Celebrating God’s Faithfulness in the Lives of Our Students

After months of scorching summer heat, the rains have arrived, bringing cooler weather and a fresh beginning. Across India, schools and colleges have reopened for the new academic year. This is one of our busiest seasons as we meet with families, review applications, and prayerfully provide scholarships and sponsorships for children and young people who would otherwise be unable to continue their education.

Amid this busy start, we are writing to share some truly heartening updates regarding two students whose health journeys you have faithfully supported through prayers.

Jacob’s journey: Jacob has recovered well from his surgery. He still needs to take daily medicine for his blood and genetic health issues, but he is showing great strength. We were so happy to see him head back to school just last week. Your support for his medical costs has truly been a blessing to him and his family.

We are also grateful to be supporting his sister as she completes the final year of her engineering degree. Your prayers and generous support are helping make it possible for her to finish her studies and look forward to a brighter future.

Sashank’s Milestone: Sashank, who faced a difficult battle with Lymph cancer throughout the past year, is doing remarkably well. We are grateful to share that his chemotherapy was successful. With that hurdle behind him, he has achieved a significant milestone: the successful completion of Grade 10! Looking ahead, we have officially enrolled him in junior college for Grade 11. It is a joy to see him planning for his future after such a challenging year, and this transition would not have been possible without your consistent support for his medical and academic needs.

As we move forward with this new school year, we humbly ask for your prayers. Please pray that God grants us wisdom as we decide how best to support our students. We want to make sure our help reaches those who need it most and that we use our resources in the best way possible.

Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to serve children and families in the villages of India. Your prayers and your gifts are changing their futures.
