These are widows and elderly in a village called VV Palem (short name). We had just finished a time of singing, sharing the Word of GOD, prayer and distributing new Christmas dresses in the church (behind the women, to the left). The sister 2nd from the right is the pastor's wife in this particular church. We added her, Sister Dhanamma, to our elderly list, as she has serious health issues (especially back pain). Most all their church members are poor, so the offerings each week help to take care of their basic needs, not much more. But the Lord is faithful, and always takes care of His children somehow.
"And those who know Your Name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You." Psalms 9:10
