In India, we served in 5 sites: three children’s homes and 2
slum ministries.

| The girls of Peace Home |
Mercy home has about 200 kids; there are two house parents
for all the children.
The 100 plus girls are divided into 8 rooms, with one
caregiver who watches over all of them.
Peace Home has 17 girls all with bright eyes. They are
raised by one 24 year old caregiver with two children of her own.
Eternal Joy Home has about 21 children, with two house
parents and two teen helpers. There are 3 special needs children in this home.
Christ for All is a ministry in the slums that hosts an
after school feeding program for about 100 children. It is run by a married
couple who probably supply the only meal these children eat daily.
Little Tom’s is a school whose primary purpose is to serve
the children in the Muslim slums. It is run by a widow and serves about 100
children.

The images of these 500 plus children I met this week bombard
my mind. The caregiver’s tired eyes and hungry spirits are keeping me awake. I
keep seeing the children dancing and singing. I see the faces of their
caregivers and wonder how they do it all. How can they possible serve all those children?
I am reminded that the harvest is plenty, but the workers
are few. I am reminded that in our weakness, he is strong. I am reminded that
if we ask, he will give us the nations
as inheritance. And I claim his
promises! Tonight I pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers into the
field. Oh Lord, that you would call workers, and that they would obediently
answer.

This is a common theme in all our ministry sites. We need
laborers to defend the weak and the fatherless. Please help me pray.
Wow! What a great blessing to minister and serve the Lord in this way. It's amazing that you can be doing something really meaningful in your life right now. I wish you the best. :D
