TANAKU(south India)

            

It’s been a really good month for me and I would like to thank you guys for your prayers. I really am having a great time ministering at where I am and I hope this month blog will be an encouragement to you and I. In my last blog I had shared about my team and the ministry that we were doing, such as reaching out to boys prison and ministering in a children’s home. Well after ministering with the boys prison I and the team head out to another town (tanaku) and we ministered to a children’s home. We had a grand welcoming and I have never seen or been to such an amazing welcoming by the local community. They made us ride on cycle rickshaws and in five minutes there were people playing loud drums and firing fire crackers and welcoming us. We danced with the local people and headed towards the children’s home.

having game time with the kids since the staff were very strict.

   We ministered to the children for eight days and every day we had programs with the kids and the staffs. The children home is being sponsored by a foreign organization and some of the members were part of the organization. I volunteered myself to help the team since they asked me when I was doing ministering in Nepal. Every program we did with the kids, we taught them about Jesus and also encouraged them and did a lot of prayer. The children home has been running for one year and they have been having a lot of problem from the land lord and neighbors. The children couldn’t play outside because the neighbors complained to the police. Since the town is still under the cast system and the man in charge of the children’s home belongs to the lower cast, they don’t have much freedom when there is a conflict with the higher cast. There was a lot of need in the children’s home so I and my friend decided to come back and help.

took the kids to the beach and had some teachings and had lots of fun.

   

           After ministering in the children’s home we flew to Nepal and attended our friends wedding and stayed in Nepal for a week. I and my friend (Ricardo) had to come up with some ideas to help the children’s home that we were ministering to. So we decided to fly to Bangalore and talk with my mom (Tammyma) and get some advice and help. I and my friend got lot of good ideas and proper structure to run a children’s home successfully.

   I and my friend went back to tanaku to be with the children’s home. So for the last two and a half week we have been helping the children and the staff. We have talked about child safety policy and what is the requirement of the parents and also trained the staff to be a better staff. In few days we will be going to another town to minister with other children’s home and also boys’ prison. We are excited and ready for the next trip to other place and please do keep us in your prayers. Thank you.
