Brave Pastor Asks for Help
Dear Friends in Christ,
I have received communication by email from a pastor in southern India. He and his wife are caring for 23 orphan children, and it is very difficult for them to meet the children's basic needs. One of the children also needs significant medical help. He sent me a photograph and medical report. I am looking for someone who can visit them on my behalf, and find a way to help them. If you can do this, please email me. My email address is at the bottom of the page. Also, please keep this family in your prayers.
He writes:

I also received this letter with the photographs:
Dear Beloved well wisher,
My loving greetings to you in the most highly exalted name of our lord Jesus Christ. And my father, God's richest blessings be upon you forever.
I am pastor Ambati Samuel came from a devotive Christian family. By birth I believe in Jesus, and I am existing in the same path. Due to my strong impulse I trained up as a pastor in the year of 1982-84 and I settled in the very noble profession that is in gospel service. Actually I laid my stress on the outreached places. My desire is to carry on the value message of god to all of our interior places. Among this task I properly as sited by my co-gospel workers. Now my task on out reached areas is on cordial and godly lines. You Kindly pray to god in extending of our rask according to him.
And I explained you on the existing conditions of orphan children in India. Here such these orphans are increasing day by day at a rapid rate. Because of their family disorganized conditions in the lapse of their beloved parents, and due to the disaster conditions of natural calamities, these orphans are generation on geometrical progression. Here these groups of victims called as "parking boys." , "Young rashvels", as "poison". Generally parking boys shall pass on their time at public places, like bus stops, railway stations and at some enterprises centers like petrol bunks. They struggled entire day for their owners, where they are accustomed with insufficient food. The young rashvels shall wonder on stress where they are starring for days in a week. The poison shall work in the fields of the landlords. But they are existing with quite Discontent towards their Diane needs, With such background these helpless buds are becoming as habitual criminals. As a mater of fact nowadays in India these victims are becoming as powerful criminals and anti social elements. Lack of proper family treatment, and at the dissatisfied conditions Of their dairy needs, they are mounding like this. Of course it is one of the contemporary problem of our society. On seeing the practical conditions of them every human being shall feel sympathy at them. For sometimes these orphan children are competing with dogs at the dustbins. During the feasts of wealthy people. Here on our territory every person shall glance of his or her bitter and panic conditions, but nobody shall come forward to host them. It is the most disgraceful feature on the humanity in this world. No computers and high technologies are developed are satisfactory ways, but no pity is coming from this sophisticated society towards these helpless victims. Really I pitted much on their existed conditions, and I proposed and planned to start an orphanage for the upliftment of the such helpless children according to the scripture James 1:27.
These are our goals to accomplish in the future by God's help and through the cooperation you. Truly we have dedicated our lives to achieve these goals. We are always trying to live and present a pure sacrificial service for our Lord. We are doing this services very sincerely diligently and faithful beyond our ability. We trust that our God the Father knows our intention and great zeal about our goals of winning souls and promoting the Lord's work. As Paul said "therefore knowing the fear of the Lord; we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God and I hope that we are made manifest in our conscience. I am not again commanding our selves to you may have an answer for those who take pride. In appearance, and not in heart. "2cor 5:11,12. As it is written we are doing his services being just are living very faithfully as his children.
Brother, I want to share in your services to work in our country for our Lord. I will submissive to reasonable suggestions and instructions in any aspects. Please go through this letter and kindly understand the spirit of this letter, and please understand also our zeal and anxiety towards the Lord's work here. Convey our love to all saints there. Waiting eagerly for you're favorably reply.
Yours in His Bonds.
