It will not be long
before Mother Teresa is back!
It is the Lamp in her song
made me see.

For this is true:
HER Lamp alone,
can Light Up the World.
It has always shone.
Be of good hope
Nothing is lost
Slashed is the arm that groped
Babies safe in Gods arm!

Amen.

That is so great Lisa, I'm touched at your children's hearts. You are too blessed indeed. May God heap his blessings upon you and your family.

Chinnam has started a church there in their community. Please pray that God blesses their efforts.

In March there was $350 sent in by a forum member. God bless you for that. There was another $50 given as well.

We're also helping to support a 2nd orphanage but to a lesser extent. I've not written about that one yet. But I wanted you all to be aware of it. God Bless!

song from the chinnam........



oh orphan, dont be afraid
because you are in the hands of the lord
oh fatherless dont be a tail as hopeless
because we have a mighty father.
do you know that..
world people are zero
because they dont have JESUS
we have jesus
that,s why you are precious than angels
you are called children of GOD
your father is in heaven not on the earth.
dont be afraid, dont be afraid, dont be afraid
come to the jesus,come to the jesus,come to the jesus.

Dear Chrio,

I am just a little overwhelmed at the stirring of God in my spirit right now.
Our brother Chinnam extended an invitation to me...and I heard God speak.
I don't know how I missed this before...His timing is perfect. Seeing the
the home their just touched my heart so deeply.

Father,

I lift up all efforts to support this work that you have placed in our midst
for the children of God in India. I lift up to you each and every brother
and sister that it is given to touch this ministry with the gifting you have
placed in them and the sensitivity to answer you calling.

Please bless these that are caring for the children and elderly. May
your hand be a shield about them and may your abundance in all
spiritual things come forth. And with the spiritual abundance may they
experience an increase as they stand if faith before you and lean on
you. Your word says that all our needs shall be met in Christ Jesus.

May financial and material and food come forth from the portals of
heaven and through the family of God, touching the forum and India
as touching heaven. Were two or more are gathered, Lord, you are
in the midst and we stand in agreement for the doctor and his family
as they live their lives selflessly and shine forth the love of Christ.

Jesus thank you for saving grace and mercy. Bless MERCYorphanage.org.
Amen

Dear Chrio,

I sense the stirring of the waters and see gentle waves
lapping on the sands...

I saw this last night also. It is the hovering of the
Spirit of God over the birthing and bringing forth of a
work through His people.

In these days it is easy to see the ugliness of sin,
but it is the face of Jesus I seek. May we see it in
the faces of the orphans as they are loved in Christ.

In Christ Love,
Signet

Today we sent Chinnam his monthly support. It was a little late due to the system being down over the past several days. I've been busy checking on Hurricane ravaged towns for the last 2 days.

David, thank you for tending to this for us..

and Chinnam.. May the Lord bless you richly, with spiritual wisdom and understanding as you teach the ones under your care to know Him who is Faithful.. I ask our heavenly Father to keep His hand of protection on all of you, and may His Spirit, produce much fruit among you all.

Dear Lord, may this little community of believers know you as their provider & protector .. give peace of heart and mind.. and joy that comes from knowing you are among them.

I just noticed this thread.

I'd like to forward this onto some missionaries that are in that part of the world.

Just waiting on a reply. I don't know what the Eurasia missions department is going to say. I didn't realize how sensitive everyone is being due to the attacks of the Hindues until recently.

I'm praying Chinnam.

every one know about this attacks, and the hindu aim to stop christianity growing and they think we give money to the people and call them to the churches ,but we never give money to the any hindu person and never change them by force to christianity,if we do like that ,that is not christianity and the meaning is changed but pastors working for the lord by the great commission spoken by the lord. gospel work in india is not a simple matter and very risk everyday and must care my self, please pray for this.

bro.chinnam naidu

Chinnam sent the following to me, my reply is below:


greetings brother david, today our orphanage house owner died and we are there upto this afternoon and this is very bad news to their children.
the house owners husband died before 20 years and son also died and now she is died and finally her two daughters remained and now the owner son in law is become a our owner now.

we are [christians ] in india burried people when some one die but hindu not like us and they burned the dead body and please see the system of hindu people.


I am sorry to hear this Chinnam. How will this affect you? Why is this bad news for the children?

Tommorrow is Thanksgiving day here in America. We have much to be thankful for. Despite the probability that Our great country has gone against God Almighty and his son Jesus, and his judgement is upon us, He still loves and protects us. Tough times are upon us all. Be ready for increasing trouble of every kind including persecution. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and teach the children, staff and elderly to trust God this way as well. They won't find peace & safety in your faith. Each must trust God for himself. We must walk in holiness and humble & sanctify ourselves continually in the time that remains to be assured of access to the secret place of the Most High God. May God bless & keep us all.



Your brother, David

One of our members asked that I give a running total of donations so that our members can keep track of them. Our month runs from the 10th to the 9th. We send $1,125 between Chinnam's Mercy Orphanage ($850 + $15 fee) and Vijaya's Grace Orphanage ($250 + $10 fee). In the month that just closed, there were $341 in total donations + $350 in special offerings for Grace Orphanage's new blankets and sheets. A total of $380 of the $691 given was from forum members. May God richly bless those who gave.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks David for the update. We appreciate all the hard work that you do here on the forum and taking care of the Orphanage. The Lord bless you my friend!

Love in Christ,
Val

Dear Brothers and Sisters..

I will be posting pictures of children at Mercy Orphanage. I am asking Chinnam to give us the names.. and a little bit of information about
each individual child.. such as how long they have been with you at the orphanage.. how they came to you.. and so forth ..
maybe you can share something special about each child .. their likes and/or dislikes.. their fears? what brings them joy..
.. a need that we can specifically pray for in that child's life.

It is my prayer that those who call them "Christ ones" will seek the Lord in providing not only physical, but spiritual support for these little ones.

Blessings to each of you!
