Serving in India


Recently we were able to open a small orphanage in India. What a blessing it is to serve others! I have learned that there are thousands of orphans living on the streets, just surviving day by day the best they can. Pure and undefiled religion is to take care of orphans and widows and to stay unpoluted from the world. The day that the home opened, a father came by and asked our director to take five of his seven kids because he could not feed them any more. He actually knelt down and grabbed her feet as he pleaded with her for help. The need is great!
I am so proud of our congregation as they have cooperated to fund this project. Their passion for others is evident through their generosity. This is Sudheera, she is feeding some street children "lemon rice". Jesus said that there is a reward for the one who offers a glass of water to one thirsty. There truly is joy in serving others.

    I just want to say thank you for allowing us to help these children. I have always wanted to donate to help the children of the world, however, hesitated to give money to people I felt were going to use it for personal usage. I think it's a great idea to pick up an offering every month for God's children. Again Thank You for being a great Pastor.
