“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the widows and orphans in their distress…” (James 1:27).
Care for Homeless Children: Jesus followers Ministries aims to relieve poverty and hardship among the orphan children through the provision of food, shelter, and education with some vocational training. The place where JFM wants to start the Orphanage is near the banks of river Godavari. Which adds pleasant, clean and green, healthy environment. We are planning to buy a land in the village to provide better accommodation.
We have children hailing from poor and needy backgrounds with either no mother or no father, or with no parents, or with poor parents if they are alive. We have children from Christian and Hindu backgrounds. We want to see the poor and needy children from different caste backgrounds raised in a casteless and Christian Home. Our vision is to see children taken off the streets and out of the slums and put into a loving and caring environment where the love of Jesus is shown to them, along with the day-to-day basic items that they require to live.
Our desire is to see our current home increase and for the new home to have a capacity for more children. We aim to bring hope to as many needy children as possible by providing food, clothing, and education, and introducing them to Jesus Christ. As we in the West, enjoy good food, clothes, and home comforts, so many in India will never know anything but poverty.
They lack the basic needs that most of us enjoy; they come from violent and broken homes, perhaps second marriages where the mother has been burnt to death, the husband demanding further dowry from the wife’s family to his desire of alcoholism, children from the first marriage are deprived of the basic needs are beaten up & starved. Some are forced from a young age to work and earn money, a few are influenced by peer pressure, and some are orphans fighting a daily battle to survive.
Boys unable to tolerate the daily beatings and dysfunctional family life, run away and become a part to live their life’s on streets. Girls are forced to look after younger family members and even have to beg for their own survival and that of the younger child. They are treated as slaves in the home and many are forced into prostitution at a very early age.
Your participation in the Child Sponsor program will help bring new life and hope to an orphan in need. Won’t you partner with the Jesus followers Ministries in supporting an orphan.
Educational program :
In India, child labor is still a major problem, as many parents do not have the means to send their children for basic education. Jesus follower’s ministries have plans for Village children to have a good basic education and come up in life. We believe that the Christian values taught brings stability to their lives and the contact can also lead their parents into the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The children are the future of India.
