ail.comgt To ,   Mr. Joshua Mahendranath and the
team from America (Bobby Homes)   American team
bringing divisions in well established churches
in India.   Greetings in the name of our Lord
and savior Jesus Christ.   We are working in
India for the last 32 years to plant the Lords
churches in Many corners of our country with the
help and support of ministers sponsors from
Churches of Christ at USA. Some of the
congregations in India are self supported.   In
the recent past years, your team from America
have come to India and took shelter under us to
proclaim the gospel with the good spirit and in
the interest of Lords work. We have introduced
and allowed the pulpit in the congregations.

• Later we came to know that they are preaching
  that-
• The place set apart for worship is holy and hence
  the place
• should not be used for any other purpose other
  than worship
• Bible schools are against the new testament (but
  they grabbed
• the preachers who trained in the bible schools
  and honoring
• their certificates)
• Ladies' meet is against the New Testament
• Orphanages, widow and old age homes are against
  the
• New Testament
• Youth meeting is against New Testament
• Fellowship get together is against the New
  Testament
• There should not be leadership, but in their own
  team they
• have team leaders to cover the areas. This is
  nothing but
• opposing leadership and bossism openly and
  encouraging
• and practicing indirectly. (where is the New
  Testament  
• authority?)

4
So we have disassociated and discouraged your
team. Taking advantage of our introduction and
hospitality with the congregation, they
have taken liberty and attracted some preachers
with more money than what they are getting,
In Some other congregation, where there is
no support to the preachers, they attracted with
support. They not only named us As liberals, but
also showed us as notorious wherever they went to
gain peoples sympathy, kindness and moral
support and corrupted the clean hearts.
5
With this motive they grabbed not only
preachers whom we have trained, but also
converts, church buildings and properties. If
once they have attracted the preachers, they
never visit those congregations again, but
invite the preachers to submit the reports at
the meetings which they conducted in hotels. In
the absence of your team in India, these
preachers would sit before the computers and send
false and fabricated reports to their sponsors,
as if the conservative Christian teachings are
effective and developed in the congregations.
But it is true that the congregations who fell
prey to your team, still preaching and
teaching and practicing what was taught earlier.
6
Some preachers who are taking support from your
team and still continue to taking support from
those who were supporting earlier. In this way
the team is making the preachers to
misappropriate the Lords money and promote
committing sin. If you visit these congregations
without prior intimation, you will see the true
colors. The preachers whom you are supporting
are the people of our converts trained by us and
now they are posing and boasting that it is
their labor (please refer the scripture 2 Cor
10 12-18) It is our challenge, if half of the
amount of your support is curtailed half of the
preachers whom you are supporting will disappear
from you. If the full support is stopped none of
them will stay with your team.
7
It is our sincere advice to the team to go to
perishing souls in India and not to the
congregations which are already established to
bring division and confusion among the churches.
Let your supporting so called preachers, start a
new congregations, and prove their capacity 
that they are knowledgeable preachers. Showing
and entering our labor to you and boasting and
posing, is nothing but unscriptural, you are
encouraging such kind of cults and part taking
their sin.
8
When you are calling us liberals,  Why you need
our converts  and our property ?. Are you not 
ashamed of this?  Let your supported preachers
get out from our labor, and of our property. 
This is nothing but stealing and robbing , and
grabbing. Two Congregations understood   the
colors  and drove their preachers out.  You are
buying so called preachers with American
dollars.
9
Beloved team, this is not mine or your money but
the Lords money which is being misused by you
to the notorious liars and cheaters. These
notorious liars and cheaters are not only
cheating us, but also cheating you and American
brethren and God. One day we are all accountable
to the Lord at His judgment seat. (2 Cor 510) .
We are praying for your repentance. With
love Jacob Chukka (BANGALORE).
