and Jesus Loves Children Home (JLCH)

Hello friends,


I hope this email finds you well and ready for summer! Time is really flying by!

The last time we sent a letter we had Covid mandates in place and we are now all thankful that is over. It still doesn’t mean the hardships are over by any means as we have war going on in Ukraine and what seems to be a global economic downturn. The good news is we can always rejoice in where our joy comes from and that is Jesus! 


There is certainly lots of joy going on in India as Sudhakar Rao and his team of over 200 preachers and a vibrant women’s ministry are starting a very large Vacation Bible School series in approximately 175 locations spread out over five main areas starting in the Andhra Pradesh State then Bangalore (Karnataka State), Chennai (Tamilnadu State), Mumbai (Maharastra State) and Hydrabad (Telangana State). Hundreds of teachers and helpers will participate. They have a goal of over 20,000 children to attend with hundreds if not thousands of home bible studies to follow after. This work of Sudhakar’s team is well known throughout the region as he has been invited to other countries to speak about and train others how they implement such an outreach ministry. We anticipate thousands of people to come to Christ through this effort! Please pray for this! S&R provides funding for this thanks to so many of you!


The orphans at the Jesus Loves Children Home are also doing well as they recently finished their school season and we will soon be enrolling for the next school year. Your donations also pay for all the costs associated for school to include tuition, books etc. 


Two months ago, we had an orphan named Mary needing to go through surgery to remove a large five-pound benign tumor that was close to her uterus. She was going through almost unbearable pain and we praise Jesus that Mary is fully recovered and doing very well! 


It’s because of you through your prayers and support that this Kingdom work is able to happen in India. We are so grateful and appreciative. If you would like to donate to this good work, please visit our website www.sandrministries.org or you could send checks to the address below. As always, we seek your prayers!

May God bless you and your family!
