Hopeful Hearts provides financial support to a home for girls in southern India which currently houses more than 30 girls.
Southern India
Hopeful Hearts partner in southern India is a home for girls. The children range in age from 4-18 and operate as one big family. They eat, sleep, clean, work and worship together. The older girls help with assigned chores and assist the younger children with daily needs such as bathing, meal preparation and chores.
Meals are prepared by cooks, but children serve and clean. Clothes are washed by children at rock stations with water raised from the well. To help supply their needs the property supports cows, goats, ducks and chickens. They also grow bananas, tapioca, coffee, pineapple, coconut and spices.
Each summer the ministry conducts Vacation Bible School (VBS) which is an outreach program to the children in the neighboring villages. Total attendance for the summer VBS program is near 1500 and many children give their life to Christ.
Please pray for the ministry in Southern India that they remain faithful to the Gospel as they are often the object of persecution in this largely Hindu and Muslim country.
Prayer Points
- Pray for religious freedom for Christians in India.
