FINDING LOST SOULS
|
One village leader said, "I have never seen anybody offering this many note books for our village kids. Thank you for these notebooks. Thank you for teaching about Jesus and praying for our kids. I believe that Jesus will bless our kids to have good future lives".
We give our deepest thanks to the ICII supporter that made this outreach to the kids possible. Please see the enclosed flyer to learn how you can get involved in our upcoming remote village Christmas gift outreaches for poor kids.
Children's Notebook Outreach
The Lord is touching thousands of children's lives with his love. Independent Church in India's Gospel team goes every week proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching the children in theremote villages the Word of God, Christian songs, and how to pray. An ICII supporter provided 10,000 notebooks and pencils for poor children in the remote villages.

These kids are very happy to receive a notebook for school.

The ICII teams have been giving and will continue to give out notebooks and pencils in dozens of villages. The children are always very happy to receive them. The notebooks all have Bible verses on them. The children's parents are also touched because after the fees required for their children to go to school, many are too poor to even buy them cheap notebooks.By giving out even so small a gift as a notebook and pencil means so much to the poor peopleand best of all it proclaims that Jesus cares.In India, education is very important because only through proper learning can a child have any hope at all to rise above the severe poverty and hardships of normal village life.

A few of the children's parents shared, "We were sad that we couldn't provide notebooks for our kids, since we must work each day just to eat. Thank you for your help with the notebooks".

Receiving notebooks!
|
Here are a few testimonies of what both kids and adults shared how they were touched by this act of love: One child shared, "My father is always drinking alcohol and beats my mother. He won't give any money to us to buy the things we need in our home. When I go to school my teacher will beat me because I never have a notebook. Every time I pray to Jesus, I asked him for the note book. Now He gave me a notebook. Thank you, Jesus!"
