The Covid- 19 pandemic has changed the structure of the World. Many countries greatly suffered and as you are aware of it, India is one of the greatest hotspots in the World. This had untold hardships, sufferings and great difficulties for the whole population. In order to curb the rapid transmission of the virus, the government has imposed a series of curfew and long total lockdowns. This led to shortage of food items supplies, soaring prices and job loss. In the meantime, our poor faithful Church members are being infected and treated and some of them succumbed to death. There was no more Church Services and this further stumble the financial incomes of our Church. While sharing our acute problems to Rev. Dr. Gareth Edwards, Dr. David Norbury, Rev. Matt Francis and Mr. Peter Harris, they directed us to write an Appeal letter after their conversation. Thus, the Independent Church of India leaders had decided to promote the following needs if any financial support can be provided to us:\nRELIEF FUND: The second wave of the Covid- 19 pandemic led many families living in the towns and interior villages greatly suffered hardships and great difficulties. Majority of our Church members under the Independent Church of India are farmers, daily wage \u2013 earners, carpenters, brick-workers and welders. Due to curfew and total lockdown, many of these people could no longer continue their works. They had a hard and difficult family life and greatly need to get dry ration relief. Our Church initiated some small relief works amongst the poor members from some friends and well wisher, the photo is included for your kind information.\nIMMEDIATE NEED OF THE SIELMAT BIBLE COLLEGE: The progress and development of the Sielmat Bible College at this present juncture is mainly due to the love contributions from the Evangelical Movement of Wales. The Library Building, the huge Library Books, students Scholarship supports and sets of Computers for use by the students may be cited. The M.Div Programme had been introduced since last year and due to financial shortage the College could not purchase a Canon Xerox Machine IR Class which approximately cost INR 190,000 lakhs which has been in great demands by the student community and the Faculty. Our Library books are limited and to get good books within India is a big issue. If there can be a big Xerox machine, students will avail to copy their book requirements and there will be no confusion for the Library Department in the College. A short video clip of the Sielmat Bible College buildings and library is attached in the ANNEXTURE- II for easy reference.\nMARRIED QUARTERS FOR MISSIONARIES AND PASTORS AT THE SIELMAT BIBLE COLLEGE: The Sielmat Bible College is the main centre of theological training for our Missionaries and Pastors under our Church. Our Missionaries are selected by the Mission Board and the Pastors are selected by the Pastoral Committee every year for further theological training at the College. Many of the selected students are married and they often struggled with the place where they will keep their family. If, at least three new quarters can be constructed immediately, with approximate cost of INR 800,000 lakhs per one building, there will be a great relieve for the students and the Faculty. Some photos of the make-shift quarters allotted to the married students is enclosed herewith in the ANNEXTURE- III for your kind information.\nThe above three points are forwarded for your kind moral, physical and prayers supports."}, {"text_idx": "#000024", "text": "Ape\u0302l i gefnogi Eglwys annibynnol India yn ystod yr argyfwng cofid-19.\nLleoliad a Cysylltu a\u0302 ni"}]
