Dear friends,
It is great to be home! We arrived safe and sound back in India on the 5th of Nov. We were greeted with the sounds and smells of India. It was 25C at 3AM quite a difference compared to Canada.
We want to start our new letter by thanking all of you that made our trip so special. Thanks to all
the pastors and churches that allowed us to share and to all of our friends and family for their hospitality and love.
As many of you know Hannah stayed in Canada to continue her schooling. We thank you all for your prayer support. Although we miss Hannah a lot it is a great comfort to us that she is settling in well and has started a new job.
We want to bring you up to date on a couple of projects. First the Hope for the Children construction and updates are finished and it looks like a new place.
Thanks to Pastor Zis Moradi from KRT Brampton for funding this whole project. The kids now have a beautiful new facility.
I also want to introduce our latest project, “New Beginnings Learning Center”. Many of you know and support Women Helping Widows. WHW is a widow’s ministry that I started to help poor and abandoned widows in our churches. From this ministry came a dream to start a center where women can learn a trade. We are planning on opening a center and restarting our sewing ministry.We will offer free sewing classes to women.
So many women in the villages are living in abusive situations because they can’t leave. They are poor with no skills or education they depend on their husbands for their financial support. Because many men are addicted to alcohol they spend their money at the local wine shop leaving the family with little or no money.
New Beginnings will offer women an opportunity to break the cycle of abuse and poverty. It will give them a better life and improve the life of their children. It will also open the doors to us to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus.
If you would like to partner with us in helping these women please contact us at prasaddawn@hotmail.com.
Looking ahead to the next month we are getting ready to start the very busy Christmas season. With all of it's Christmas programs in all the churches we give leadership to, widows party and children's party. If you would like to send a gift towards the Christmas programs please send it to the PAOC national office. Please note Samsons Chennai Christmas and drop us a line to notify us of your gift.
Advanced Christmas wishes to you all,
Prasad, Dawn and Asha.
