Children Outreach in India



SUMMARY
Built inside a crime-infested colony, Asha Ghar (House of Hope) Children Club in India ministers to about 50 children from pre-believing families. These children attend various of our skills development workshops regularly. These workshops include guitar classes, basic computer training, literacy classes, and Arts & Crafts. Once a year, Asha Ghar organises a joint birthday celebration for all children since most of them cannot afford one. A number of children have come to Jesus to receive their salvation in Asha Ghar. Many others are learning and growing in their faith and are interceding for the Children Club. Financial support is needed for the continuation of these activities and to reach out to more children with more skills programs and facilities.
In addition to the regular activities in the club, the team runs events such as school retreats, youth camps, summer workshops and children’s conferences through which more than 3000 children and youths are ministered to each year. We praise the Lord for the hundreds of young people who have received their salvation through our outreaches.
