| Where ever we traveled we have been finding thousands of orphans, destitute single parent children who are uncared, unwanted and totally neglected by the society. Some are from AIDS effected families. They are forced to live on pavements and in some unhygienic places. The particular children between 5 to 14 years of age are often seen picking rags, working in small restaurants as waiters, washing utensils bigger than themselves and begging in all common places such as public parks, bus stations, Railway Stations in Public Market places an so on. Some children often turned to criminals and quite a number of un mature girls are sexually raped and abused and some are sold to brothel houses.
When we compare the life of orphans with other children, their lives are very miserable and filthy, they should get love and care. Their poor condition and hapless vicissitudes reminds us of our responsibilities to rescue them from their vicious circle. The Ministers of Feed My People have studied the conditions and reasons for their situation and decided to rehabilitate at least thousands of orphan children who are dieing in our streets. As a result of day to prayers and efforts, by faith we are able to establish a happy homes (Orphanages) for hapless children with the aim of nurturing our orphan children to develop their lives in a good position and to take care of them in all aspects and to develop their God given abilities to use them for the God sake and for the good of others.
Now children of our happy homes are not feeling that they are orphans. They say JESUS is their father and love is their mother. We take special care of each and every child, by observing their attitudes taste and talents. We develop them spiritually, physically and mentally. Our orphanages provides food, clothing and shelter. We also provide soaps, shampoos, hair oil, Books, Pencils, Bags, Shoes according to their educational standards. These children pray 7 times in a day .
In their leisure time they sit with My Wife Mary Grace and with my daughter Sharon Thomas, with me to discuss their problems, school activities and studies. Every Sundays and in Public Holidays these children go out and distribute Bibles, Tracks, in and around the places where our orphanages are established. At present we have 9 orphanages with 200 orphan children. Since 30 years we have been served 5000 Orphan children.
When they are highly grown up we arranged marriages for them. Before that we are able to trained up them as Drivers, Tailors, Mechanics, Electricians, Microphone operators, Carpenters and so on. For girls we trained up them as Tailors, Special Cooks, Nurses and to run some sorts of self projects to live by themselves with out depending upon others.
