Dear sister,
I thank God for your heart towards the suffering members of His body in India. I saw that appeal from one Pastor Raju from Andhra Pradesh. Any servant of God who appeals for funds for helping the orphanages, poor people, cannot be believed at all. If a person comes with an appeal like this, we should not believe such things. He may send you photographs and reports. I did warn my friends in USA about this scam in India. You can enlist the support of the saints in USA for ministry to the poor saints in India after ascertaining the bonafides of such people. There are evangelical organizations in India who are doing wonderful work in India. Their missionaries are poor saints. Please do not support any individual minister in this nation until and unless you know him personally. Please do not go by what is reported in their websites, etc.
Only after your visiting personally the servants of God in India, you can judge their ministries. In fact I was also deceived by these people. I did visit the church of a servant of God and saw things for myself. Then I stopped helping him financially.
