LoCo Ministries India 2019 was a great year of “missions on wheels,� travelling from Kanyakumari to kashmir. In 2020 we have started our Indian crusades under the banner HINDUSTAN ASHIRVATH MAHOTSAV with dress code of Indian traditional outfits. It was glorious gospel meeting with Vaisava tribe in Gujarat where we had seen the powerful move of God; hundreds came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The Vasavas are a clan of the Bhil ethnic community found in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan in India. Hundreds of pastors from different taluks and districts attended each meeting. Many Political leaders, Counsellors and Surpunch came to the meetings. God proved His presence by healing the people, comforting their brokenness. There was joy in the city. We had meetings in Umbergaon, Dhumkal , Songadh, Narmatha districts of Gujarat. By the grace of God we were able to conduct at least one crusade in 270 districts of India. Our desire is to see India washed by the blood of Jesus. People were coming in tractors, trucks and even by waking twenty kilometers by climbing mountains to hear the word of God. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, let's partner with this vision and save souls. We have more meetings lined up this year. In march we are travelling to north eastern state India for missions then the crusades will be continued again from March 20th in Rajastan, Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka,Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Andra Pradesh, Telungana and so on. Covet your prayers and partnership for the same. May God bless you!

It seems to Canaan, the terrain that God has me like a foot ball game where there is no goal promised them. They spied the land and brought keeper and the player merely strikes the ball in to the fruits from there. However, except Joshua the goal post to win as it is left without a goal and Caleb, all others who went keeper. Anybody who understands with them confused the Israelites the strategy of God's fight knows by spreading a pessimistic report the fact that, it is easy victory that about the land. They said we have God gives. It is Jesus who has seen Anak' descendants and we Understand our identity and were like grasshoppers in our own empowered us to be position in Christ.

able to overcome.' The Bible says we have been brought out of darkness into His marvelous light. Let us remain faithful to proclaim His excellencies. We have to thank God for setting us apart for His purposes. Thank Him for saving us as His possession. Thank God for the privilege of being His children. As we belong to Him, He takes the responsibility for our provision. This is our legal stand which we have received through Jesus Christ.
You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit” John 3:7, 8. No Power is permitted to stop him or her from fulfilling their destiny and purposes in their life. It is Jesus who has empowered us to be God's children and we have His DNA. We live like Him, talk like Him. The wind is felt by man; we notice its evidence when we see the swaying of the trees. At times the wind pushes down buildings, trees and any obstacle is in its way and the blockages had to succumb to it. That is the evidence of the wind's presence. A believer should manifest the evidences of the indwelling power of God in and through his life. Dear brothers and sisters, do not accept defeat. We are empowered to cast out the demons, heal the sick, cleanse the leper and raise the dead and live a life of glory. No power is permitted to stand in opposition against our progress. When we make decrees and declarations, the heaven backs it up. We loose and bind and it is so in the spiritual as well as in the physical realm. We live a life of evidence by miracles, signs and wonders in Jesus name. The year 2020 forward let us PROCLAIM TO POSSESS!
The Bible says that “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” I Corinthians 1:30. We are in Christ Jesus to do His plans. Further, the word of God says “…in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” Romans 8:37. We are not in crisis but we are in Christ. My Identity in Christ is: I am a child of God, born of God, seated in heavenly places with Him above every principality, dominion, authority and every power (Ephesians 1:21). When I am in Christ, I am no longer in crisis! A born again believer is like a wind! The holy Bible says “The wind blows wherever it pleases.
A believer should manifest the evidences of the indwelling power of God in and through his life. Dear brothers and sisters, do not accept defeat. We are empowered to cast out the demons, heal the sick, cleanse the leper and raise the dead and live a life of glory. No power is permitted to stand in opposition against our progress. When we make decrees and declarations, the heaven backs it up.

In 2019, five members of LoCo team had an opportunity to conduct our first overseas crusade in Uganda at a place called Koboko. Koboko is situated in the Northern region of Uganda, 550 km (342 miles) from Kampala, the capital of Uganda. Koboko is known to be the hometown of the African dictator Mr. Idi Amin. We didn't know much about Koboko until we arrived there. However, thousands of people from different spheres attended those four days of LoCo' glorious gospel meetings. We have witnessed hundreds of souls committing their lives to Jesus Christ and many were healed from different kinds of diseases. At the end of the anointed crusades our hearts were filled with compassion. We felt not to leave the people of Koboko with no one to help them. Mathew 9:36 says “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.� Hence, we made a plan to help them to continue their walk of faith. We felt the call and need to initiate a Mission school in Koboko to train their own LoCo Times
people to become Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to continue to spread the Gospel to the different tribes. That's when the idea of LoCo International School of Mission and Evangelism was born. The Arch deacon of the Church of Uganda came forward to partner with us in fulfilling the need. The Arch deacon has given their premises in Koboko to open our first LoCo Mission School of Evangelism. God has enabled us to continue the mission school and its construction. The building works started with very little resources and a lot of faith. However, God made a way where there seemed to be no way. Eventually, we were able to erect the buildings convenient enough to start our school. We didn't want to delay the work, since our team and the students who registered with our institution were excited to witness and experience the instilling of the vision and the revelation of God's kingdom into those young souls who are hungry and thirsty to be used by God for His glory.

Students Training
Our Mission Challenges
LoCo School of Mission and Evangelism' first batch began in 2019 August with fifty six young students from four African nations. It is a full time residential course of over six months. Right now we have all the adequate resources and many resource personnel such as five full-time faculty and four visiting faculty from overseas. We are amazed to see the lives that are transformed, and the people that are called out for special purposes. Some among them discovered their special gifts and calling while going through the training at LoCo Mission School. By God's grace our first batch graduated on 28thJanuary 2020. We firmly believe that all our graduates are in the field and in matter of time they will bear much fruits.
Koboko School of Evangelism began with a lot of strives in the midst of various struggles and we are still existing as a matter of faithfulness of God. In the earlier stages we were challenged due to various health issues. We went through common health issues like Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera and so on. Most of our students were affected; it was a tough time in the beginning of the installation of our institution. Our principal and two of our visiting faculties from overseas were terribly affected by cerebral malaria several times. We are looking forward for a dedicated 'Doctor Team' who can come and organize some medical camps in these places and open some health centers in Uganda to bless the community.

Let's join hands We are blessed with a car gifted by a well wisher. We are in need of a motor bike with a carriage provision to buy provisions for our school. Since the students who attend are very poor who can't even afford to buy the necessary clothing for their daily use, such help would be appreciated. Need some office equipments, cooking utensils and proper bedding for students. Still few more rooms of our campus facility have to be plastered and painted so that they look neat and tidy. Above all, most of our missionaries who graduated from our institution needed some support to start their evangelism works and even new batch of students need sponsorship to continue their studies.

Gospel Crusade Unit We are trusting God in this year for a PA system as we have in India to start Gospel Campaigns across East Africa. This would help our missionaries to go and set it up in different villages and demonstrate the power of God. Let us build our Lord's Kingdom with His great favour and blessings. May the Lord bless you as you prayerfully stand with us for the gospel.
