GCH SEMINAR

First time ever we had one day

seminar for our children at GCH

premise. Sister Reka Stephen conducted with

burden and commitment. GCH manager Ra-

chel Ellis got feedback from the children and

majority of the kids committed to become a

servant of God. It was a moving and awesome

response. Their hearts are burdened to carry

the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the world. One

of the boys named Ajith said that he wants to

become like our missions director Sam Ellis in

ministry. 3 boys are aspiring to work for the

Indian government. We are proud of them as

we need God’s people in all the departments

of our nation. The children were motivated

and encouraged through this seminar.

Ajith and Boobalan (2 of our GCH boys)

visited their home for the weekend. During

that time they shared the Gospel to their

Grand Father and led him into Christ. He is

now attending church every Sunday. Praise be

to God.

GCH kids had a day out and they went to the

local park with the staff, accompanied by

Shiny Ellis. They had a great time and closed

the day with an ice cream each.

They are already planning their next day out to

the local airport tour where they can see the

landing and the take-off of the plane.

OH ITS RAINING!

For the past 6 weeks there has been

heavy rain in India. Therefore we bought

all our GCH children new rain coats to save them

from a rainy day. The boys were really happy as

they have never worn a rain coat in their life ever

before.

We thank God for their happiness, because those

smiles on their faces is what keeps us going.

URGENT FINANCIAL NEED!!!

In South India for the past 6 weeks there has been

heavy rain. In certain parts of the state there has also

been floods.

In GCH campus the land level is very low compared

to the mud road level. As there is no proper rain

water drainage facilities in the suburbs of India, the

rain water started to gather right in front of the GCH

house. As it has been continuously raining it started

to cause a flood. In addition since the water is stag-

nant in front of the house, it increased mosquitos

coming into the GCH house.

Therefore due to this situation we are currently in a

urgent need to level up the front of the house before

the next rain. To finish this project we need

1,725 EURO 1,455 GBP

2,255 in USD

This money will pay for 1 truck of white sand, 3

trucks of red sand, stones and 75 cement bag to

rebuild the compound wall and the main iron gate for

the GCH house. So please help us to raise this fund

as much as possible and as soon as possible. If you

want to make a donation please get in touch through

the below contact details.
