Dreams in Life - Transformation Stories and Life lessons
 |
| Our Amazing Teens ready for learning important life lessons |
Each
child is different and they face different problems in life. Mostly girls in
the village are severely affected because of closed culture. Neither are they allowed to study
beyond school nor are they allowed work in cities. Eventually, they are married
in their young age.

During
our teen sessions, when we talk to them about “Dreams in Life” from the life of Joseph; they always say they are
not able to dream big or they cannot dream anything beyond their home. We
encouraged and helped them to understand from the life of Joseph “it is God who fulfills the dreams”.
When Dreams
come true:
After our session, we witnessed one of our teen (girl) making a bold move in
joining for work in the city. She is the only graduate in the family and was
selected during campus interview in her college. Though, she will be the only
breadwinner in the family, her family rejected her moving to the city for work.
Our session helped her to understand the importance of knowing God personally
and He will fulfill the dreams of her life. She said “I prayed and talked with my parents again. God worked in their hearts
and now I am moving to fulfill my dreams.” Now she is working in Chennai as
a production manager in a reputed corporate company.
Praise
God for His Miracle!

Shouldering
a Depressed Teen: We meet Sathya (named changed for identity issues); who
was rejected by the school for poor academics in his ninth grade. He became
depressed and emotionally drained. He stopped talking with friends, parents and
family; told them he was not willing to study any longer. His parents were
worried and wanted us to intervene. It was challenging for us; as he was silent
to all our approaches.
We together prayed and
continued to minister him. It was during this time, we invited him to join with
us for a program (exclusive award function
conducted by an NGO for honoring government school kids; who have achieved
great things in life with no support) in Coimbatore. He has never been
outside of his village. It was the first time he travelled far from his village
and stayed away from his home. The program encouraged him greatly; he started
connecting with us closely and came out of his depression. Presently, he is the joyful teen in our
sessions, he has joined a private institution to study part-time and write his
10th board exam.
Pray for Us
Pray for us, as we are working towards
in starting a regular project through Leap High Foundation for these children
in their own village. Reaching them with the power of the Gospel is our
ultimate vision and goal.
Pray for wisdom and strength for both
of us; helping us to envision the journey and walk boldly towards it.
Thank you so
much for joining us in praying for our mission journey. Please do comment and
send us your response. It will be of a great help.
With
love,
Hanni
& Jeba
