This is the only church.  People from various villages thronged to see a church Building .  Out of 32 villages onlyl 8 are reached.  Pastor Prabhu Dayal is working here.  Recently a doctor from Adilabad town seeing our work promised to support constructing 7 churches. T Umri Village is also in Talamadugu mandal.  Now church is being built here.  Gondi Tribal people are coming to the Lord.  In Dorli Village Vijayamma was beaten by her own son for following Lord Jesus Christ.  She was dragged to the local police station.  In spite of the opposition she led her two daughters to the Lord.  Both mother and daughters were baptized. Still her son is persecuting her. Pray for that family.
