Street Children
God gave a new vision to care for the poor street children. The children from the age 1 to 15 are very pity to see because they are born in the street, living in the street and dying in the street. They don’t have proper food, education, clothes, place to sleep etc and they are abused sexually, mentally and physically. Their future becomes child labor, prostitutes and thugs. From this month we have decided to take them in our care, give them good food, clothes and educate them. So we have decided to rent a hall once in a month and also we have selected 50 pastors and believers who could counsel and teach them what the life is about and teach them gospel. We are going to provide them good food, prizes and clothing on that day. So please pray for all our minisrties.

Please remember our persecuted brothers & sisters in Orissa. The Christian there have been persecuted very badly in 2008. This has been happening in last few months of 2008. There has now been a military presence in that area to calm the unrest. Many believers have lost their houses and belongings. Thousands of Christians have left their belongings and gone into the forests and are suffering without food, clothes & belongings. More than 100 Christians have been killed. Many churches were completely destroyed. Every day the violence is increasing with no reason. We are praying and planning to help to rebuild the church buildings, and make some bore wells in the needy places and establish a children’s home in that area to give good education and food and shelter to the effected children. Through this we can show the love of Christ in Orissa and as a first stage we are planning to support 25 children please pray for this children home Project. To re-build a Church building we need £3000 and to drill a bore-well it costs £1000. Please help us, to help the needy persecuted Christians of Orissa.
