As always when he goes to India, Rick stopped by to see the Orphan children we help throughout the year. They always greet visitors with lots of smiles and a short 'program' of their songs. All of them study English in school and can tell their name, age, and class.
Rick says, "I also look forward to preaching at the church where these children attend. It is small and they pack the room wall-to-wall on Sunday. It is always a joy to preach there because the worship is lively to say the least (their singing actually hurt my ears but I didn't mind!) and there is a good Spirit in that place."
There is growing excitement now as new dorms are going up on orphanage property just outside of town. Plans for development of the 2.5 acre tract have long awaited funding, but are now materializing with the generous donation of a Florida businessman who loves children.
Please pray for the completion of these new buildings and for the ongoing development of the ministry. There is still much to be done, as well as the daily needs of the 31 (and growing) orphan children who find a home here. Doubtless there will be more needy kids Samuel will bring in with the added capacity. That means more books and supplies for school, clothing for Christmas, and hungry mouths to feed!
