Finding Real Riches and the Abundant Life Greetings to you in Jesus name! Hello from all of our staff, children and pastors in India. As you read this, we pray you feel the joy that surrounds our orphanages, widows homes, and churches. It is always a little surprising to feel such overwhelming joy by people with such minimal possessions. Most often, the children shower visitors with flower petals as they sing songs of gladness to God for all He has done. Their praises come not from those with full houses or bank accounts. Their praises stem from the riches of joy and gratefulness God has placed in their hearts in spite of their poverty. Would that the people of America know such riches! Would they know such an abundant life! I wish each of you could experience, just for an hour, the power of joy as it explodes in songs, shouts, smiles and laughter in these little ones. I would have you experience this as it is your support that has made all this possible. When you take a child into your heart and sponsor them, you redeem a life destined to end at about age 15. With your help, these children survive into adulthood and become the future Christian lights shining among a people in darkness. I pray that each of you become rich in the joy of Jesus this coming year. It is a treasure the world can never touch or take away.
