Orphanage and Home for Aids Affected Children India | Mission Moment #4

Mission Moment #4 | Orphanage and Home for Aids Affected Children

In the next few weeks we will be focusing on some of the children the home cares for.  All of these stories were provided to me by Simon David, the director of the home.  You can reach him at blessingchild2002@yahoo.com

Pavani lost her father when she was 3 months old. Her grand parents chased the mother and the girl out of the house, because they said we have nothing to do with the child as our own son is no more. Hence Padma and her daughter Pavani had to live alone, and that is when they knocked our door and we kept her with us. Pavani was suffering with terrible fits and God healed her.

This girl is our branch Pastor’s daughter. She was in incubator and Doctors gave up hopes and told only a miracle can save her. When we came to know we went and prayed for her. God heard our prayers and saved this child. Pastor promised God that if she survives I will leave her in our home. That is the reason why she is with us.

Why Start a Home for Aids Affected Children? | Mission Moment #2

As I mentioned in my previous blog, many years ago a Christian minister in India contacted me in regards to helping with children’s ministry.   This was in the early days of email.  Now I receive many such requests and most of them I don’t pursue, but this one seemed special.  I asked him if he would write and tell my why he started the home for Aids Affected Children.  Below is his response.

 

“We have a small hut church in this village. Whenever we conduct the service few children and women used to stay back with us after the service is over and this increased rapidly. When we inquired about them, they would say that they have been chased out by their own family members and their village people because they have AIDS. They would say can you please ask Jesus to heal us or please allow us to stay in the church.

Some mothers wanted to silently kill their daughter by feeding them with paddy husks, (when this goes into the food pipes, it will tear them and they will silently die, without anyone knowing that this a cold blooded murder) because they already have 4 daughters. This moved our hearts, it was then when we went on our knees to Pray for them. Holy Spirit gave us a burden to build a Orphanage for children and shelter for the AIDS affected women.”

Below is the story of one of the children they are caring for.

Pavani lost her father when she was 3 months old. Her grand parents chased the mother and the girl out of the house, because they said we have nothing to do with the child as our own son is no more. Hence Padma and her daughter Pavani had to live alone, and that is when they knocked our door and we kept her with us. Pavani was suffering with terrible fits and God healed her.

Orphanage and Home for Aids Affected Children in India | Mission Moment #1

MISSIONS INDIA

 

If you are considering missions India, you may be interested in the next few blogs.  Many years ago I was contacted by a ministry to children in India.  Over time we communicated until one day the gentleman running the ministry asked if he might translate the gospel book I had done, into Telegu (the language of his area.)  Of course I gave permission.   Later he me a copy of the gospel book he had produced as well as pictures of large groups of children with big smiles on their faces, holding their copy of the book.

In time this gentleman headed up a ministry to Aids Affected Children, and opened a home to support them as well as other orphans.  Over the years I have been sent heart touching stories about the children they care for.  It is my intention in the next several Monday Blogs to include some of their short stories.

I have found the gentleman always to be upright and honest.  There is a church in the United States that sends a team each January to minister at this place.  I will also include a testimonial letter from their pastor as well.

In this day and age, there are many voices calling out for our attention and support, but it is worth the effort to search out authentic mission ministry to children.  The Lord’s heart is longing to reach the hurting and unreached and we all know HE LOVES CHILDREN.
