishermentrust
A word from the Founder and Director of TFT, Raj Moorthy
I am so excited to be a part of what God is doing today in India! This is a land of opportunity for the 555 million young people that live here and we nee to continue to find innovative ways to reach these young people.
TFT is just one response to the unprecedented need in this country but we cannot meet this need on our own….
In the Bible in Luke 5:1-11, Jesus asked Peter to cast his net on the other side of the boat to catch fish. Peter took Jesus at his word in spite of a hard night of disappointment trying to catch fish. The result of his obedience brought such large a number of fish that his nets began to break. So much so that he had to call his partners to come and help.
It is with this analogy I want to invite you as partners to come alongside in helping to pull the net together. Help me to make this vision a reality, I know God is committed to this in fulfilling his purpose in my life but I would like you to be a part of God’s work.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read this blog. Do visit our main website here and also have a look at our photo album here.
I look forward to hearing from you…..! You can click here to e mail me.
