Christmas Gift for a child in need

Dear Show God's Love Sponsor/Friend:

We received a letter from Raja Sekher from the Ashirvad project (see below). They have just completed construction on a new orphanage building, which has left the financial coffers empty. They would like to provide clothing and gifts to their 75 children. Raja has sent a plea to Show God's Love and some of his other supporters asking for financial support to give the children under his care a nice Christmas.

As a sponsor of our Jangum Gudem project, I would like to ask you to consider making a donation to this cause.

It only costs $7.00 (US) to provide a new set of clothing for each needy child. A gift of $25.00 would provide for three children and have some left over for some small Christmas gifts.

So far we have no sponsors at the Ashirvad project. We are hoping that this plea will raise awareness of this ministry and allow us to Show God's Love to these needy children.

Your donation is tax deductible in the US and will be sent directly to Ashirvad with only a small percentage withheld by Paypal for credit card processing.

(you do not need to have a PayPal account)

Thank you for considering this and have a Merry Christmas season!

PS - Below is the original letter from Raja...


Dear Friends,

Greetings to you in Jesus name.

I trust that this mail of mine finds you all in good spirits. We are all doing well and especially the children of Ashirvad are doing wonderful and are now writing their unit tests.

They are anxiously waiting for the Christmas celebrations on the 25 th of Dec. and it is the time for them to expect some good clothes and gifts.

I am very sad at this point of time since I am deeply moved to tell you that this year we are finding it difficult to buy clothes for these children as there are no resources for the clothing.

I request you to pray about this and the Lord will surely bless these children

Please do write when you find time and I specially thank all of you for your love and concern for these little ones.

God be with you

In Christ,

Raja.

  Dear SGL Sponsor:

We are pleased to announce that we have collected $685 USD for Christmas gifts for the children of the Ashirvad home. Due to your generous donations, we were able to meet and exceed our goal of $525 for this cause.

Thanks to all who generously donated!

We have asked Ashirvad to provide photos of the children with their gifts. When we receive them we will post them on the site in the Ashirvad area.

Merry Christmas and God Bless,
Michael Shaffer
