Needs Update

Brethren,


There are, as with many works like this, many needs. The most pressing needs now are:


1. Monthly sponsorship for the orphans. There are 150 orphans at present at Dayspring where only half have the support needed to feed, clothe, and educate them. It costs approximately $25/month to support one child completely. Would you consider supporting a child at Dayspring?


2. Roof repair. Several years back a roof was damaged at Dayspring limiting the living space for the children. This not only results in more congested living quarters, making sleeping miserable, but also in the spread of sickness and disease, making living most grievous. These pictures show both the roof that needs repair and the living conditions of the children.

3. Relief for the persecuted. Often, Christians come to Dayspring seeking help after suffering persecution. They may be in need of medical care, food, clothing, or the services of the orphanage. Please pray for the persecuted Christians in India. Most recently, persecution has increased and Adam has had many visits from Christians in Orissa. There is estimated some 40 children who have been orphaned as a result, but Dayspring is struggling to support what they have let alone take new children.
Above all things pray for these children and pray for the work of the Gospel there in India. Pray that the message of Jesus Christ would reach many people and that God would open their hearts to give heed to the things spoken by those sent to bring the good news of Jesus Christ.
Your brother in Christ,
Geoff
