Update on the Projects
As we go around visiting the different projects it is interesting to hear how they are developing.
Christ the Rock Church.
Raj and Vanitha’s sewing classes have moved to a lovely new place, no longer are they cramped into a small room above a house. They are in a nice tiled room with air conditioning 4 times the size of their old place. (The team who were here last year will be able to remember what size the old place was.) It is lovely and cool.
Mount Zion Church
We were unable to visit the Fishing Village we visited last year because it is too dangerous. Sebastian and his team have been stoned when visiting the village. Which just really highlights the problems churches have over here trying to spread their faith.
John has started a small business selling computer equipment and crockery. This is to fund his missionary work. He was asking us to pray for him.
Mrs Sunder Raj had been in the hospital for three days before we arrived. With high Blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. She is looking really well now.
John’s middle brother is now married and expecting their first child. John’s younger sister is engaged to be married.
Shanti’s Clinic
Shanti was able to buy new chairs and a motorbike with the money we left last year.
She was telling us of a girl who attends the clinic and she is now going to college. Shanti and the staff are extremely proud of her she is the first girl to go onto higher education.
She was also telling us of another girl who was being used as a prostitute by her parents. She went to Shanti for help but by the time Shanti notified the police and went to the house to take the girl her family had moved on. Heartbreaking stories
Sangita Orphanage
The Orphanage is doing really well. We went to see the new site for the orphanage it was interesting hearing the vision Paul and Grace have for the orphanage. Seeing the building and the huge area of land they have for extending buildings was exciting. The children will have so much more freedom. The field is in a remote area so no one will be bothered by the noise of the children. It will be safer for them to play outside.

That’s terrible that John and Sebastian have been stoned going into the fishing village. We take so much fro granted and especially our freedom to believe without persecution. Thanks for the updates and the orphanage building looks like it’s coming along well, it’ll be fantastic when it’s finished
Enjoy the rest of your trip and we’ll cya next week.
Take care, love rae

Great to get updates on all projects, is the Martha Clinic that we laid the foundation stone for completely finished. And have you got pictures.
Hi Jackie
The Clinic has not started yet thats why the medical team have rented a house and are carrying out medical care in the Dindigul area. There is still a great need for medical care. We have a leaflet with us to give more information.
