A periodic update of current happenings at Maranatha. According to Doug Clark, India construction manager, results have come quickly. In Haryana, where there were about six Adventist members in 1997, there are currently over 2,000 members. Over 300 baptisms will take place in Haryana during November. Over 100,000 people joined the Adventist Church in India during the first six months of 2000.
Requests come in constantly for new churches.
Maranatha is currently working on an additional 150 projects in India, many in the central part of India. This year's project promises yet another fantastic opportunity to provide an urgently needed school while taking time to enjoy the beautiful location. The island of Providenciales in Turks and Caicos is home to a growing group of Adventists. A new school is needed to provide education to children as well as serve the needs of a growing Haitian immigrant population. Volunteers will work hard on the project, but won't miss a chance to enjoy the excellent diving and snorkeling available in the islands.
