A special video to brighten your day

John,

“Life has to be lived forward but can only be understood backward.”



The great philosopher Kierkegaard said those words. Never have they been truer!



One day soon, you and I will look back on the present challenges presented by COVID-19.



I trust this story below will encourage you within the current challenges …

Since 2010, our Village of Hope in Pune, India has provided a home to a growing number of children — entrusted to our care by desperate mothers trapped in the brothel.



This growing “family” had the burden of finding a new place to lease each and every year due to prejudice against their ministry.



Caring friends like you stepped into the picture. You helped Shared Hope purchase land — and raise enough funds — to build a permanent home for these children in need.



When opposition and bureaucracy thwarted the building of the home, we weren’t deterred!



In November 2018, God miraculously provided a home nearby that was partially under construction. Thanks to the funds already in place from our generous friends and supporters, we were able to purchase the home …



And a few months later, now one year ago — in April 2019 — we celebrated the dedication of the new happy home … with kids, cows, chickens, and goats everywhere!

Fast forward to April 2020. While the Coronavirus threatens India — these little ones are off the streets and safe —



In a beautiful home made possible by your love.



Today, with a “stay at home” order in place by the India government, these children are well provided for: They have fresh milk, eggs, chicken, and vegetables. They are happy and healthy … and wanted to tell you so!



Please watch this brief video of thanks … I hope their smiles light up your heart like they do mine.
