Through a season of wait

Greetings from Anbalagan, Venilla, and Sridhar

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the images of His son, that he might be the first born among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

This has been our theme verse for the month. We feel that God has predestined us and called us to be just like him and to imitate him. We want to be faithful in whatever we do. This month has been a season of just praying harder for God to give us a word in order for us to strive in this business. There were times when we, as a team, were really discouraged and confused. But we are constantly reminded of God’s faithfulness. He’s been teaching us to be patient and believe in him.

This past month has been wonderful for the 3 of us. We got an awesome opportunity to set up a stall at a football club.  It was the first time we hosted for a large number of people.  There were almost 400 people...what a stressful and scary thing right??? But it was such a fun experience for us.  We were able to connect with a lot of new customers and it has helped us to expand our connections within our local community and outside too. We now know how to estimate the cost and outcomes of big events. This will help us create a better strategy and preparation for big events in the future. We were able to talk to people and get their feedback on our products and that has been a great help to us.

 We are so grateful and blessed to have a huge family to help us make this event a successful one, Couldn’t have done it without them. We feel so blessed!! .

We still function at home because we haven’t found a location yet but hopefully we will find a place soon. Over the course of this month we were able to draw in more customers, thanks to all the promotions we had. It has helped us increase our customer base and has given us motivation to work harder.

August is going to be a very crucial month for us, we are really grateful for all your prayers but we still need your prayers. We are praying for God’s clarity over a major decision. If you feel like the Lord is giving you a word feel free to share it with us, it will be really encouraging. We continue to hold on to his word and keep believing in his word.
