Tsunami Education Project Ministry to students in Tondo, Philippines Education of village children by VMM Ministry in Karnataka

 

  

Tsunami Education Project

   

When the Tsunami hit India there was much devastation.  Roy and Ponna and their students from SEMI identified the urgent need for children to be helped back into education.  Through the kindness of people such as yourselves we were able to raise enough money to send 160 children back to school in 2005. Click here for the details of this very successful appeal. The wonderful thing is that not only have we helped the children and parents by this act of Christian love, but it has meant that people in non-Christian areas have seen the love of God at work and have responded positively to this. 

  

We would like to thank everyone who responded to the 2006 appeal and enabled us to send  £2800 out to help the existing students and 100 new ones.

 

Roy writes:

"We praise the Lord for your donation send to us, the less and plenty in sum , for the tsunami education project. We are very happy to inform you that help given by you was a comfort and protection to the children and to their parents. It helped us to go with true gospel among them while some other religious workers where working. Brothers Clement and Shiju who are our staff workers are doing a splendid work there with the great burden of souls.

   

The work among these people is much risky. In the days of heavy rain and in sunshine they have to travel a long distance by suffering such inconveniences when they reach the spot to work, In addition to such suffering they have to face the obstacles and persecution from the workers of  other religions.

  

In the midst of all these difficulties the work here is progressing. The main attraction is Sunday school among children. We anticipate the SEMI will have a strong worshiping centre here. Dear friends please remember this work in your prayer."

   

Village Missionary Movement - Village Bible Schools

     

VMM works in India, reaching out to rural villages with the love of God. Two of their important aims are to lead rural children to Jesus Christ and to help children achieve their potential by assistance with education. 

A key activity is when teams go out into villages during school holidays and run Village Bible Schools. These have proven to be wonderfully popular and have opened many doors to having  good reactions from parents and village leaders.

    

Just £20 enables a week long school to be undertaken! AMEN sponsored 40 villages this year - enabling around 2000 children to hear the Gospel - most for the first time

Ministry In N. Karnataka

   

Brother Joy and his wife Ammini completed their training in SEMI and  have now moved to the Northern parts of Karnataka in India. He has got a great burden for these people where they found no church or missionary in large area. 

   

So he got an idea while praying to reach out to these people by showing love to the local poor children. He collected street child beggars, invited them to his tiny rented house, and treated them as his own children. Now there are 12 of them with him.    

   

Through this many people have now responded by accepting Jesus as their Saviour while seeing the great love of God flow on them.

 

Please pray that these children will be safe and touched by the love they are experiencing. We pray that they will find Jesus as their Saviour and that one day they become the missionaries in India. At present SEMI is helping them financially in a small way. Please pray for more of God’s provision for these children.
