How Concerned Are we about the Orphaned And Destitute?

Orphans are children whose parents are deceased or otherwise unable to care for them. Parents, and sometimes grandparents, are legally responsible for supporting children, but in the absence of these or other relatives willing to care for the children, they become a ward of the state. According to the statistic of UNICIF India statistic, in Indian alone there are about 25,700,000 orphaned due to many cause and reasons.

The Facts About Indian Orphans:

Every Day:5,760 Children become Orphans
To-day in the World: 143,000,000 spend an average of 10 years in an orphanage or foster home.

Approximately: 250,000 children are adopted annually.
Every day: 38,493 Children age out.
Every Year: 14,050,000 children grow up as orphans and age out of the system.

Approximately there are 12.44 million orphans, and close to 40 million destitute children live in India.
Each year, about a million new orphans are added to the society in India.
Little over 1,000 recorded inter country adoptions are taking place every year.

The Christian Perspective of Orphans and widows:

Be a Provider

When thou gather-est the grapes of your vineyard, thou shall not glean it afterward:it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,and for the widow. (Deuteronomy 24:21)

Advocate:

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)

Be a faultless worshiper

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James.1:27)

God’s protection over Orphans:

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry (Ex.22:22-23)
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow…(Deut.10:18)

How are the Orphans treated presently?:

They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge. (job.24:3)

How are the Orphans treated presently? :

They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge. (job.24:3)

They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of poor.(job.24:9)

God’s Loving Care for the Orphans:

Leave thy Fatherless Children , I will preserve them alive: and let thy widows trust in me (Jer.49:11)

Lord, thou hast heard of the humble:
thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed..(psalms.10:16-18)

Desperate Need-Study Hall

Bethel is in very urgent need of a “study Hall” for the use of our Orphanage children. We need $.15,000 for this project. And we need to start the construction in October and Complete it before the end of April 2011.

Presently, the children are sitting down to read and to write their home works. And eventually they fall asleep,only to score poor grades in school. This will doom their future. This need is a 14 year old one. We will be grateful if you can support this urgent need. Why can’t you let some one know that we have a need? We will be
extremely grateful. For more details write to the director at: bethelelg@gmail.com (or) call at: +914343-268144

A School Van

Bethel Orphanage is situated in an isolated place in between two Schools separated by 1.6 k.m on each side and or kids go to 2 different schools. Our children have to cross the express way Chennai- Bangalore and once in a month fatal accidents kill people. And the inter state road to Andhra Pradesh runs right through our compound and there is a Catholic ladies college opposite to our Campus. Buses, cars, motor bikes are plenty in plight. More over the kids have to go to school at 8:30 in the morning, and they carry their lunch and school bags. It is difficult for us and for the children. We are praying for a Van. It will cost us about $.15,000. This also is an urgent need.
