Raju lives in the Ghugus Slums of Chandapur, Maharashtra, India. His story is one of immense hardship and resilience. After his birth, his father abandoned him and his mother, leaving them to face life’s challenges on the roadside. His mother, with nowhere to turn, was forced into a life of begging just to survive. Living far below the poverty line, their situation worsened as she became a target of abuse and violence, enduring unimaginable pain. Over time, her health deteriorated, leaving her unable to fend for herself or her young son.
When our team visited their makeshift home with ration kits, it was a moment of relief and joy for them. For the first time in weeks, they didn’t have to worry about their next meal. Raju, who had never attended school or heard about Jesus, listened intently as our coordinator shared the gospel with him. With a heart open to hope, he prayed alongside us, experiencing God’s love for the first time.
This life-changing moment was made possible because of the generosity of . Thank you for being a beacon of hope in Raju’s life and giving him a glimpse of a brighter future.
