Neela Bala Chandra Sekhar was born on May 26, 1971, which makes him 38 years old, this year of 2009! He was born and raised in India and, having no living parents, was adopted by me and Rosetta as one of our sons, although we have never seen more than a photograph of him, he now being the "Evangelist of Yehovaw" for our ministry, Faith Harvest Israel, in India!

For nineteen years, Neela worked as a "catecist" or teacher for the Catholic Church, in the city of Guntur, in the district of Guntur, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, in Southeastern India! But Neela was beginning to feel uncomfortable, being asked to teach things that he could not find in Yehovaw's Holy Bible!

Since India is one of the poorest countries in the world, a routine thing for ministries in India to do has been to contact ministries in the United States and convince them to support them financially! So near the beginning of 2007 Neela contacted my ministry, Faith Harvest Israel, through my website, honorhislaw.com!

Such a solicitation requires stating what one's ministry is about! And, as I responded to his request, he discovered a pastor who was interested in what his ministry is about and who took the trouble of showing him scriptures from out of Yehovaw's Holy Bible that clarified what his ministry should be about.

That ministry of love on my part and the dialogue that followed by email for the next several months brought the most amazing result I could have imagined; for Neela then informed me, that on August 1 of 2007 he would be quitting his post as a teacher for the Catholic church and going to work as the Evangelist for Faith Harvest Israel!

That move on Neela's part meant

- that he would have to go to work as a plumber; for his church would no longer be paying him the equivalent in rupees of 350 of our dollars per month!

- that he would have to pay rent for some dwelling for his family; because that would no longer be furnished by his church!

- that he would have to pay fees for the education of his son and daughter! For that, too, would no longer be provided free of charge in a Catholic school!

- that he would be utterly dependent upon Faith Harvest Israel, the name of my ministry, for whatever funds he would have by which to continue his ministry among the twelve villages in which he had established churches while working for the Catholic church!

- that he would be subject to vicious persecution by the Catholic church for having turned against them in his doctrine and choice of sponsor under which to continue his ministry!

Still, with all of that facing him, Neela made his decision, believing that it was what Yehovaw wanted him to do! So he was a precious gift to Faith Harvest Israel and a challenge for us to rise to the occasion and be, for Neela and his family, what his former church had been; and I am sorry to say that we fell flat on our faces and were the poorest sponsor he could have chosen, from the standpoint of viable compensation for his labors!

But Neela was not working for Faith Harvest Israel; he knew that he was working for Yehovaw, the holy, almighty, eternal and self-existent Creator and Lord God over all the universe and that our fellowship was merely a vehicle through whom He was teaching His truth!

So Neela continued to look to Yehovaw for His support in whatever he was doing to advance Yehovaw's kingdom in India! And, since we, too, knew that we were working for Yehovaw, we did manage to agree on enough things and send enough contributions to keep Neela moving in Yehovaw's mighty name, for the blessing of His children in India!

Three years and several convocations held in different places have proven that our mutual faith in Yehovaw has been exactly right! For people in India now know who Yehovaw is and who Faith Harvest Israel are; and the knowledge of that truth has been an eternal blessing for them!

So it is with great pride and satisfaction that I include Neela and his precious family on this website devoted to the Reeves family!

Amen! Alleluia!
