Pastor Kanthi from an Indian orphanage wrote to me the following:

All who are with me(Orphan children, Pastors, staff and my family) send you greetings. Give Our greetings to our friends in the faith.

Dear Brother, You know everything about Our Orphanage. From few days we are suffering for the hand to mouth and minimum needs and Orphanage building about this orphanage.

This Orphanage is in rented building. This building owner gave a serious warning to us for "Leave Immediately". Where we are go? Now I am not able, what can I do? Please pray for us.

Remember, Brother Johnson What has happened us. My tears will pour out in a ceaseless stream. I think of it constantly and my spirit is depressed.

For this reason I could be bold enough, as your brother in Christ, to request you to do what should be done.

Receive us in your heart. Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorifying of you. I am filled with comfort you.

Finally I request you all friends and who are encourage us, please pray for us. Brother Johson please send a prayer request to christian forum.

Thanking you Brother Johnson and Cindy Johnson,
Pastor Kanthi.

Beloved Brother Val,

Thank you for your responceble kind reply about orphanage crises and suppocations. Because of my non plus condition. I am suppose to have to which is of facing which was on at wit's end. I request to you to put these matter in you mighty prayers.

Pastor Kanthi.

Pastor Kanthi,

Are you associated with Gospel for Asia (GFA) (www.gfa.org)? If not, maybe the orphanage should be? They run numerous schools throughout India and other Asian countries. I'm sure its founder, K.P. Yohannan would be touched with compassion for the orphanage.

Their principle purpose is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost of your area, through native missionaries, while ministering in Jesus' name to widows, orphans, poor families--those that Jesus ministered to.

Please tell me about the orphanage and its founders. Has it been there long? What principles is it founded upon?

Thanks.

In Christ,

Mike

Hey Mike, Pastor Kanthi sent this to me previously.

Dearly Beloved in Christ,

Greetings in the name of Lord Jesus, I am paying great many thanks to you. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in God sight through Jesus Christ. (Heb 13:21)

My name is Kanthi Sudhakar Golla. I am a pastor and social worker. My age is 30 years. I am conducting the Social Activities and Gospel service, Church Activities in remote Costal surrounding villages from 1999. Now I have an independent, Nondenominational Church.

We thank and praise God that our Lord that our grate compassionate Lord gave me a vision of establishing Mobile Medical camps, Child Labor Schools, Orphanages, and remote mobile clinics since 1999. In this connection we started this Orphanage in January 2005. We thank and praise God that our Lord that our great compassionate, I call to you listen to my cry.

You know about Tsunami disaster in India East coastal area. We are living very close at this area nearly 25kms. Many people died for this Tsunami effect. My eyes are worn out with weeping; my soul is in anguish. So according of our Lord's suggestion I started an Orphanage in this area in January 2005. The area name is *JAGGAMPETA*, East Godavari District, and State of Andhra Pradesh, India. This place is very close from this effected area. We Identified 30 children form this hit. There are 13 girls and 17 boys. Our Lord helps to open this Orphanage. At present I have been maintaining this Orphanage with 30 Orphans. When I found them, they were in very pathetic condition. That is reason, the Bible says "*whoever receive such a little child in my name, receives with me*" Luke 9:48.

We have been providing Cloths, Feed them twice a day and one time Breakfast, Shelter to live, Send them to school and buy Educational Material and also pay the Orphan Children Medical Bills for the Orphans.
For this children home maintenance I depend on Tithes and Offerings of my Church Members and we are collecting small Donations from Friends and generous people. But now the local people are not willing to give the Donations Continuously. In such a condition we are not able, not in a position to feed the Orphan Children. So we are Unable to fulfill their basic needs properly.

In these situations we approach you for your kind Charity and Generosity to wipe out the continual Stream of tears on the Orphan Children tender Cheeks and fill their little bellies wit A little food. The Holy Bible says "*To visit orphans, widows in their affection and to keep one unstained from the World*". James 1:27. For that reason I humbly requesting you and Appealing you please pray and encourage to our Ministry and Orphanage.The river of life orphanage is the registered society.

So I request you to pray for this ORPHANAGE. We hope to hear from you a kind encouraging reply.

Thanking you, God Bless you, Pastor Kanthi.

I received this from Pastor Kanthi this morning:

Beloved Brother,

Thank you very much for your immediate responses in every time. I am
very very happy about you. All your response are very encouraged and
gave strength to me. I feel, you are like my own brother. Thank you
so much.

Today, the house owner came and asked for monies. Once again I request
him" please give few time" like wise. But he did not agree and he is
very serious and angry. Then I showed to your letter, what you wrote
to me. Then he agree and give only 3 days time, that means Wednesday.
So dear brother please pray for my painful situations. What can I do?
Only I am praying to Lord to release in these hardships and pains.

Thanking you Brother,
Pastor Kanthi.

I have received $40.00 from Jagan, the Indian pastor that is staying here with me. The need is for $635. I need to send a Western Union money gram in that amount Wednesday. I'm hesitant to state this, but perhaps someone will be moved to help with this. If you desire to do so, please pm me. Thanks and God bless, David

"Father God we lift up Pastor Kanthi and these children, and the owner of the home. Father God I ask you to touch the owners heart once again, for more time and bless him so that he will be a blessing to these children ....and Father let a miracle happen that the money will come and that you will supply all there needs. This I ask in Jesus name. I ask for which I can not see, but accept by faith that they have received, in Jesus name. Amen."

God Bless Pastor Kanthi <>< marie

This might sound like a stupid question, but can that painting be mailed to India safely? Perhaps a good idea would be to send a disposable camera too, so we can have pictures of it hanging in the orphanage. .



...with the children gathered around, of course.



Ephesians 4:1-7

Yes it can be sent there. I have the address. God bless you all, David
