OM: Touching lives in India |
|
 Mr. and Mrs. Dev* have two sons and a daughter. They were struggling financially and had no peace. While OM India’s men’s team were having a cottage prayer meeting, Mr. and Mrs. Dev joined the meeting and requested prayers. So the team laid hands on them and prayed. A month later Mrs. Dev testified that they now have peace, and financially they are doing better, and they purchased a Bible. They are growing in the knowledge of God and sometimes they join for prayer meetings.
Dilip*, who had earned everything in life, was worried about what will happen to his soul once he dies. Some of the men on the team explained to him from the Word about life after death and God’s judgment, and he was surprised. Then, he acknowledged that Jesus is the only real living God. Now, he and his family are growing in faith. Please pray for both of these families. Pray for the continued impact of OM in India and that more would come to know Christ. *Not their real names. |

 Recently I interacted with our first-ever graduating class students.
I asked, “What are your dreams for the future?” Some students instantly raised their hands and said they wanted to become doctors. A few wanted to become engineers, pilots, and more. They wanted to pursue professions which are lucrative. What a change! Some of these children would have become sweepers or maidservants in elite Indian homes if they had not been given the opportunity to study in our English medium schools. To me this is the true yardstick of the transformational work we are involved in. These children, equipped with the power of knowledge and character, will bring about formidable change in their families and communities. The 13,500 students in our schools and those who will join us in the years to come will dream big -- and their parents and communities will see a brighter flame of hope. |

The Dalit people of India, numbering 250-300 million, are victims of caste-based, socially-sanctioned bigotry. They are denied basic human rights; their children do not go to school. In 2001 the Dalit leadership gave the invited help to give their children an English education in a worldview of dignity and personal worth that serves the whole person and includes community and spiritual development.
