Dear Brother and Sisters
Greetings from India
May God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
I Praise God for having given this auspicious opportunity to meet you through this letter.
Let me introduce my self and my blessed ministry.
I am Pastor Swarna, 37 years , and wife of Rev B.S.S.Raju founder and president of Gracie Ministries.I am incharge of Gracie orphanage and we have 30 orphan children.
ABOUT GRACIE ORPHAN CHILDREN HOME:
One day we went to one village and we saw a terrible incident, that has changed our hearts and we really cried for that. One family living with their two children beside the road in a small temporarilly hut. They have no permanent house and they just built a shelter for them. This is their job,every day the Parents went to near by city for begging .They earn their livelihood by begging and they live with that money. One day the parents went for begging, while coming back to home they met with a road accident and both were died and hitted vehicle was not identified. The two little children Emmanuel and Ravi of 5 and 7 years old are crying for their parents. When we saw the little children crying for their parents and our hearts were broken and we moved with compassion, what a miserable situation to the little kids in the little age, after burial of their parents we took the 2 little children with us to our house. With these two little children we started the orphan home and named as Gracie Orphan Children Home. Now it reached to 30 children. I strongly say that if we left the two little children in their village then they are become beggars like their parents in the small age. Now I feel very proudly that we have changed their lives and way of living style. I realize that I am nothing without Christ. He really does choose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. I wouldn't have chosen myself, but He chose me. My heart's desire is to be a blessing to the body of Christ and rise up others to carry the Gospel message to the world.
For people living in poverty, malnutrition, poor sanitation, poor immunization practices, and poor hygiene are a way of life. And they can cause a number of infectious, deadly diseases in my country and 'Gracie Ministries' is working to protect the children and families in our care.
Every day, 13 percent of the world’s population goes hungry and 30,000 children die of easily preventable diseases due to malnutrition and lack of adequate medical care. Think you can’t do anything about this?
If God has touched your heart with this information,there are several things you can do:
1.Pray :We really do need your prayer support for the Gracie orphan home and various needs.
2.Give : Please pray and give what you can to help .Gracie orphan home is greatly dependent on the support of churches and individual sponsors.Prayerfully consider and sponsoring a child.
3.Visit : Gracie Ministries would love to arrange and host a short-term team or individual visit .We are always open to qualified medical professionals,Christian Bible teachers,Pastors,Evangelistic teams or everyday loving people who would like to come and see what God is doing in India.
