Salvation Comes

Posted on by Neighbor Tom

January 22 2009

We have been spending a lot of time in prayer and fasting over the last few days. Sunday was a day of real confession, repentance and turning to God for many of the older girls. The Holy Spirit is clearly working here. Today, groups of girls approached my top programmer asking how they can be saved. He told them the Good News. Several are new creatures in Christ.

Two of the older girls came over to my office tonight and although I have been pretty silent the past few days after losing my voice, I was able to croak out the Gospel. They both received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Praise God. He IS moving here at the Centre. As we continue with our work, please pray for the hundreds of nominal Christian girls at the orphanage. Just because their parents were Christian – even killed for their faith, that doesn’t make their daughters Christian.

It takes a decision on their part. It’s a relationship, not a religion. We started the 40 Days of Purpose 5 days ago. Sunday I present the Gospel to all of the girls at the Centre. PLS PRAY that ears will be opened, hearts drawn to our Savior, and the Spirit will move them to the most important decision of their lives.

After Dinner Waifs at the Michael Job Centre

Walking back from dinner one night both of my hands were suddenly taken up by two little girls. One on each side, they were so small, so very thin, so tiny really they couldn’t have been more than a few pounds each. Huge eyes looked up at me with such happiness to be walking with their Uncle Tom. Find waif in your dictionary and you’ll probably see their pictures. They are recent arrivals from the State of Orissa where much of the Christian persecution is taking place, so they spoke only their native language of Oriea. I didn’t know their […]

The Lazy Clouds of India

Editors note: Written a few years ago. Still very relevant. Do you know about lazy clouds? In parts of India, they are extremely rare.  Here in New Delhi where I’m staying they don’t see them very often.  What are lazy clouds you ask?  J   Fog.   Fog is a cloud too lazy to fly – so it lies on the ground.  It just lies around, luxuriously relaxing – doing nothing much at all. Lazy and not-so-lazy clouds can be beautiful and dangerous at the same time.  Everyone loves the white puffy billows, flying high and riding the winds with joy.  But flying an aircraft into one unprepared is often […]

Graffiti Incident at MJC

Stumbled onto something this morning I thought you would like to see.  We have just installed some lovely standing stone poles for our hibiscus to climb and I noticed some vandalizing activity.  It seems with all we give these girls – graffiti would be the last thing on their minds.  Give a girl a piece of sidewall chalk and you can see from this video you can have severe problems on your hands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bH_0j0CM8I Where there’s graffiti – you can expect gang activity next, can’t you?  I think that’s what we’re in store for here in the future – gangs […]

Back In The United States

Editors Note: Once again, a few years ago but valid still I took my family to see ‘Behold the Lamb’ yesterday at the Sight and Sound Theater in Lancaster, PA. It was a great play by the way. I highly recommend it. A nice gentleman from New England was sitting next to me. We got to talking (not a hard thing for me) and our conversation came around to what I had been doing at the Michael Job Center for Orphan Girls during the last couple of months. I’ve been thinking about that – what I’ve REALLY been doing there […]
