Tharasingh
Bavi Thanda Field:
Tharsingh Bavi
Thanda is an important place in the ministry of BDT which is a hub for
different programs. The main activity of
the BDT is the school program and Compassion assisted project.
The Banjara
Baptist High School is one of the important school in the Mandal level having
good structures, ground and teaching staff and achieving Mandal first rank
since many years in SSC examination and not only the first rank but also with
cent percent result. Many a times the
students got cash awards from various organisations for getting mandal

The present scenario:
though school is achieving mandal ranks in SSC and Seventh Class Examinations,
the strength is coming down year after year due to demand for English medium
education. People are ready to spend for
tuition fee and transportation charges for their kids for the same. As we are already anticipated these
expectations from the parents and community we have applied for permission for
English medium school and got the same in the last year itself. There were expected admissions (around 100)
and these children were from distance of 3-5 kms. and parents wanted the school
to provide the
transportation and willing to pay for the same.
And even parents were ready to pay the tuition fee as they have faith on our institution. As we couldn’t provide a regular transportation (our own school bus) the parents withdrew their children from school and admitted them in other schools. With this experience I sincerely request the Board to explore the possibilities of resources to acquire a school bus of 20 seat capacity so that we could restart the English medium and make this school on par with other private schools and also could raise the money to meet at least the staff salaries. At present there Telugu medium and English medium children are 435 studying with 17 teaching staff and two attainders in the school. And 14 children are appearing SSC examination and we are expecting cent percent results. Children are very happy with the new facility which provides the clean and hygienic water.

place. The local Pastor Lalu is actively
working among the congregation and among the parents. The Pastor and the congregants
God willing planning start the construction of the Church building in the place
purchased and donated by one of former staff Mr. Deensha Rajkumar. The congregants are feel they need a place
to worship and fellowship and ready to contribute and requested the cooperation
and help for the same. On this regard I
request you all to support this congregation in constructing the Church
building. Please uphold this cause in
your personal prayers.
This year we re-constructed our heritage shed (first school shed) at Tharasingh Bavi Thanda. the total cost Rs. 61000.00 this fund we generated from local people.

Prayers needs of
this field:
- School Bus

Bothalaparre Thanda Field:
We praise God for this field where we have school project here. Keeping in view of the demand for the English medium, we have taken the permission from the Governament to start the English medium in the year 2009. Since then the school has been converted into English medium. At present there are 85 students and three staff teaching from Nursery to IV standard. On behalf of the BDT Board I express my gratitude to the American Baptist Churches for their contribution of Rs. 394079/- to construct a three room building in addition to the existing building. The new building was dedicated for the Glory of God by the secretary in the presence of Treasurer and local leaders in 2011. The new building is great help to the school as it is mandatory requirement by D.E.O for giving the permission. We have to upgrade the staff and also the number of staff so that we could provide good education to the children.

Kondapur Thanda Field:
The Kondapur
thanda is another important field of BDT where we have good structures to run
school where a school program uses to run till 2009. The school has been withdrawn due to lack of
resources and strict vigil of MEO’s enforcing the government rule of having
compulsory recognition or permission.
Since then the school is converted into a Child Development Centre where
the children come to the centre after school hours to play and do their
homework. A volunteer with a sum of Rs. 800/- is working at this centre under the After School Club program of Seva
Bharat. We are looking for resources to
run this program more effectively so that the children will be benefited in
spiritual and educational aspects which ultimately strengthen the local
Church. We express our thanks to the
Joyce Meyer Ministries for providing bore well at this place which is a great
blessing to the children and the congregation.
Prayer Needs:

Hope of Life Banjara CDC -447:
The Kesamudram
field is the first missionary center visited and blessed by the pioneer
missionaries of BDT and the BIM and so much of investment has done on medical
work. But due to non-availability of the
Medical Officer the work has come down and center became un-used. But by the Grace of God as soon as we got the
Compassion project here the center became and a ray of Hope for hundreds of
children and many communities and the project was named Hope of Life and I am
very much sure that this center became a place of Hope in the name of Jesus
when the project started in the year 2003 with 50 children and at present there
280 children studying.
The Compassion
leaders graciously accepted our request and granted and new project called
Child Survival Program which will take care of child from ‘Zero’ age. This project is started in the year April
2008. There will 50 mother and child
units and as soon as the child grow to the age of four years, the mother will
be withdrawn and the child will be transferred to the Child Development
Centre. So far we have departed 41
mothers and transferred 41 children to CDC project. This program is great blessing to the
communities in transforming the communities.
Through this project so far nine mothers and among them spouses of three
mothers were also taken baptism.
And four mothers
and one mother in-law and one spouse are also getting ready for baptism. The program provides deeper spiritual
nourishment along with other awareness programs which really helping the
mothers to a blessing to their families.
Local Church: As the Holy
Spirit inspired everyone involved in these programs, all the concerned staff of
the CDC, CSP and the local Pastor were decided to host a revival meeting for
all the new believers to give them nourishment on Christian life. It was a great Joy in the Lord to see the
believers from CDC, CSP and Church came very enthusiastically and the Church
was filled with them and it was the first time that the Church filled with believers. We see the harvest of the seeds sowed years
back and the spread of the kingdom of God. We thank Rev. Hanuma Naik for
preaching the word of God on that day. It is decided to have such meetings at
least twice in year to nurture these new believers. We request you all to pray for this Church of
God at Kesamudram. We appreciate the
project staff of CSP, CDC and the local pastor for all their good work.
New structure: We thank
the parents and friends with the small monies they have contributed since three
this structure has come up and this will used for Computer training center.
Prayer Needs of this mission field:
1. We request you to Pray for the Church
and the Pastor
2. Completion of compound wall (partial).
New Hope Banjara CDC-446:2. Completion of compound wall (partial).
Purigutta Thanda
is another field which is located at the outskirts of Hanamkonda where we have
a Compassion assisted project started in the year 2000. The BIM has provided funds to construct a
building for this purpose. This project
is great blessing to the communities of Banjara, Erukala and Christians around.
The grown-up children are actively participating in the Church activities and
supporting the local Pastor. With this
the Church is growing day by day and we hope in a couple of years this Church
will become one of the biggest congregation in Banjara Convention. At present there were 195 registered boys and
89 registered girls in this project. We
are so grateful to the Caruna Bal Vikas for their encouragement providing
special grants of Rs. 346000 for Employable Computer Training Program and Rs.
176000/- for Employable Tailoring and Manufacturing Unit. The Computer training is in progress where
the elder children are undergoing the training. The Tailoring unit is to be
dedicated at an earliest. This unit will
provide training in skill tailoring and find market for these women from
educational institutions and private market.
New Hope Banjara Child Survival Program
CS-49:
We are so
grateful to the Caruna Bal Vikas for their concern for the Banjara people and provided another
Child Survival Program which will provide special care to fifty mother and
child units in physical, socio-emotional and spiritual aspects of both mother
and child. The signing of agreement has
done and the project will come into effect from April 1, we believe that this
project will play a key role in the lives of the communities as it was at
Kesamudram in spreading the Kingdom of God.
Prayers needs:
- Raising of first floor of right side hall as we have small land
- Proper guidance in running the manufacturing unit
Let us praise
God for He has done great things at this place.
The BDT campus has become a hub of different activities. Apart from the
BDT office and the Church, we have a Compassion assisted project known as
Potter’s Wheel Youth Transit Center where all college going children are
transferred to this project from other projects even from other partner
project. But due to various reasons this
YTC has been to phasing out and the Child Development Center is coming in. At
present there are around 100 Young Adults on in YTC program that will leave the
project on planned completion by the end six month and 180 children in
CDC. The CBV officers have kindly gave
permission for 100 new cases in the place of departing children and the forms
have been sent for approval. This project is great blessing to the slum communities
around the BDT campus and we are sure this project will transform these
communities. The project is like an oasis in the desert for these
communities.
The CBV has
provided a grant of Rs. 215000/- towards purchase of machinery under employable
skills training like Industrial Sewing machines, Carpentry machines and tools,
Cell phone training instruments, Computers etc.
Work shop Shed:
With the
contributions of the children and their parents we could construct a work shop
shed in a period of three years for the above vocational training courses. This shed is being used for various
activities and especially for Government Polytechnic program called Community
Polytechnic program.
Prayer needs:
- Completion of the above work shop shed
- Structures to run the CDC program.
It is the first time in the history of the BDT we started working with the government department. After much perusal we got a program called ‘Community Polytechnic Scheme’ in partnership with Government Polytechnic, Warangal in which the training is given in vocational courses like Motor winding, House wiring, Carpentry, Rexene work, DTP, and Medical lab. Technician courses were given to the young people who have unemployed.
