We launched The Odisha Father’s House project in the spring of 2009, and it continues to thrive. At the moment, we have built two spacious family children’s homes – one for boys and another for girls. We have also completed the construction of a Christian school, enabling our children and others from impoverished backgrounds to receive high-quality education. Many of the children who were initially rescued have grown up and graduated from the project. They are now studying in colleges, getting married, finding jobs, and continuing to walk with the Lord. Here is the story of how this project was launched.
In 2007 thousands of Christians suffered persecutions in Orissa. Christian families had to hide in the jungles, in danger from snakes, wild animals and malaria-carrying mosquitos. Many parents and their children died during that time.
We have received a prophetic dream in the night to help children who lost their parents. When we brought the first children from the refugee camps, they had forgotten how to smile. When they saw food, they couldn’t stop eating until they threw up, but then they tried eating again. We got beds for them, but they hid under the beds to sleep. They didn’t know how old they were, and some of them even forgot their names. But great is our God, who wipes away our tears and gives us a hope and a future.
Now these boys are our joy! They study three languages: English, Hindi and their native language Oriya. They’ve become the best students in their school. We extend our gratitude to all the supporters who have helped us over the years in raising these children. As previous groups of children complete the program and graduate, we welcome new orphaned children who are in need of support. We sincerely invite you to consider supporting this project through a monthly donation.
