Abhijeet in Hindu language means “one who is victorious, a star”. She certainly lives up to her name. 3 years old and already has faced abuse, and hunger. She was close to death and in much pain. Abijeet is one child we rescued through The INDIAN NEW LIFE MISSION, based in India.<br />
<br />
Her smile melted my heart and as I was told her story I could not help give God thanks for the few Indian Christians that reached out to her. With little money, they took her into the Orphanage, where now she is cared for.<br />
<br />
I now have sponsored Abijeet and for only £14  = $25.00 per month, she is fed, clothed and will attend a full education when she is old enough. I do not get financial funding from any Church, My own income is little. But I made my mind up a long time ago to share what God has blessed me with with the poor. I have not gone hungry, nor my family. I rent my home, and drive a car. My children are all educated and blessed by God. I have lacked nothing,because blesses the sower.<br /> <a href="Http://www.philadelphia33.org">Http://www.philadelphia33.org</a><br />
<br />
Gods burning Love and Passion for the outcast and poor burns deep within my heart, and hopefully can be seen throgh my life and camera lens.<br />
<br />
Abijeet is a shining star and a true testimony of what Love and sharing can do. Please Pray for me, that I can bless many more suffering children like Abijeet. Strengthen my arm in Gods mission to reach the hurting of this world with his love and care. Pray and do what the Lord lays on your heart. You will become richer for it.<br />

But as she saw me she started to laugh adn eventually could not continue as she was in fits of laughter. Even in extreme poverty there is lighter times of fun.<br />

  • Nari_kor-avars Gypsy Girl. Taken in Tamil Nadu State. India.<br />
<br />
It was 6.03am and I was walking around the gypsy camp and from a distance I heard a young girl singing. As I approached She waved and continued to sing. I could tell she was singing a heartfelt Worship song, and Yesu, Jesus was what I recognised as she sang in her native language.<br />
<br />
I was so moved and a tear formed in my eye as she sat there singing unto God. After a few moments, My interpretor sought up with me and explained she was singing “Thank you Jesus for Loving me and I love you”.<br />
<br />
These are extremely poor gypsies and treated as outcasts by almost all in Society. But with God they are no outcasts and he truly loves them.<br />

  • ob 16:18 If I should die, I beg the earth not to cover my cry for justice.<br />
<br />
Taken outside Tunga/Zuga village where we are running a help project, Alice was alone in a dry barren field. She is an orphan and was shivering with a fever. With little food and no medical care, her condition was severe. We did not know at the time she was an orphan until we took her with us to the village.<br />
<br />
In Ungwa/Fada Village the well collapsed in 2007. Now they drink river water, that causes many to suffer from Intestinal worm infection. This kills both Children and adults. There is little food as they have need of tools, seeds fertilizers to grow better quality food.<br />
Alice like many children cry out for someone to love them enough to help them when they are sick, to mother them when they lost their mum, to cloth them and shelter them when they are frightened and lonely. The need a fathers strong arms and smile to comfort them. You can be this to Alice adn many like her. I have seen so many like Alice die in agony, and been unable to help because we had no money to buy medicines or care for them.<br />
<br />
I have dedicated the past 15 years of my life to helping children like Alice. The Philadelphia Mission Charity is set up for this very reason.<br />
We are in need of your Prayers and support so we can continue and expand our mission to help many more Like Alice.<br />
