As we shared previously, we celebrated the birthdays of more than 70 children and youth in 2025, and hope to do the same this year. Our 1st birthday child of 2026 is Jyothi, 3rd girl from the left on the front row. She turned 18. Jyothi's family lives more than 2 hours by bus from our main area of ministry, but Brother Raju tries to go there once a month, sometimes taking other girls if they have some kind of holiday from school. Jyothi's family is one of our poorest, the father having health problems and not able to work. The mother is able to work, but must stay home most of the time with Jyothi's older sister, Pavani, who is mentally impaired. The father also has some impairment, which limits his ability to take care of Pavani. Jyothi's such a precious girl, now in the 11th grade. Her family loves it when we can come to visit them. Please pray for Jyothi and her family.
