ABOUT GRACE ORPHANAGE
Friendship House is an orphanage
in India in which forty young
children have been rescued from
a life of begging and prostitution
on the streets of Narsapur.
It is the work that Y. Hayagreev Suri has
committed his life to.
He is serving these children
because he himself
has experienced a life of
begging and abuse in India.
Y. Hayagreev Suri writes,
"I want to give a small testimony about myself.
I have never seen the love of Mother or Father
and they hate me now because I spare most of my
time to the Lord’’s work. So at the age of ten I
left home and started begging. I felt bad that I
had no relation to look after me. Even though I
was begging to feed myself, the money I got was
never enough. I think that you know the position
of our country, as it is very poor country.
This begging continued several years. After five
years on the streets a man who saw my position
said I could stay with him and work as house
worker.
I said if you feed me two times per day I will
work as house worker. He accepted me and took
me home. The day I went to his home he started
giving heavy duties, that is cleaning lavatories,
washing clothes and carrying sand rocks, washing
dishes and cleaning house. He used me very badly.
He knew that I had no relations to care about me
and that is why he used to trouble me so much.
That time my age is 15. He never fed me properly
and sometimes he used to say there is no food
today. My owner has 4 children, they speak good
English. I used to do massage to legs, head,
hands, backbone applying oil and pressing body
parts. While doing that I used to talk unknown
English words by hearing them.
I learned some English this way. I used to do
massage at night times, and learned some Bible
words. From that moment I started praying to Lord
to give me a job to do. That is, the orphans who
are like me must not waste their lives
in darkness or by begging.
I started praying to get blessing of Lord. For
this opportunity. I started fasting for 40 days.
Even though God did not talk with me during this
fast, I continued it and at the 42nd day God told
me to continue my prayers and work for orphans.
From that day I started going to every church and
learn more Bible words. I went to backward
villages and prayed in every house and tell
some Bible words. By that prayer they used to
give me some gifts of money to feed my orphans.
I took a small house for rent and gathered 40
orphans and fed them with what I had. So I once
again started fasting and praying to God.
(The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever.
The LORD shall rejoice in his works.
Psalm 104:31)
My orphans are with torn clothes and with hungry
stomachs. My Heavenly Father will talk with you
about my bad position. I have told you my
testimony and am asking you to remember my
problems and help me to do more ministry.
If possible send me some clothes and money
for the orphans so that they will not go to bed
hungry. It’’s hard for me to hear their cries at
night. Please pray for me and for my need. The
need is urgent if I am to continue keeping these
precious children. If I fail they will return to
the streets. I cannot do it alone. Please help
me. (James 1:27)
Hayagreev Suri.
Dr. Samuel Suri D.D. of City on the Hill Ministries writes,
"Y. HAYAGREEV SURI is genuine and he is very
honest to his work, because whenever I go on my
way I see him struggling for children.
He stays in rented house with orphans.
One day all the children were standing outside
and crying, so I asked one of the orphans what
was happening; the orphan said that their
house owner is beating them with stick because
the rent was not paid. Then I asked, "where is
Haragreev Suri" and the children said he went out
in search of food for them. I know him well
because I often take him with me for gospel
outreach. He is a very poor man who has given his
life to serving the Lord. I also know that he is
suffering to feed these orphans. He has 40
orphans.
For one orphan per month, he needs US$25.(£15)
This is the minimum amount for one orphan.
So, whatever God tells you to give to share his
burden, please respond and help him".
We at Premier Network Ministries have adopted
these children and need to raise
US$150,000
to buy a house and pay for food, clothing and
education. I am asking you to stretch your faith
just a little bit more and include these in
particular children in your giving. Just a little
will do so much if we all join together.
Geoff’’s JamJar Project.
Will you clean out a used Jam Jar and place
it on the table at mealtimes to remind you of
these precious children. Then, every time you
eat, out of thankfulness and gratitude for your
provision, put a few coins in the jar. When full,
send the total to our project. You will never
miss the coins but for every dime you give,
another child will be fed!
Thank you!
