Dear Friends,
I thank God for the privilege to be part of this life-changing and life-imparting ministry among the needy children and other under-privileged people in India. There is so much joy to witness the message of God’s love being shared with the ones who have been deprived of the abundant life. Personally speaking my heart was broken by the desperate plight of millions of children and helpless adults in and around the streets of India. I sensed a strong compulsion of God’s love within my heart to reach out to as many as we can with a helping hand. My desire and prayer is to see the streams of “God’s Grace” flowing in to the dry and needy lives. Letting this “Grace” flow through us, together we can reach millions of abandoned and under-privileged people of our time and bring them all to the love of God.
That is the motivation behind Grace Care Movement. It is a movement of ‘Care’ that stands in the gap to see the ‘Grace’ of God operating in the life of helpless children and other needy people. We follow a principle that we practice – “Love without action is dead”. We carry a slogan and we want to see this happening every day – “Let us bring back the lost Smile”
Did You Know???
- Every three seconds one child dies in India
- 2.3 million Children under the age of five die annually in India, mostly due to malnutrition.
- Over 600 juvenile criminals are arrested every year from each metro city.
- Over 2 million children live in the slums alone, exposed to unimaginable filth, squalor, neglect and abuse.
- Over 18 million children are already victims of child labor under dangerous and harsh working conditions.
- Over 3 million children are already out in the streets, begging around for daily bread. (Statistics from UNICEF & Times of India)
Grace Homes stay as a channel of sharing God’s love with the hurting people around the vast nation of India with a special emphasis on orphans, destitute, street children, widows and the homeless old people. This is my prayer that gracious God may bring in many more like-minded people in to the network of partnership, so that together we can make a difference.
