A CRY FOR HELP
Many appeals will be made, mercy agencies and charities will come and go every year, but the untold damage will be with these people for months if not years. Crops have been wiped out. homes and lively-hoods gone. People will need help to return to rebuild, they don't want to spend years in these relief camps that have been set up and hand outs.
There are many thousands that need on going help, many thousand will have lost their jobs as farms and other businesses have been destroyed.
They need help in many ways and we will give out a kit to help families get back on their feet. We want to help as many as we can, but will do it one family at a time.
THEY NEED YOUR PRAYERS, LOVE AND COMPASSION. Click on the website to get the full story.

GOD IS THE MESSENGER WE CAN ONLY CARRY THE MESSAGE
GOD IS THE HELPER, WE ARE ONLY HIS HANDS HERE ON EARTH
WE ARE HIS DISCIPLES TO DO HIS WILL
GIVE A CHILD A CHANCE IN LIFE, GIVE THEM HOPE.
We ask you please to extend your love to desperately needy children, many live in extreme poverty.
Every day is a life and death struggle for children not strong enough to withstand disease because hunger has weakened their tiny bodies.
Others, who are healthy, have to stay at home because their parents cannot afford the school fees or even the books needed for school.
Your gift will help us to provide a basic education, and for some other necessities such as, clothing, food, medical care, clean drinking water etc.
Life in parts of India is a struggle for anyone, but the life of a child is even harder. Imagine, growing up in a world where you lack the very basics in life, food, clean water, medicine, shelter, and. School., But there is no money for school fees, so you stay home and wait for a miracle.
Life is hard, and yet, most of the world is unaware of the plight of any of the poor children. Growing up anywhere brings its share of problems, but growing up in areas of India is a struggle that is beyond imagination.
Many poor children are fortunate to be still alive at the age of seven or eight; many of their friends have died of things such as malaria, dysentery, malnutrition, and the like.
GIRLS
In many homes, a poor girl, will normally be at home alone with no schooling.. “Why” The answer to that is, a girl does not need school, she only needs to take care of the house, get a husband when she is older, have babies, raise a family, fetch water and cook, so it is believed
The future really does not look bright for these poor children It would be nice to learn how to read and write.
There are only two ways out of the slum and dire poverty in which the poor children live. One is to get an education and the other way is what their mother or aunt is doing, selling herself to men who have money and just might take a young girl as a live in 'girlfriend'.
These poor children are then trapped in this life unless they can get help. Many even try and end their lives to get away from this abuse. With your support we can and will change this for some. The more help we get the more we can do.
ROCK PILE KIDS
In India I have seen children sit for 12 to 14 hours a day on rock piles breaking large rocks down to small stones to fit into a crushing machine to make road building materials. Many are cut with flying rocks. They will spend all they life doing this for a small meal each day, they will work along side their families who in turn have spent all their lives doing the same thing. They just have a little hut near where they work to live in no water, no electric, no tables and chairs and for most not even a bed. This is their life.
Many of their parents have no education and were brought up on this work from childhood, and this is how it is from generation to generation. Thank God we have opened two free schools and one Children’s home so far over there to help some. We pray that God will guide us and help us get more funds to do a lot more and make a impact on this slavery.
PROSTITUTION
Many of the street girls (prostitutes) have been tricked, forced or sold into this wicked trade, and once trapped cannot see a way out of the pain and abuse that many suffer every day. Many try and even manage to end their lives to get away from this pain and abuse.
We are working with other missions that have set up programmes to help these girls. Taking them off the streets and away from this abuse. Giving them new hope and a new beginning. Helping to rehabilitate them into a new life and new found love. We take a number of tiny ones and place in our orphanage.
PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THEM
INDIA FACTS

* Over 500,000 are forced into child prostitution?
* Over 100 million children in India between 6 and 14 years of age are outside the school system and there fore highly likely to be child labourers?
THERE ARE MORE HUNGRY CHILDREN IN INDIA:
New Delhi (capital of India): Despite its bullish economic growth. India has more malnourished and hungry children then sub-Saharan Africa, UNICEF said, and warned about the slow progress nations make in caring for their children. Some 57 million Indian Children or 47 percent under age of five are underweight.
That makes India the house of highest number of malnourished children in the world. Sub-Saharan Africa is better off, where 33 percent of the children are malnourished
1. 40% of India’s population is below the age of 18.
2. Less than half of children between 6 to 14 years of age go to school.
3. About one third of all Children who enrol in grade 1 reach grade 8.
4. 70 in every 1000 children born in India do not see their first birthday; 95 do not see their
fifth birthday.
5. Only 38% of children below the age of 2 are immunised.
6. Acute reparatory infection’s leading cause of child morality 30% followed by diarrhoea.
7. There are about 2 million child sex workers between 5 – 15 years of age.
8. About 500,000 children are forced into this trade every year.
9. 3% of India’s children are mentally or physically challenged.
10. Officially 17 million children in India are employed, 80% of whom are engaged in agricultural work. A study found that children were sent to work by compulsion and not by choice.
11. 19% of children are employed in work as domestic helpers.
12. In nearly 60% of schools there are less than two teachers to teach classes 1 to 5.
13. about 3% of primary school eduction is conducted in open spaces or tents.
14. 50% of Indian children aged between 6 18 do not go to school. More than 50% of girls fail to enrol in school; those that do are likely to drop out by the age of 12.
15. In addition to the deaths of infants and children due to malnourishment and disease,
innumerable and unrecorded number of GIRL children are KILLED within hours of being born while many others are killed in the womb itself. Patriarchal norms, low status of women and preference for male children are the primacy reasons that threaten survival of female children in India.
The alarming fact is that female infanticide or foetuses has increased over the past few decades. While in 1960 there were 979 girls born for every 1000 boys, in 2001 there were only 927 girls for every 1000 boys and still getting worse.
16. Every sixth girl child’s death is due to gender discrimination. 300,000 more girls than boys die every year.
17. Females are victimised for more than males during childhood. One out of every 10 women reported some kind of child sexual abuse during childhood, chiefly by unknown persons.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THESE CHILDREN; PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR THEM IN JESUS NAME. BE GOD’S HANDS AND BETWEEN US REACH OUT TO THE NEEDY HERE.

WHY DID GOD GIVE ME A VISION FOR INDIA ?
By Pastor Dave Burrus
I believe it is because for hundreds of years very few have gone into this country, because of the hash life, because of the fear that their life could come to an end at any time. For some there was no gain because these people are the poorest of the poor. Those that did very few went to the very remote areas.
I believe that He has looked at the state that India was in ,they are His people just like we are or any other part of the world. He was and is sad to see so many of His little children suffering, that He woke some of us up to do something about it.
IN INDIA
Over 740 million live in rural, impoverished villages some can be hundreds of miles from any town and 35% of school-aged children are not attending school.
412 million people have NEVER even heard the name of Jesus and nothing of our true living God.
There are around 330 million objects that these people worship, they are looking anywhere and everywhere for salvation, but until they are told about Jesus, they can never find the real SALVATION.
When we have shown them the way, we need to also show them the love that comes from God, this love is gifts from His people in other countries that have a lot more than they have, as most of these poor people have less than $2 a day to care for the whole family. They need pastors and churches so they can be fed with the Word of God, they need to learn to read and given a bible. Children need schooling so they have hope for the future and learn about our loving God. The children that have lost the parents or thrown onto the streets need loving homes. The leprosy people that have been treated then left to defend for them selves need a helping hand. The very old and sick also need a helping hand. None have any others to turn to apart from people that God sends to help them, and the support He sends from people like you.
This all costs money, please pray, please help if you can., please be an advocate. God bless you, He gave me the vision and in that vision to call out to others for support to fulfil this mission.
RICE
God willing I be going to India September and I want to buy sacks of rice to hand out to the starving .
Let me tell a true story of the time I went to India. It was six visits ago.
I and some other pastors travelled to this village to meet up with another pastor and his family. They prepared a meal for us, I said to them “will you not eat with us” they said “we will eat later”
I found out after we moved on to go and preach at another church some 100 miles on, that this family gave up two days of their food to be able to greet us with a meal when we visited. From then I always made sure I took gifts of food with me on all my visits.
Rice is the main food there and if they can eat at least rice they will live. I want rice for the Children’s home
I want rice for the School, I want rice for many Leprosy families, I want rice for the sick and old folk,
I want rice for the poor pastors and their families and I want rice for those that are on the streets with no one to love or care for them.
A sack of rice is 14 British pounds this is for 49 kilos. Please give 7 kilos at just 2 pounds or a one quarter a sack for 3.50 or half sack at 7 pounds. As we give this out we tell them that it come from people that have love in their hearts and this love comes from a true living God.
On our main page of this web sites we have a CHIP IN please visit and donate some rice. Tell your friends spread the word.
You can also go to our web store and buy and donate there. at:- www.it-is-written.webs.com/apps/webstore or click HERE

Many appeals will be made, mercy agencies and charities will come and go every year, but the untold damage will be with these people for months if not years. Crops have been wiped out. homes and lively-hoods gone. People will need help to return to rebuild, they don't want to spend years in these relief camps that have been set up and hand outs.

I found out after we moved on to go and preach at another church some 100 miles on, that this family gave up two days of their food to be able to greet us with a meal when we visited. From then I always made sure I took gifts of food with me on all my visits.
Rice is the main food there and if they can eat at least rice they will live. I want rice for the Children’s home
I want rice for the School, I want rice for many Leprosy families, I want rice for the sick and old folk,
I want rice for the poor pastors and their families and I want rice for those that are on the streets with no one to love or care for them.
A sack of rice is 14 British pounds this is for 49 kilos. Please give 7 kilos at just 2 pounds or a one quarter a sack for 3.50 or half sack at 7 pounds. As we give this out we tell them that it come from people that have love in their hearts and this love comes from a true living God.
On our main page of this web sites we have a CHIP IN please visit and donate some rice. Tell your friends spread the word.
You can also go to our web store and buy and donate there. at:- www.it-is-written.webs.com/apps/webstore or click HERE
