There are four girls in this picture who had been saved from death. In one district of southern India, it is considered a bad omen to have a baby girl at certain times of the year. Just after birth, Drops of poison are given to these babies by their parents. A pastor from one of the ICM churches will go into the hospital and ask to buy these babies from their parents—he saves them from death and brings them to the family-style orphanage to be raised in a loving church home.

The final day of a powerful experience!  The last week has been an overwhelming adventure full of God’s power…..enjoying a day of rest today after a delayed flight back to the US.  The people of India, men, women and children have been so gracious and giving.  It has truly been a sensory overload…from the spicy yet yummy foods, to the beautiful colors of women’s and girl’s sarees, to the uplifting praising of God at the churches.  The last night we celebrated at a church & orphanage dedication.  Sarah’s Covenant Home for children with special needs was such a blessing…..need to run now, to catch our flight to the US…just a quick note…
