Meet the Children
We would like to express our hearty gratitude to you for helping us to raise these lovely children in the love and fear of the Lord. We want to raise these children as strong Christian witnesses to the world and their communities, winning them to Jesus Christ by showing the goodness of God. We are raising them in the family environment with faith in the Word of God.
We thank you for all the support you have been providing for these children and the solemn effort to meet their needs. Registration of the home is in legal process and papers are already in Government office. Please pray for a swift work to be done by related officials. Thank you!
