Hindi orphans and the Ricebox

Let me tell you a beautiful story

A group of girls and women sitting on the floor of a room around a low tray, smiling at the camera.

It is one thing to minister in churches.

It is great to train YWAM missionaries and Bible schools.

It is an altogether other story to take Jesus to the LEAST of the least, last and lost – they have never heard the GOOD NEWS

Thanks to Dr. Sandhya, our NBSI INDIA partner, a door opened for us to take a story to a very rich and famous Hindi school that also houses orphans in danger.

There are over 200 of these girls. We met 12 of them because no one was willing to take any of these 12 away during the holiday season. Can you IMAGINE their rejection. Look at their beautiful faces. NO ONE WANTS THEM.

BUT JESUS! HE is altogether different, isn’t HE!

We were warned to be very cautions with how we would tell a Bible story to these girls. We decided on telling the story of Jairus little girl that was dead. We know that Jesus came and rose her from the dead, and gave her food to eat.

Once I was done, I gave each of these girls a little figure to place into the rice, representing where they thought they were in the box.

I asked them if they felt like the girl that was dead?

TEARS streamed down their faces as they opened up and started asking us the difficult question: WHY did their parents through them away?

Does God really care?

When we took them one by one, looking them in their eyes telling them how much Jesus Who created them, loved them.

I was shaken for a few days afterwards. Not only because of these girls, but when they gave us a tour of the building we saw several woman with massive scars… Their abusers threw boiling water and oil on them but they survived. It is at this institute they found a place of refuge.
