Dear Friends,

I want to share a fantastic opportunity that will make a lasting impact: education. Thanks to you, we are making a difference in the lives of many impoverished children in India.

Our Hope Home project shelters, feeds, and educates 125 children. Our children are working hard in school and making excellent grades. We provide education that will prepare them for self-sufficiency. Because of your help through Streams in the Desert International, Inc., they are on the road to becoming nurses, lab techs, and X-ray technologists and fulfilling their dreams. Today, 80 young men and women attend nursing and medical technology school. We also have 45 young children in primary school.

Dear Friends,

As our ministry in India has grown, so has the number of children in our care. We urgently seek assistance purchasing additional beds and blankets for the precious children living in our Hope Home. Winter conditions can be harsh, and some of our children sleep directly on the cold and damp floors. We aim to secure 85 beds and 150 blankets as soon as possible to help them stay warm as winter approaches.

A genuine bed, not just a pad on the floor, can significantly affect these children’s lives. The total cost for this amounts to $7,880. Your generous contribution will bring physical comfort and serve as a sign of God’s love and beacon of hope in their lives.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your continued prayers and support for our brothers and sisters in India. Many of you may have heard that an anti-Christian mob recently attacked our ministry in India. This tragic event left the local Christian community devastated, without a place to worship, and several members severely injured. The children in our ministry are all safe and were not in the building at the time.

Dear Friends,

We come to you with heavy hearts and a sense of deep urgency. The ministry we oversee in India faces unspeakable persecution and violence simply because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Their church was destroyed, and many were injured and required medical help.

Dear Friends,

STREAMS IN THE DESERT INTERNATIONAL, INC. is making a life-changing difference in many lives in India. Several years ago, some of our young women were living on the streets begging for food. Today, they are attending Nursing School. Because of our care and provision, many young men and women are finding a light in the darkness. Some have become teachers and frequently minister on the streets and in tribal communities. Please consider helping us with a donation of any amount to change lives.

THANK YOU!

Dear Friends,

We thank the Lord always for you and your prayers and love.

Our ministry in India continues to grow, and the Hand of God blesses the work daily. We have come to a point in our growth where we need to purchase some land so that the ministries can work together in one place. The Girls and Boys Hope Homes have had many problems with landlords and have been evicted several times. It would be wonderful to have something of our own for safety.

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm

There's a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

MERRY CHRISTMAS from Streams in the Desert and from our India Ministry! The Christmas Celebrations are being held in India daily for the entire month of December. They really know how to celebrate with worship, candle lighting, dancing, and most importantly the message of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The meetings are taking place in the cities and also the villages. Clothing is being given to our Hope Home children, widows, leprous people, some very poor pastors and saris to their wives. Delicious food is also being given to everyone.

Read the latest updates on India regarding Covid, God’s Kingdom expanding, Baptisms, prayer ministry, our children and widows!

Last week in prayer I felt impressed to pray Psalm 91 every day over my family, ministry, friends, and myself.  I know that I am not the only one going through some very difficult  circumstances, and some that have included struggles for life.

An urgent prayer request for on of our beloved widows, Deenamma who was recently diagnosed with throat cancer.

Even in the midst of the awful Covid-19 Pandemic, God is still faithful. Life here is hard right now, but God is still faithful, and is providing even in the midst of the chaos and brokenness.

Please pray for the miraculous provisions that are needed right now.

Please consider supporting us for #Givingtuesday!
