3 More Precious Children

The top photo is a gathering in Sai's home, the boy to the far left at the top of the photo. Sai turned 13 on June 18th. Both parents are alive, but it's a very troubled home, the mother having some mental instability. Helping Sai with his education. His great grandmother is part of our widows ministry. Most of these children are from Muslim families in Sai's neighborhood.
One of the girls in the lower photo is Sirisha (right), who turned 17 on June 23rd. We didn't know it until we had children gathered in Sirisha's home that it was also Shiny's birthday the same day (about 12 years old). Shiny was so happy that she was included in the birthday celebration. Helping Sirisha with her education, now in the 11th grade. Not at this time assisting Shiny because we've hit a limit on how many children we can help at this time. She's also from a poor family, the father a drunkard and not caring for the family properly. 
Thankful for the opportunities to share about JESUS with these beautiful children!

Catching Up on Past Birthdays

The top photo is Swarupa's family, Swarupa turning 18 on June 9th. Her parents  (committed believers) are street sweepers, but the mother had to stop because of various reasons. We are assisting Swarupa and their 14 yr old girl Mahima (right) with their studies, Swarupa in her first year of degree college and Mahima in the 10th grade.
The bottom photo is Shainy and her mother, Shainy turning 12 on June 13th. We're assisting the mother, her husband passing with Covid in 2021. This mother is working in a school, helping the very small children with their needs. Helping both her children with their studies, Srujan (9th) and Shainy (7th). Pray for all these precious people, especially that they will be faithful to the Lord.

Many Birthdays!

Actually, we just get behind on sharing the birthday photos with you. This is Soniya, who turned 13 on the 5th of this month. We have had 4 other birthdays between the 5th and now which we need to share with you. Soniya is with Brother Raju and her 2 little sisters, Divya and Kavya, who both will have birthdays in July. We share these birthdays with you so you can pray for the children, and know a little bit about them. Their Daddy was abusive to the mother for a long time, to the point the mother finally left and came back to her native place, which is where we are involved in ministry. The mother works as a helper with carrying cement or sand for the brick layers. Sometimes she is not in good health. Please pray for Soniya (a tender-hearted girl for the Lord) and for all the children's ministry.

Continue to Pray

Our previous post showed Prasad and Rani with their new baby. Yesterday they went for a checkup and the baby has jaundice. Trusting the Lord for His grace and healing. Jaundice is a normal thing, but the parents are worried. Pray for them also. Photo is the Daddy (Prasad) with the baby boy (no name yet).

Pray for This Precious Baby Boy

Elizabeth Rani and her husband, Prasad, with their little baby boy, born last Monday, June 19th. Rani is generally weak in her body, and at one point (during the 6th month of pregnancy) a doctor was thinking the baby might have a hole in his heart. By Father's grace, Rani was able to have a natural delivery, but the baby has had some fevers and sometimes not going to the bathroom regularly. Trusting the Lord to watch over this little one; appreciate your prayers.

Happy Birthday Kumari!

Yesubabu is giving some cake to his bride, Kumari (which means "daughter") on Kumari's 20th birthday June 3rd. RHM assisted them with wedding expenses and building an extra room for them to live in (they stay with Yesubabu's parents, little sister and his grandmother). Kumari leads the Sunday School classes in their village church. RHM (your donations) is not currently helping this couple, but is assisting Yesubabu's cousins in the same village, Prem Kumari (8) and Vijay Babu (6) whenever they have needs in their life. Pray for Prem Kumari (deaf), Yesubabu & Kumari.

Simple Blessings

A small cost, but for those who suffer with the mosquitoes and other insects coming inside the home, some "mesh" on the windows is a big blessing (you might call them "screens"). This was done recently for one of our widows, her daughter also a widow, but only one of them on our list (the daughter is working). Most people here don't have money for air conditioners, so fans and open windows/doors are the only way to get some fresh or cooler air. For the last month or so, it has been mostly 105 temps and above on a daily basis. Praise the Lord that the temps finally dropped yesterday, periodic rains are here, and it seems that the oppressive summer heat is over for this year (May and early June typically the hottest time of the year here in Andhra Pradesh, India).

Giving Page is Up and Running

We're not sure what was the problem, but after the processing company became aware of it, very quickly they got our donation page up and running again. Praise the Lord. 
 
Below are beautiful children from a village called Thunagunta. It's a little bit of a remote place, but because we have a few widows and elderly there, Brother Wesley is going there to visit them at least a couple of times a month. While the children were on summer holidays from school, they also were joining in the meetings. These are most of their Sunday School children, the Lord putting it on our hearts to get them some Bible storybooks, journals and snacks. It was a special time for these children, who rarely have any opportunity to go anywhere. The girl with the big smile (back row, 2nd from right) is the pastor's daughter and Sunday School teacher. Teja & Keerthi (girls top row, 2nd & 3rd from left) and Rishi (boy on the front row, left side) lost their Daddy more than a year ago from some kind of skin problem, so the Lord has used RHM (donors) to help them and their mother, Sister Latha. If you have a minute, please take some time to pray for these precious children.
