The Aged,
Infirmed and Widowed:
B. Esudas' mission has a
number of goals set before him. There is an immediate and
urgent need for the caring of aged, infirmed and widowed in the
various congregations where Esudas works.
Many members of the Lord's
church in India are suffering from extreme poverty. Their
age and infirmities make it impossible to earn a wage so they
are neglected by the population in general. Many are left
to live in thatch and mud huts, some live under the porches of
their in-laws.
These neglected souls are
unable to earn for themselves enough money to provide adequate
nourishment. Esudas is beginning a new work which is aimed
at providing these impoverished members of the Lord's church one
good meal every day in order to help sustain their health.
This new work has begun in
the village of Subbaiahpalem
where there are nine Christians who cannot support themselves
and are neglected and abandoned to survive by whatever means
they can. Plans are
underway to start feeding the aged widows and the infirmed
members in the church of Christ in
Makkenavaripalem. The
necessary funds for this are not available at this time so it is
not possible to begin this work without jeopardizing the work in Subbaiahpalem.
It is the goal of Esudas to
prepare and provide one meal every day for these Christians.
This work was inaugurated on December 16, 2010. We request your prayers as we strive to help meet
the needs of these Christians who are impoverished and in need.
Galatians 6:10
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Matthew 25:35-36, "For
I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked,
and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me".
