Our Youth Ministering to the Elderly

The top photo is Veni (17) sharing with one of the elderly (I think they're both widows in each photo) in the village of VV Palem. The Lord has definitely used the brokenness of Veni's life to bring more of His compassion into her heart for others. I recently asked her to try and smile more in some of the photos, and she immediately responded that it is difficult to smile with all the problems in her family. She's not a pretender, but a sincere girl. The lower photo is Sirisha (20) sitting with another elderly woman. Sirisha also has a tender heart for the Lord, and is a more serious-minded girl, not silly or foolish in her behavior. We're very thankful for what the Lord is doing in the hearts of our precious young people. Please continue to pray for them.

Birthday Girl, and Pavani's Pregnancy

Marthababu and his wife Pavani are full-time workers with our children's ministry, helping us for the last 3 or 4 years. They're awesome! Here they are with Nandini on her 17th birthday earlier this month. She's now in the 12th grade. Marthababu & Pavani have wanted a child for many years, but have not been successful; she miscarried last time, always a heartbreak. Surely they need a miracle from our merciful Father, and we're asking you to pray for one. Please pray for this pregnancy, and also for Nandini. THANK YOU for your concern and prayers!

Co-workers With Christ, At a Young Age

1 Corinthians 3:9, "For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building." Our children in India (who you assist through your giving) have shared testimonies, stories, and sang for the Lord from time to time in meetings. But this is the first time we've taken a group of children on what Brother Raju refers to as a "mission trip". They went to some villages outside of Brother Wesley's town and are doing ministry among the people. Here, Soniya (16, who's had a deep desire to serve the Lord through missionary work since she was 13 or 14) is sharing to a group in a village. Still they are on this trip, and once they return Raju can help me understand what is happening in the photos. Continue to pray for all the precious children we are working with, that holy desires will be fanned within their hearts by the Holy Spirit.

RHM October Newsletter

RHM October Newsletter

In this month's newsletter we share about our Father's Heart for the poor and oppressed who suffer injustice in this world. We also share some prayer needs concerning spiritual battles in the financial arena, and fevers among our children. We also share how we use educational support to tackle the cycle of poverty, and how the Lord is using this ministry to bring more souls into His kingdom (one story about a Muslim family). Please take a few minutes to read.

Below is a family that we're very encouraged about, one by one coming to the Lord, even in the midst of persecution.

Blessed Excursion

Not sure if this falls within the definition of an excursion, but Brother Raju took several girls to visit a family a couple of hours journey away. This family's Dad & daughter are to the far left, the son, mother and an aunt to the far right. We can praise the Lord that all of the youth in this photo, even the youngest girl, have a tender heart for the Lord, and want to serve Him in some way. I think the boy, Kethan, is going to help us some with our website in the days to come. He's studying computer design, etc. in a college now.

Our Beloved Twins

Martha (left) and Mary have been with us since 2021. Amazing the difference 5 years can make! Their family didn't know the Lord, and they were in deep poverty, literally only having cement posts to hold up the asbestos sheet roof, along with one wall. No electricity or running water, and an open bathroom (no roof or door, walls incomplete). The girls mostly stayed with their grandmother nearby in those years. The Dad died years ago in a train accident. Now, both girls are in their 3rd year of nursing college, and both have a bigger desire to use what they are learning in nursing to help the poor in some way in the years ahead. Pray for the fulfillment of those desires He places within their hearts (Psalms 37:4; 2 Thess. 1:11-12). The top photo is the girls looking at the fireworks-type candle on their cake. In the lower photo they are with Brother Raju and other children who came to celebrate with them on their 21st birthday, September 21st.
