I wanted to show you a photo of just 2 of our 16 slum kitchens YOUR DONATIONS helped fund in India nearly every day through Pray In Jesus’ Name Ministries.
The COVID crisis is not resolved, unemployment has skyrocketed due to restrictions, and the famine has begun to rival the disease as a real danger to many children in the slums.
That’s why YOU are making a difference, by donating so we can keep sending 16 cooks, 16 pastors, and 16 social workers into 16 of the poorest slums in India, with hot food feeding 800 kids nearly every day in 2021 so far.
We also feed 300 other orphans and children in 12 pastoral literacy centers daily, giving free Bible and reading lessons. (That’s 1,100 kids total fed by your kindness).
Our team coordinator, an Oxford trained social worker just wrote me today:
“What a source of blessing where our Daily Feeding program has saved hundreds of lives. We thank on behalf of poor people for your Team Prayer Support for such a rare program.”
I just wrote a check for $49,359 to cover Oct-Nov-Dec 2021, and this doesn’t include 10 college scholarships we also pay.
Can you pitch in your BEST gift today, either $45 or $100 or even $1000 to help match what others have given?
Christian families threatened by Mob and Police
I rarely email you about this, but your gifts to our charity now directly feed and educate 700 kids in India daily in 16 slum kitchens and 12 orphan centers. But anti-Christian persecution is on the rise, there.
Our charity just helped dig 17 wells in recent months (one is pictured, right–>), for farmers in persecuted families, recently forced to relocate to barren land. I’m told 13 more wells are needed, for just $5,503 US. Can you help?
“Christian persecution is on the rise in India. The latest report reveals a Christian family in the eastern part of the country has been confined to their home for months after a mob of tribal animists repeatedly attacked them for leaving their native religion,” reports CBN.
Morning Star News (MSN) reports local police officials have even threatened to jail the family for breach of the peace.
The animists reportedly had members of the local police department and the media with them when they conducted the first assault on the family earlier this year in Jharkhand state’s Khala village, Garhwa District.
“The mob brought with them the village president, media, and police officers,” Asha Korwa told MSN. “As the media clicked our pictures and videotaped the attack, the police watched as mere spectators. They did not stop the assailants or the media.”
The attack came in the middle of the night. Afterward, the Garhwa police ordered the family not to leave the village, she said.
“Police officers at Garhwa police station summoned my husband to the police station and told him that he has been held responsible for the breach of peace and public tranquility under Section 107 of the Criminal Procedure Code,” Korwa told Morning Star News. “They told him that nobody from my family will step out of the village and that, if necessary, they would take our entire family into custody.”
Police harassed them the following days, she added.
The Garhwa police did not respond to a request for comment from MSN.
The ethnic Korwa villagers have officially ostracized the family, forbidding them to socialize or share food with others in the community, after they were baptized the first week of January.
[Dr. Chaps’ comment: The photos above show some of the 800 kids we feed in our 16 slum kitchens and 12 orphan houses daily. YOU are saving their lives, and we send more than 100% of your designated famine relief funds directly to the Indian pastors feeding them.]
