CHILDREN’S  HOMES
 

 “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”  Rev. 5:13

    The India Children’s Homes are thankful to God for completing 23 years of ministering to the poor and needy, children and youth.  The  Children’s Home in India was set up by Rev. Fred Potter in 1975.  It was Preacher Potter’s vision and burden for the children around the world. 

    The first children's home was opened in 1975 and in 1979,  another home was opened .  Preacher Potter was introduced on the phone to a couple by the way of an acquaintance of Brookside Baptist Church.  He asked if we would like to start a Children’s Home in India.  We were not sure about this and prayed and waited upon the Lord for over one year. In the meanwhile, the Lord laid a burden upon me to serve the children in India.  We informed Preacher Potter by sending him a telegram, telling him that we wanted to serve the Lord in India. 

    We set up the Home in India with seven kids to start with and today by the grace of God he is still blessing.  Most of these children came from broken homes and they were very poor.  God is our help and strength.  He gave us special strength because we worked for more than 18 hours a day for the first ten years. Today hundreds are being fed and taken care of daily.

     The children are usually malnourished and in poor health.  They have to be physically cleaned, clothed and fed.  Then they are served fresh hot meals, good clothes, clean beds and sent to school.  Most importantly the Gospel is preached and they are taught from the Bible.  After five years, we could see the power of the Gospel transforming their lives.  We thank God for the hundreds of children who were exposed to the Gospel, and most of them got saved. 

                                                                    Because of Him.
