TRANSCRIPT

Mission: IndiaBringing justice to orphans and the oppressed

Learn to do good.Seek justice.

Help the oppressed.Defend the cause of orphans.Fight for the rights of widows.

Isaiah 1:17

The Beauty

An Indian wedding. Yes, it was an arranged marriage.

The Poverty

A church in a village outside Teraputi

These little chests hold all of an orphans earthly

possessions.

A bed outside a home in a remote village

The People

We had the privilege of distributing gifts at Teacher Appreciation Day at God Son

School in Chennai.

God’s Work

Non-Christian children learning about Jesus, a paraplegic receives a modified

wheelchair, women receive sewing machines to help support their family

A wedding on the left, churches above and below

The water was about 12 feet down and 20 feet deep, most can’t swim =

commitment

First drinks from a new well. Clean water saves lives.

New well dedication

God worked on my heart in HUGE ways. Every church we stopped at (often 5-6/ day)

presented us with either flower leis like this one or beautiful shawls. Incredible gifts from people with so little to give.

The Orphans

Only 6 months before we arrived these boys showed up at the Bible College. They had been picked up off the streets in Nepal. Homeless orphans. Now they are like brothers. They are cared,

learning to speak English, and know Jesus.

The Need

Blind young men are often cast out. Considered cursed. Some of these boys live in this small home, others just come a few times a week to learn a trade. Many hear about Jesus for the first time.

A new Christian school under construction in Chennai

A future dormitory to house 100 children: half will be orphans who are supported by

individuals and churches

A ceremony to dedicate the site of the future dorm.

Faith in action.

Someday we will be held accountable for how we spent our days and our resources.

Live a life of love.

Please help us bring justice
