Christmas
Celebration (Walking
through Miracles): We walked through miracles each and every day in the
month of December. The Lord is good and he brought right people in our lives to
help about 75 children in and through our Little Transformers Club.
Christmas Dance |
It was our
first Chr istmas Celebration under Little Transformers Children Club. The plan
was to conduct Christmas Program in the village by bringing in all the
villagers and sharing the Good News through Christmas programs performed by
their own children. The children were excited to perform dance, sing Christmas
songs, skits, read scripture and also receive gifts.
Excited kids with their Gifts |
We needed lot
of funds to organize the program and bless the children with Christmas gifts.
We gathered our volunteers and prayed for new door to opens. We shared our
vision to our friends and family; the Lord blessed us every day with new
partners to bless our kids with gifts. We continued to pray for the Lord to
send right individuals to sponsor for program arrangements and food for the
community.
The whole
month, every day we traveled to the villages to meet the children and give them
practice for the programs. There were lot of ups and downs but the Lord was
good and provided everything on time.
Sharing the Good News |
As we planned,
on December 25th 2018; we were able to successfully organize Christmas
Outreach programs in the village. At the right time, the Lord brought people from
the same village to sponsor the program tent and lunch for children and the
villagers. We praised God and were blessed to walk through miracles.
Little Hema
says “Thank you anna and akka for
blessing us with the gifts and also helping us to perform before our parents.
We are proud to show our talents to our family”.
Villagers and Children |
The people in
the village are staunch followers of Hindu faith; worshipping numerous gods and
goddesses. On the other hand, they face caste (a social
status or a hereditary classes of Hindu society, distinguished by relative degrees
of ritual purity or pollution and of social status) based issues,
drug addiction and unemployment among youths and poverty.
Govindappa says “We thank you
for conducting such programs in our village. Most of the children are into bad
habits and away from school. Your involvement will sure transform our children
to better ways and bright future”.

Prayer Request:
· Pray for the construction of our children
club, it is taking time because of lack of funds. The house owner is trying is
level best to finish it by the end of this month January 2020. Though we
dreamed of starting our project in the new space from this New Year; we are
staying strong in Him that it will happen in due time.
· We also praying for raising monthly supporters
for the project. As we are helping the children in daily basis. We are planning
to provide quality teachers and counselors to minister the kids.

they are resourceful for our kids.
Pray
