RISE AND BUILD

RISE UP AND BUILD

Dear children of God let us rise and build what  God wants and expected from us to do. Whatever the circumstances may come and whatever  we may face, let us be strong and rise up and build. Nehemiah received the call of God about repairing the wall of Jerusalem. The Lord had sought out for Himself a man after His own heart. God will place His plans in the minds of spiritual leaders and reveal it to them.

Nehemiah was very concern about God’s people, God’s city, and God’s works. He was very sad and distress about the pathetic conditions of the God’s people and city. Nehemiah was a man of action. He had a great capacity to identify with the troubles of others and the ability to do something about their plight. He determined a plan to do God’s works in God’s way with God’s people. Nehemiah was sure that he would not be able to do the work alone so he mobilized people of various kind to attain the goal of repairing the wall as per the command of God.

Within 52 days he achieved a great task of building and repairing the wall of Jerusalem. I am doing God’s great work; so I could not come’ this was his challenging and encouraging words for God’s people and God’s servants. He was very strong and firm in his decision and God’s great works. He did not do any work with his own efforts and with the power of money and authorities; he did with the help of God. He encouraged God’s people about God’s hand was with him and with his people.   At the outset Nehemiah spoke to the Officials, Priests and Nobles. His belief   was that leadership had to be motivated and they need to be lifted in their spirit. He exhorted them; Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem.”

 He did not talk to anyone about what God had put in his heart. Instead he did his homework, secretly at night; he made a survey of the damage and gathered full information. Nehemiah understood that the nobles had a very important role to play   in rebuilding wall. So he exhorted them as they stood together among the ruins.      Nehemiah knew the only way the walls could be built was by mobilising every man and woman and the child in the lead. He encouraged everyone to build the wall in front of their houses.

Nehemiah used the wisdom of God given to him to deal patiently through prayer. This made the enemies to realise that Nehemiah will complete the work with the help of God.    He did not compromise with the enemies and their plots. But he did not dismay or dis courage about the words of the enemies and their plots. He     boldly replied that “I am doing Great work of God, so I won’t come.  He made a covenant with people to follow God’s words and his promises.      He planned and arranged the God’s temple’s duties. When he finished the building of the wall of Jerusalem; he dedicated and consecrated the wall in the name of God, for the Glory of God.

Dear friends we are given responsibility to rise and build the families, societies, churches and governments which are ruin and destroyed. Like Nehemiah we need to bring reformers in families, societies, churches and governments. We must understand the God’s purpose and then motivate and encourage the leaders and the people to make a powerful force. This provides an inspiration about God’s work to accomplish through his people with oneness of heart and oneness of spirit. Nehemiah’s good experience demonstrates how believers accomplish seemingly impossible tasks if they do it together. Today are you ready to do the task of God with spirit of Nehemiah? If so, rise up and build the families, societies, churches and governments. Dear brothers and sisters, if you are blessed by this Nehemiah’s experience, then share with others and send a word to my email ID. revsjc@gmail.com.

PUPPIES FOR SALE.

Puppies for sale

Dear children of God, the world is looking for someone to understand them and care for them. I would like to introduce you a person one who understands you and care for you, that is our Lord Jesus Christ. Caste all your anxieties and cares on Jesus who understands your problems and anxieties and he cares for you. Do not neglect to do well and to understand others with loving heart, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

My son if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, and making your ear attentive wisdom and inclining your heart t to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise` your voice for understanding. If you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord Gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sale them. He painted a sign board advertising the 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy. Master, he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies”.

Well, said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money”. The boy dropped his head for moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. I’ve got thirty one cents. Is that enough to take a look?

Sure, said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. “Here, Dolly!” he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up…., “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like those other dogs would do”.

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself into a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands”.

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy. “How much?” asked the little boy… “No charge,” answered the farmer, “There’s no charge for love”. The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

Dear friends, the world is looking for you to understand others ‘problems and cares and anxieties. Do you have the heart of understanding, care and love? If you have the heart of understanding, care and love for others, today God wants to use you mightily in this desperate world. Let us have the heart of Jesus to move with compassion, love and understanding.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

RESCUER OF PRECIOUS GERMS

           Dear children of God, greetings, our Lord Jesus Christ the rescuer of our precious souls will reward you according to the work each one has done. If we built with gold, silver, precious stone, wood, hay, straw…, the fire will test what sort of work each one of us has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he or she will receive a reward. Jesus is the only foundation that we can build. Let us see and review our works how we built?

Dear friends, I had an opportunity to work and do ministry in Caruniapurm where Amy Carmichael first launched her ministry in South India. Where she built a church, school and home for destitute girls and fallen women and from then she shifted to Donavoor. Today Amy Carmichael memorial church and school are running under Kalanthapanai pastorate.  

        Amy grew up in a big house in Ireland and had lots of fun with her brothers and sisters. But one day her father died, and the family had to move to a big city and a smaller house. They could no longer afford help with the house or garden. She had to help her mother raise the younger children. But that wasn’t too hard. Amy had learned to love God first of all, and she wanted more than anything to know and follow Jesus. She loved His word and believed all His wonderful promises. She wasn't afraid, for she knew that Jesus would be with her always.

           Once, before her father died, she had travelled to big city with her mother. They stopped at a tea-room for lunch. While they were eating, Amy noticed a little girl outside. Her face was dirty and her hair was straggly as she pressed her nose against the window. Her sad eyes looked right into Amy’s. Amy could never forget the poor little girl. So when she was backing home again, she wrote her a special promise. She gave it to God, since she couldn’t deliver it to the poor child. When I grow up and have money, I know what I will do; I’ll build a great big lovely place for little girls like you. Amy didn’t know that one day; God would send her all the way to India to fulfil that promise. Walking home from church one Sunday; something else happened that forever changed her life. She and her two brothers… dressed in their best clothes… were way ahead of the others, when she spotted a poor beggar woman, dressed in tattered old clothes. Her feet were wrapped with strips of rags, now heavy with mud. When Amy and her brothers saw the old woman stagger and almost fall, they hurried to catch up with her. The older boy lifted the bundle off her back, and hung it over her shoulders. The other two each took the woman’s arms and helped her along.

One by one, church members stared at the strange sight as they walked by. Amy felt her face getting hotter as each person from church passed them, especially when one woman hurried her children to the other side of the road to avoid the four of them altogether.

Amy remembered the Good Samaritan story told by our Lord Jesus Christ. A man was going from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him and he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and “bound up his wounds” pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two “denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, “ take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.

          Embarrassed, Amy and her brothers kept their heads down, not even looking at each other and hoping no one important came along and saw them. There was a fountain in the centre of the road, and trying to take her mind off walking along beside the beggar woman, Amy studied it closely. Amy suddenly stopped. Someone was talking to her. She clearly heard a voice say, “Gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw…, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the foundation survives, he will receive a reward”. Amy turned to see who was speaking. There was no one there. But she had heard a voice, plain and clear. Puzzled, she walked on with the old woman on her arm.

          As she did, something felt very different inside. Amy was no longer embarrassed. In fact, she walked with her head held high for all to see. The trio escorted the old woman to where she wanted to go then ran to catch up to their mother. After lunch, Amy went to her room. She knelt down by her bed side. After several hours of praying and thinking, Amy finally decided she knew what the words from the Bible meant her. She wanted them to be found worthwhile and to be seen as gold and silver, not ha and stubble. For another thing, she would never again worry about what people thought of her. If what she was doing was pleasing to God that would be enough for her. If other people, even other Christians, didn't want to walk with beggars, that was their business, but Amy would walk with them.

              Amy was important in God’s eyes. She was able to abolish the practise of devadasi system which held in south part of Tamilnadu. Her love for the poor girls sold to the Temple as deva dasi. She brought the girls to her house to feed them and to educate them to help them to live respectively in the society. She was mother to the Tamil girls and women. Her karuniam and love for the young girls and women brought Donavoor fellowship. Amy Carmichael was a rescuer of precious germs. 

AFTER FORTIES -YOUNG WOMEN.

AFTER FORTIES- YOUNG WOMEN

Dear children of God, today we are going to deal a counseling subject in Christian perspectives. Young women after forties they feel that they are losing something without knowingly. They try to show off well and nothing wrong in their life and feel everything is okay. They live duel life, which one side others exalts, make them a role model but other side of their life is vacuum and empty. Some young women say that I am ok, but others are not ok. Some says that others are ok but I am not ok. When they reach forty and above they feel that they have lost the youngness, happiness and other ultimate enjoyment of family life; it’s because of three enemies they kept inside of their life. 1. Proudness- I know everything.2.Adamant- What I say is right or correct.3. Egoism- No one is right to question me, or correct me. These kind of young women split their personality, family, relationship and their own life. This will cause them hurts and wounds and its consequences. The bible says that the wisest of women builds her house. But folly with her hands tears it down. The women folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing. A gracious woman gets honor; like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman without discretion. An excellent wife who can find? She is more precious than jewels. Charm is deceitful, and the beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

DUEL FACE: - Once a beautiful young woman Greta from my parish around forty five, she came to me get counseling and guidance. She equipped herself as social worker and a member of high society. She had wealth, fame and highly extoled as role model in the society. She said that suffering people and neglected people will come to me for help and guidance. I will be a console to them and they took me as role model. She said that I am happy outwardly but inwardly I feel vacuum and emptiness. I used to cry in my bed, I wet my bed with tears in the night. I suffer with duel face. Outwardly I show the smile and happy face and other side, I hid my original face and I suppress my emotions and feelings. It breaks me.

All the young women have and show the duel faces. All the young women have one child and one adult, one parent, one defender, one wise woman, one folly, one good woman, and one evil and arrogant woman. Why and how is it? We have to go back to the sweet teenage stages and find out the stress where it lies? . This girl, when she was in the higher secondary school, she was good, obedient and smart. But she entered in to the college; she entered in to the dream world and enjoyed life. In dream world she got handsome guy, good job holder, well to do person, jovial and good personality; but in reality she did not get or find the perfect man. She loved that person and she decided to get marry the guy without consulting her parents. When her parents understood, they raised their voices against her love and marriage with that guy but she married and settled. She did not find the perfect man in realistic world and in the family life. She discovered that family life in real day today life faced with difficulty and challenges. So, she divorced him, because she could not cope with him; she wanted to live free. Now she turned backed her own life; she failed utterly, so to hide her inward face she developed hard work to equip her highly in the society. She stood alone to win the world with her outward show up but her inner heart hates her saying that ‘you spoiled your youth and family and Godly fellowship with the God and parents and the husband”. Her inner mind said that you have spoiled fifteen years of your young life. I guided to think about her duel face and its failure, and she said I have taken wrong self-decision and it made me worst. I have divorced my husband, and lost my youth life. I have guided her to take right decision to turn back to God, and live a right life. Now she was happy. Wait for the Lord and keep his ways, and he will exalt you to inherit the land.

THREE ENEMIES: - Another young woman Nita from my parish around forty, highly educated, company owner and well-off person came to me for guidance and counseling.  Her behavior and styled decorated haircut and decent dressing revealed her dignity. But her face was filled with anger and emptiness. I just asked her do you have any friends? Suddenly she said that I have no friends, because I cannot adjust with them. I asked the next question, how is your relationship with your relatives? She said, we have some relatives, but I won’t talk to them, because I don’t have personal relationship, I don’t like them; only my father has. How about your married life? She said that everything went first nice but after that I could not cope with him. so I divorced him, now I am living with my father and I am managing my father’ company. The problem now is my father always poking his nose into my company administration. That I did not like, previously I told my father do not poke into my personal and company administration and matters. Next question is asked, do you love anybody? She said for the past six months I loved a person and soon I am going to marry him. She asked, May I get marry this man? I guided her and said does not haste to get marry him? She asked why? I said, first you have to chase three enemies’ from your life, unless and until you will not succeed. She asked who they are. 1. Proudness-I know everything, I do not like another’ help.2.Adamant – What I say is right or corret.3. Egoism- No one has right to correct me or question me. Because of these three enemies you have shattered down your friendship, relationship, family life. Already you have shattered down your family life now you are going to shatter down your father’ properties and company. Because of your egoism, you will break the next marriage too. Again you will meet the failure in your family life. In 20^thc some familiar and dominated figures kept egoism in their center seat of heart and worshipped it. The world called and exalted them as ‘dream girls’. People went after them and took them as a role model of their life. But soon they ended their life with suicide. Marilyn Monroe was a “Dream Girl” and started search happiness in cine field; but she couldn’t get it. She had divorced her husband and married with Joe the player. This married life also ended with failure. Then she married a writer Arthur Millar. This relationship also ended. Lastly she was searching happiness by addict to drugs and had renewed her relationship with Joe. The marriage day also was fixed; but day before her marriage she ate more sleep pills and drugs and suicide herself. She was after her egoism she collapsed her life.  Now the young women Nita slowly realized her egos and she understood her enemies developed in her and occupied her. She was come forward to get counseling in a right time to realize her faults and wrong decisions.

Dear friends, now a day young people are more attracted by the Medias, internet, fashion shows and new trends. Young girls and young women spent hours together in front of mirrors and beauty parlors. This kind of new trends and fashions are leading to the dream world. They started to live in the dream world and where they wanted to find happiness; they do not want to find happiness in the real living world. When they start to live in the real world; they start to face the reality and problems, then they try to show duel faces. In that once they fail, they are depressed and they start to grow egoism. But egoism fails in their life situations; they are wounded and hurt by their remorse feelings. They try to find a way to get away from this stress and wounds. Now they try to find the lacked happiness, once they could not they end their life.

Jesus is the ‘wound healer’. He came down to this world to heal our wounds and broken hearts and contrite spirits. He came as a Good Samaritan to bind up our wounds, pouring on oil and wine to heal and take care of us. He was wounded and burnished to help to those who undergo with wounded and crushed heart.  He will not despise a broken and contrite heart. If we just come to the wound healer and say lord restore my joy and gladness of my heart, he will do it.

 Dear brothers and sisters, we can heal the deep inner heart wounds by deep sharing. Ministry of sharing or counseling will only dress up the wounds; but Jesus Christ the wound healer will heal us. So let us listen to the word of God which will lead to the wound healer. Others will see and watch our respectful and pure conduct of day today life. So, do not let your adorning be external- the braiding of hair and putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear- but let your adorning be the hidden person of heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quite spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn them, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do well and do not fear anything that is frightening. Let us adorn the fear of the Lord to obey his words. He will heal our wounds and makes us well to say that I am ok and you are ok. This healing will bring joy and happiness into the young women who are in forties. Kindly share this good news to the young people those who are in need of help, and send a word to my email  id. revsjc@gmail.com, revsjc721@gmail.com, revsjc12@hotmail.com, johnchelliah857@yahoo.com.

EMPOWERED AND EMANCIPATED WOMAN- PANDITA RAMABAI

EMPOWERED AND EMANCIPATED WOMAN- PADITHA RAMABAI.

 

Dear children of God, today we are going to admire the service and faith in Christ is found in the life of bandit Ramabai who had hail from the high Brahmin family accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior and Lord. Once she was clutched in the Hindu religious rituals and desperate Brahmin patriotic rules. But when she came to know the truth of Jesus ‘love and care; she became a Christian to help the neglected and fallen women hood.     She was born in the stanch Brahmin family on 1858 23rd April Mangalore near Gangamal hill area. Her father’s name was Anant Shastri Dongre, a chitpavan and mother was Lakshmibai. She engaged in public life and served a selfless service to the motherland and its people. She solemnly declared that, henceforth, she would give her life entirely to the betterment of women.  

Ramabai’s early life: - Ramabai’s parents were stanch Hindu Brahmin learned Vedas, puranas, and Hindu religious sol gas in Sanskrit. They strictly followed and kept religious scares and caste and creeds. Her father and the family lived in Gangamal in a hilly area there completely spend the whole families life by meditation and teachings of puranas and reciting mantras to the people those who come to visit the holy place. They did not allow learning any other languages except Sanskrit. The family of Ramabai spent their whole prosperities by giving away to the sojourners of pilgrims.

 Ramabai’s mother taught her Sanskrit from her childhood. She also became bandit by memorizing and reciting. After they spent their whole prosperities, they became poor, and they need of money to run the family and living. So they started to sojourn to the pilgrims to pilgrims, temple to temples. They recite puranas, Bhagavad-Gita. The people will give some money for their living, and they were depending upon the people who give alms and money in the temples and holy pilgrims. They spend their life 16 years like that. Even then their families were not helped by their gods whom they served. In this condition her father’s eyes were dimed and he became very weak and sick could not earn their living by reciting Sanskrit slogas. There was a great famine hit her family, the tragedy was her father, mother and her elder sister were died expect her younger brother and she. After that her brother and she moved and roamed throughout the country. In1878 they reached Calcutta, from their childhood they were serving and worshiping their gods for their day today help and care for living but they did not get any help or care from their gods. So they were dismayed and anxious about their future. In Calcutta Ramabai recited Bhagavad-Gita and puranas in Sanskrit. High caste Hindus and Brahmins came and appreciate Ramabai and gave her a tittle of honor “Pandita”. [Goddess of learning]

TURNING POINT IN HER LIFE: - Now here in Calcutta she had a contact with great peoples like leader of brahma samaj Mr. Keshub Chandra sen, other Christian leaders. She had a chance to learn Hindu religions main teachings of Upanishads, and Vedas. She could learn and find out the differences and discriminations in the teachings and between day today life practices.  She discovered that woman as classes were worse than demons and that they could never hope for moksha. So she was very much depressed and left faith on Hindu religion and its teachings. She found some fresh truths that were contradict with the teachings and practices of Brahma Samaj. Mr. Sen was very much opposed the child marriage, but he gave his girl child to child marriage.

In that situation her brother Srinivasa Dongre was affected with Cholera and died. Her brother’s last wish was she has to marry Babu Bapin Behari Das Melveri Bengali graduate. He was not a bahramin. In those days a stanch bahramin woman was marrying a non-bahramin man impossible. But the truth was she left alone, without any help. Unfortunately her husband was died after 19 months of married life with Cholera. She became a widow with girl child baby. She was only 24 years old. In this critical situation she came and stayed with a Brahmin family in serampore [chitpavan] she had a chance to read a St. Luke’s Gospel, while her husband was alive. And also she had clarified her questions and doubts about Jesus Christ and his ministries from her husband’s friend Baptist Missionary ISAAC ALEN. She had accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior and she wanted openly to be baptized as Christian. But her husband did not want her to be baptized openly.

REFORMATION IN HER LIFE: - Ramabai read St. John’s Gospel 4^th chapter brought in her great reformation; it because of Christ’s love towards the Samaritan’ woman who was neglected and hated by the society and the village peoples. Jesus’ love revealed him as a son of God that came to love sinners and discriminated people, especially neglected women in the patriotic society. She believed that Christ only can deliver and give respect to the down trodden women in the patriotic Indian society. Jesus’s Godly love towards the oppressed and neglected Samaritan woman reformed her life to do something to the Brahmin women who were oppressed and neglected in Hindu religion and patriotic Hindu and Indian society. She prompted to bring notice of the sufferings and oppressed woman’s condition to the patriotic society. She pointed out the suffering and oppression of those Brahmin women were undergoing in the patriotic Hindu society. She was openly and publically condemning the oppressions and sufferings of the Brahmin women and she wanted to deliver them from the bondages and clutches of patriotic Brahmin society. She started an ARYA MAHILA SAMAJ to bring reformation in the life of the Brahmin women. Many Hindu and patriotic Brahmins started to opposes her reformation. They thought and afraid that her reformatted speech will an end to the Hindu Brahmin patriotic society.

 She preached that entire women must be educated to deliver from the bondage of the Hindu patriotic society. The educations only bring emancipation and empowerment in the life of oppressed and neglected women hood. The Indian government and society must compulsory education to the women hood. So that; these people may find out freedom and deliverance. W.w. Hunter, an English officer was impressed by her past life and her reformation speech; he helped her in the reformation field and published her witness [public testimony] as a small booklet in English. So she got little income and she started to learn English and medical training to help the women hood and the society. She went for medical training to England. Miss. Harford helped her to learn English. When she went to England, she met the former Bombay governor sir Bartle Frere, and she explained the conditions of the deserted and neglected women in Indian society in India. She wrote about Indian women conditions as “THE CRY OF INDIAN WOMEN”. When she visited the home for the women in England; she felt the need a rescue home for the Indian women. She appealed for a “destitute home” to help female victims of oppression. Here for the first time in my life I came to know that something could be done to reclaim the so called fallen women. I had never heard or seen anything of the kind done for this class of women by the Hindus of my own country. She understood that only Jesus Christ can lift up the fallen women and give them a status life to live in the oppressed and patriotic society. She understood Jesus Christ’s love and his concern for the fallen women like Samaritan woman; she submitted her life to His love and concern. She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior and Lord and started to live for him by obeying his words, she and her daughter took baptism in 1883 29^th September.  Her achievements were many:

◾She was an exceptional Sanskrit scholar of her time when women did not have access to basic educational facilities. Recognizing this, she was conferred the title of “Pandita” by Calcutta University.

◾She was a social reformer and defying the caste system, married a Sutra.

◾She established Arya Mahila Samaj in 1882 for the cause of women’s education.

◾In 1896, during a severe famine, she toured the villages of Maharashtra and rescued thousands of outcast children, widows, orphans and other destitute women.

◾She established the Sharada Sadan in 1889 which eventually blossomed into what is known as the Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission.

ORPHANAGES

Neglected and poverty-stricken children find a home, education, and a future at Mukti. Loving families are what God intended for the nurturing of children. Hundreds of children in multiple families (each composed of 12 to 20 girls) named after flowers in India are blooming in Mukti's "garden." The child in this picture along with a twin was abandoned when they were babies. Both were rescued by Mukti and are now healthy adults attending university.

SCHOOLS

India's illiteracy rate is one of the highest in the world. Mukti's schools address this serious problem. Over 1,000 students strain the seams of Mukti's primary and high schools. Nearly three-fourths of the students come from the surrounding villages. Opening its arms to the blind, Mukti also provides a school for the blind. Recently an English-medium school has been started as well.

MEDICAL SERVICES

A large hospital, Krishnabai Memorial Hospital, and medical staff treat thousands of needy people. Teams of medical personnel travel to villages to treat many who are sick, but have no hope of medical help.

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

HOMES FOR THE UNWANTED

Mukti provides a home for widows, outcast, unwed mothers and special needs children. There is extensive vocational training for all the residents, including vocational training for the blind.

◾She translated the Bible into her native language, Marathi, from the original Hebrew and Greek texts.

Dear friends let us dedicate ourselves like Pandita Ramabai to serve the country and the women hood which are in fallen in life, destitute, orphaned, oppressed and marginalized by the patriotic society. Let us build an empowered and emancipated women hood in our Indian society. So our women society may be lifted up like Pandita Ramabai. Let us pray that our Hindu Brahmin women come forward to know the truth of Jesus’ love and care like Mrs. Hama john, Mr. Saruhason. Continually pray for the Hindu Brahmin people to know the truth of Lord Jesus’ love and care.
