God's provision

Dear Friends, 

Warm love and greetings from Little Lights !

We are glad to say that the Lord is sustaining Little Lights by supplying all of their needs , miraculously.  Because of little rain and poor harvest the prices of all food items became four times higher than they were last year. None the less the Lord is giving us enough wisdom to use our money PRAYERFULLY AND CAREFULLY. He is leading us to right places and right people to do purchases for the orphanage. 

Vegetable farmer :
Vegetables became more expensive and we were finding it very difficult to buy enough vegetables for the orphanage. We need 300 kilos of vegetables everyday for the orphanage. A vegetable farmer who lived far from the market had no transportation and he was unable to take his vegetables to market before they were spoiled. We found him in the market and told him we would buy his vegetables right at his door if he could sell them to us for a better price and even half. Since he was paying lot of money for transportation he accepted our offer and we are now buying fresh vegetables from the farmer for half the price. This is a miracle because it is very difficult to find a farmer who would sell his produce without taking it to market.

Eden valley
 
At Eden Valley we planted Spinach, Beans , Ochra, Gourds and other vegetables for the children . Since there was no rain for many months the plants were drying up. We were very much worried because we did not know what to do. When I shared the news with girls , some of them asked me to take them to the farm so that they can pray for rain. We took them to Eden Valley by bus and they all prayed and asked the Lord to send rain.

 
                                               

It was evening and while they were getting ready to leave, we saw dark clouds all over and it began to pour heavily. It rained so heavil y that we could not move out for two hours. The joy of the girls knew no bounds. They shouted for joy and thanked the Lord for answering their prayers.  It was a miracle because we found no rain elsewhere. Eden Valley was enclosed by mountains and it rained within the valley. The rain was a great blessing because, if it had not rained we would have lost all of our vegetable plants. 

Excellence of Little Lights : This year the X class students got a very good percentage of marks in their annual exams conducted by the government. To exceed 500 is considered to be remarkable by the government. At Little Lights seven students both boys and girls scored more than 500 in their exams. They were appreciated by the town officials and the news papers wrote stories about their success.             

Water sources :

Because of continued drought water sources have dried up everywhere and there was a cute shortage of water in our region. We were very much worried because it wouldn't be possible to bring so much of water from outside for the children. We asked all children to pray for water and we are glad to say our bore wells are continuously supplying enough water for the children everyday. We thank the Lord for His mercy. 

Dream fulfilled :

Malathi was born in a Hindu family and her both parents died before she knew them. She was brought to Little Lights when she was a small child. She came to know Jesus at Little Lights and she was praying to Jesus to make her a nurse. But she was always doubtful if she could pass her X class to go to college.


In April she passed her X class with A grade . She could not believe it! She says it was Jesus Who helped her graduate from high school! Now she is studying to be a nurse at our Vocational college and she is happy the Lord has fulfilled her dream.   

The Lord is doing many wonders at Little Lights as we see them happening in the life of every child everyday. Children are blessed with good food, clothing , health and education. They never thought or dreamed that this would happen in their life. They are excited to have found Jesus and they believe Him for every need. They rejoice in the Lord and thank Him for every blessing.

Once again we thank you for your kindness in these hard times and we would like to tell you we are praying for you, your family and your work. God will bless and prosper you .

Best regards
Samuel
