With great joy, we celebrate the ordination of Ms. Onenlemla Ao today on November 8, 2020. Alemla and her husband Lanu (Rev. B. Lanutemjen Jamir) are members of the Molungyimsen Baptist Church in Nagaland, NE India. They have rich experience serving the Telugu grassroots community in South India. Two years ago, they were invited by the International Ministries and the Ao Baptist Church Association, with the blessings and support of their church, to serve the Banjara Baptist churches and villages. Please pray for Alemla and Lanu and their ministry.

Recent mission sharing of Alemla and Lanu:

* “It is needless to mention that Banjara churches are under great financial constrains like other churches in rural areas. Tithes, offering and other incomes have dropped drastically and causing both pastors and believers difficulty to survive. With donations from well-wishers we were able help them and distributing groceries to pastors and church members. We are praying for God’s help because situation will become more difficult in the coming days.” In addition, International Ministries has provided food and other COVID relief to Banjara pastors and their families. More assistance is needed for the Banjara people.

* The Women’s Department of the Convention of Banjara Baptist Churches led by Alemla participated in fasting and prayer organized by Indian Baptist Women’s Union on 1-5 July 2020.
