Our Story

 

In the summer of 2023, a dedicated team of our pastors embarked on a heartfelt mission to rescue the first group of young orphan girls held captive against their will. With compassion and care, we welcomed these precious girls into the loving home of a pastor and his wife from our trusted church network in the region. This marked the beginning of our commitment, leading to five additional rescue missions over the next 18 months.

As of 2025, we are blessed to oversee six orphanages across two states in India, providing a safe and nurturing haven for 107 children, predominantly young girls who were once facing a life of enslavement. Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we continue to offer these children hope, love, and a brighter future.

Our MIssion

 We rescue and provide a loving home for orphaned children, nurturing their growth through quality education in English and other studies to prepare them for entrance into esteemed schools. Grounded in faith, we disciple them in the teachings of Jesus, fostering a love for God and others, while equipping them with essential life skills such as cooking and sewing to empower their futures.

Letters of Hope

Here is one letter from one of our girls we rescued in 2023. It is heart breaking to hear what she was goping through, but so amazing to hear the hope she now has for her life. 

  

HELLO... MY NAME IS KALYANI. I'm 16 years old.  Today I want to tell you something about me. There is nothing in my past except a big tamarind tree where we play daily and tamarind is very sweet in taste. In town I lived happily asking people for food and slept under a bridge at night with a group of people like me. As usual, I slept in my place, but then felt someone taking off my clothes and woke up suddenly and shocked to see a group of people standing in front of me and I was not in the place where I usually sleep. I was in shock for few minutes. They got a phone call and locked the room and went away. I began to cry loudly and shout for help but no one came to help. I lost my energy and felt hungry. The next day they took me out of that Room and there I realized I'm not the only one there. We are 25 girls from ages 3 to 20 . We were kidnapped. They kept us all in one room and every night they use to take one sister out and in the morning she use to come back with some burns and marks, and scratched on her body. Slowly the number has fallen to 17. One day an elder sister is severely wounded and lost her life. Immediately they shifted us to different place where they took a single photographs of us all. The next day they were talking about eyes,kidney ,B positive, these are the English words I heard from them. I don't even know what they are. Probably days later they woke us up and made us brush our teeth for the first time in 15 days. They gave us breakfast and instructed that we gonna have new owner and told us to do everything the owner ask us to do. We thought our lives are going to end badly , finally they brought us to a temple where we all have seen our new owner who is very white in color. They shifted us in their own vehicle. For the first time in my life I touched a car. They took us to a restaurant and then they purchased some very nice clothes. That time pastor JAYA PRAKASH told us we are free and safe with them. All the girls were so happy to hear that and all our girls talked and decided to thank the white one who freed us by tying a bradcelet to his hand.as we have no place to live He provided us a house to live which gave us a Hope to live happily. Soon we all realized that he is not just a brother but he is more than that. He is a Father to all of us. He played a guitar for us and we learned our first christian song. That day we don't even know who is Jesus but today we all his soldiers. Children of God. Jesus Christ is our personal savior. Not only that I am a princess of this earth because my Heavenly FATHER owns it. Also, Thank you mom ( Mark's wife) for teaching who we are. God brought us from a dark room and gave us a Father( Mark) and a mom , a lot of sisters , and a big family on the phone we see them and pray for them. I praise God for everything he is doing in our lives and also thank You Daddy Mark for giving us good life. I want to study well and when I grow up I just want to share gospel to as many as I can and also do my best to regulate and reduce the human trafficking and organ harvesting. Because now I know the meaning of those English words . Thank you pastor Joseph for teaching us some English. I will study well and make you all proud of me. Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity.
