Widows Ministry

Widows in India are rejected and unloved.  When their husband dies, they are thought to have done something wrong to deserve being left alone.  Oftentimes their families reject them.  The result is that they are alone and sometimes left to die.

My mission friend helped start a ministry a few years ago.  As a result, a local pastor provides a place of refuge and dignity.  The widows are looked after and cared for.  On our trip, we went to visit, love on them and bless.

Two ladies from the Atlanta team gave powerful testimonies on the worth of their lives and the redemptive power of Jesus.  His love is perfect and never rejects.  Amen!

Afterward, we handed out new saris.  We then offered prayer and gave a hearty meal.  In the face of such discrimination and poverty, it is hard to complain.
