A DECADE OF HARVEST
(2007 – 2014)
With intent we have founded this unique organization FOLLOW JESUS TEAM for the cause of un-reached sector of this region on our own. In fact I and our congregations are belong to the poorest sector of the society. In fact it is outcast and neglected by the rest of the Indian society. Our People toil under the hot sun shine in the agricultural form lands for lively-hood. At the time of Harvest season in order to get agricultural labor used to migrate from place to place a group of people collectively and will be sheltered under huge trees or else at abandoned and ruined structures, some times due to untimely rains or storms they used to face hazardous situations (circumstances). Only by the grace of our almighty surviving.
After harvest season most of the labors collectively will be returned back to their respective places, along with their children. Whenever they migrate, they took their school going children with intent to watch their belongings and to care younger children when ever they are at work spot. Thus they were spoiling their children without school. In fact most of the church members too below the poverty line. They are not in a position to support the church activities. At such junctures our income also fall down, the impact fall even upon the shepherds. (Pastors).
Even at their hamlets due to lack of proper wages they were forced to migrate even to there nearest towns for their lively hood. Because of meager wages they oftenly face hardships even for their daily bread. Due to malnutrition food frequently face hazardous disease, their children too face such dangerous circumstances.
Because of their heartfelt incidents after much prayer we have resolved to launch A FAMILY TO FAMILY PROJECT to mitigate their problems. For the time being we have been identified 50 most deserved families to adopt on holistic basis.
We resolved to arrange at least 5 temporary child care centers with an intent, at the time of their migration we proposed to be sheltered the most deserved and unfortunate children. In this way we can protect their children and further no interruption for school going. We like to provide food, clothing, school material and medical expenses in their way we can ease burden to their parents.
Thus we ought to show the love and care. The following scripture references commissioned and admonish us to love the poor and destitute. Pro 19:17, Ps 82:3,4. Pro 14:21; 28:27,Gal 2:10 finally for your sake, He became poor 2 Cor 8:9, James 1:27. Our primary aim and target Is to reach the un-reached with the good news. If we agree together on this planet heavenly doors will be opened for us. May God grant great reward in the heaven.
