<div>Pastor Vinod Waghmare, his family, and the staff at Grace Child Ministry work tirelessly in the district of Maharashtra, India helping to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

<div>Pastoral staff, making sure everyone is fed and happy
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The main goals are:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1) Caring for the children of his orphanage in Mahrastra. The children need daily food as well as beds. Right now the children are sleeping on the floor on mattresses. Pastor needs your support to build bunk beds as well as the purchasing of food and clothing.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here are the children attending Bible School
</div>
<div><br />

</div>

</div>
<div>2) Bringing Bibles to the people in the area. Having the ability to read the Word of God for yourself is a life-changer to a new Christian.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3) Showing the Jesus Movie and ministering to those in need. Pastor Waghmare has recently been blessed with a projector! Now he and his team go about to the surrounding villages and show the people who Jesus was in video format. Often, people can't read the word due to illiteracy and this is one of the most powerful ways to show who He was.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/75334441_1694540818574973_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wherever you have electricity, you can show the movie
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/75334441_1694540841534412_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When the movie is over, the gospel is preached
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's a video of church preaching vs what it is to preach at an outreach.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>4) Bringing medical aid to the town and surrounding villages. The majority of the medical aid is brought in by visiting Doctors.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is a visiting Doctor, distributing medicine
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>5) The vehicles that the ministry uses need constant maintenance, like any other vehicle. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/75334441_1694540886524061_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ministry also has a bike for transportation needs
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/75334441_16945409358168_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Don't forget the car to get the children to school
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>6) Programs such as purchasing and passing out childrens literature, takes funds to keep going. Children are a blessing to God!
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/75334441_1694540956479242_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People love gifts! These are gospel learning booklets
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>7) The ultimate goal is to care for every child in the area, but this will take some miracles to achieve. In the meantime, the enxt step is to either find a larger building or build a new one to care for more children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/75334441_1694540975402477_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's time for a larger orphanage to hold more activities
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are never without persecution in our lives, but when we help others it always grows exponentially. Recently, Pastor Waghmare was attacked by some bullies who threatened to stop him from showing the Jesus film in a village. Not only that, but his laptop was broken and now his phone is not working properly. Life is tough when you are sold out to Jesus.

<div>Let's continue to be a blessing!
