Helping the Suffering

Brother Wesley is giving some monthly help to Pavani, mother of Sathish, a 10 year old that your donations are assisting with education. The father was in prison for some time, but now is with the family again. He helps them very little with the expenses. Because of his habits, already they lost their own property and house, and are now in a rented home. Pavani also has back problems, but works when she can. In 2020-21 we had a sponsor who provided tailoring classes for several of our single or married women, Pavani being one of them. She is using that skill which she learned to help provide for her and Sathish. Her mother-in-law is also in the home with them. Pavani has suffered much over the years, and a few years ago took Sathish and left for another town. She felt the Lord wanted her to return, so came back, even though it continues to be difficult. She is a prayerful woman.

Chicken Pox is Spreading

Here are siblings (from left), Varshini (5), Hasini (7) and Eswanth (3). All have chicken pox, which has hit several of our children so far. The only one of these children we help is Hasini, whom we assist with education. She's almost done with her 2nd grade. Pray for the Lord's favor, that this disease will not continue to spread. It's been going on for more than one month now.

Mythilli's 13th Birthday

Pavani and Pavani, wives of Raju & Marthababu, all 4 of them working fulltime with our children's ministry, are giving cake to Mythilli on her 13th birthday in February. No one, including her parents, seem to remember or know the meaning or background of her name. I'm assuming it's a misspelling of Mightily, but am not sure. RHM is assisting her 2 older sisters with education, while her father (an auto rickshaw taxi driver) is paying for Mythilli. Please pray for Mythilli, and for the Pavani on the left (Raju's wife). She is a few months pregnant.

Requesting Your Prayers

Here in the photo is Brother Marthababu praying for Akshaya (16) and her grandmother, whom Akshaya lives with. Akshaya's mother is living, but after being abandoned by Akshaya's biological father, remarried, but with the agreement that the new husband would have no responsibility for Akshaya. This took place when Akshaya was a little girl, at least 9 years or more ago. You've heard the expression, "the good, bad and the ugly"; well, this is some of the ugly that we face in ministry sometimes. Without our knowledge, Akshaya's grandmother arranged a marriage for Akshaya with a distant relative just within the last couple of weeks. Marthababu and Brother Raju (who leads the children's ministry) spent a couple of hours with both of them the other night, trying to counsel and reason with them. The grandmother is having physical problems, so it is difficult for her work as much as she needs to in order to provide for her and Akshaya (that is her reason for doing this). RHM is not currently in a position to try and help them more financially. Actually, the grandmother did the same thing with Akshaya's mother, marrying her to a relative, who ended up cheating her, stealing her property, and then leaving the family. Sadly, the grandmother is not seeking the Lord as she should, or seeking Godly counsel. Please pray for the Lord's will to be done in both of their lives. We have laid down our lives for Akshaya, showing her the love of Christ in the midst of her broken life and feelings of rejection from her mother.

One of Our Families

The mother on the right is Sandhya, her daughters Akshaya (left) and Abhinaya with her, both teenagers. The father is in the home, an electrician. He can care for his family's needs, but does only partially. We are not helping these girls with education, but are helping with extra nutrition for both girls. Both are weak and susceptible to more sicknesses. They seem to be a family (not the father) that is seeking the Lord, especially the mother. Please pray for this family.

Enjoying Their Snacks

Not the best of photos, but this is Sister Mary (right) with the 5 girls who stay in a rented home together. From rent, to snacks, meals, education...everything, your donations are what allows these girls to have a better life with Mary. Of course, the Lord is our ultimate Provider, but most of the time He uses His children to do His work. Below they are having corn on the cob as a snack, something they really enjoy on a periodic basis. Please pray for them.
