Brother Samuel Joshua phoned me from a place I know well in India – Rajahmundry and I am so pleased this ministry is part of the network. His E Mail and pictures say it all!
My Dear Beloved Bro David Griffiths,
Greetings in the most precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am so glad to see your website and I agree to join your ministry as the
Holy Spirit led me to call you. I thank the Lord to give us a wonderful
communication. Praise God!
I am so glad and encouraged by your website and I am glad to inform you
about our ministry and activities. Before giving this description, I live in
Rajahmundry where my father in law (slept in Lord) had an orphanage and
looking after it as well as I have a ministry of church planting and also
orphanage at Jangareddigudem and please do pray and encourage our ministry
with every possible way you can. I am so happy that you had been to
Rajahmundry 15 years back and see the Holy Spirit meeting us again and now
you can imagine you can be to Rajahmundry by 1 hour plane, previously you
took a 10 hours train.
Praise God. WE have 54 churches in villages and also an orphanage at
Jangareddigudem. Hope Children's Home and here is our description of our
ministry.
THE PAST HISTORY
The Hope Children's Home was established in 1996 following one of the
most severe cyclones in the area after several decades. Thousands lost
their lives and many children were made orphans through the tragedy. We took
into our home 26 children at that time that had lost their parents during
the divesting floods. The Children's home was born. Since the start of the
home many poor and destitute children have been helped both on short term
and long-term bases. Only the needy and deserving cases can be taken in due
to lack of room and facilities. The Home is run as an extended family. All
the children are being brought up in the Christian tradition, with strong
moral standards taught and maintained. It is in the junction of a village
called Jangareddigudem.
THE PRESENT POSITION
There are currently 40 children being cared for. Due to lack of local
support and donor supports we are facing great hardships and these
children are provided with shelter, food, clothing and a basic education at
a local school. Medical attention is given as and when required. The happy
atmosphere and the warm appreciation of the children for the little they do
have cannot hide the great need there is for improvement. So as such we
approach for furtherance and of help and support which will uplift us and
make the children more feel and comfort. Please do have a soft corner in
your heart to help the least of these as we save these children to win them
for Christ. You are even welcome to visit our orphanage and stay with our
children and show your compassion and love towards these orphaned and
abandoned children.
Apart from these orphanages, we do gospel
work and spread the word of God in remote villages and we have some
co-workers under our ministry and please do pray for these pastors and
also for the work of Lord going in midst of pagan worshippers and Hindu
masses in India. We also plant churches in unreached villages where there is
no Christian witness and presently no church under the banner Plant A Church
A Day.
As means of Evangelism, we dig borewells as the Christian communities face
water problem due to the pagan people in the villages. For details on this
Dig A Borewell Project, please email us for more details. We approach your
desk for guidance, encouragement, prayers and financial support for the
furtherance of our ministry and orphanage. We do pray for you and for your
dear family in all our prayers. Any suggestions for the improvement of our
orphanage are welcome. If you need any information and pictures of our
children home I will send you immediately.
Thank u for your love offering…for God loveth a cheerful giver….
Awaiting for your favorable email & support.
Please do pray for us and for
our work.
 In His Service,
