MANAKUDI RELIEF WORKS

	Manakudi, Kanyakumari District The nation of India being stunned into silence by the Killer Tsunami of December 26. The Jesus Redeems ministries swung into relief action moved by the compassion of Jesus Christ.
	The founder of Jesus Redeems, Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus, himself wanted to see the massive destruction unleashed by the Giant Waves. So he along with a team visited the affected coastal town of Manakudi in the Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu on the 2 January, 2005.
	What this team saw moved them to tears. That village seemed just out of a war. Broken houses, capsized boats, pain-wracked hearts is what they saw.
	Around 800 people of this village were destroyed by the Tsunami, they were told. Those who barely escaped did so with just their clothing on them - they had lost all their other possessions. The books and notes of the School-going children of this village were taken into the turbulent sea on the fateful day.
	The Jesus Redeems team comforted the shell-shocked villagers and listened to their cries and sobs. They gave relief material worth Rs. 1 lakh to them.
	Bedsheets, Sarees, Dhotis, Towels, Water Bottles, Biscuits, Apples, Cooking Vessels were among the relief material distributed to the affected people. The Jesus Redeems Hosur Branch gave these precious people 3000 kgs of rice.
	When the families of that area gathered Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus shared a message that explained from the Bible why such a disaster took place and prayed for God's comfort upon them. Many were in tears as the Spirit the God moved mightily amongst them they surrendered their lives to Jesus, the God of all hope.
