Thriving in Hope

Sunil* developed a brain tumor and died within four months.  This left his grieving wife and three young children alone.  Sadly, the youngest child then fell very ill and the mother could no longer look after her family.

To lose loved ones through illness or accident can break a heart but to reach a point in your life when you have to decide to voluntarily let go of your children is a true tragedy.  Only a mother can imagine the pain felt by handing her two daughters to Mukti Mission.  Sami* is the elder of these two precious girls and Ranja* is the younger.  They are no less precious because of their father’s death and mother’s poverty.  They remain the apple of God’s eye and, as He promises in Matthew 6, so He has faithfully provided for the two girls.

Sami and Ranja are thriving in Mukti.  They have a warm bed surrounded by loving sisters in the family and a full-time housemother.  They can even boast of clean uniforms they can proudly wear to school where they receive good education and hope for the future.  They are counted among the blessed children of India to be given two glasses of milk a day and the freedom within Mukti to play with an abundance of friends, all from similar traumatic circumstances.  The two sisters gain strength and encouragement from the big Mukti family knowing that the alternative to this blessed life is a nightmare that could so easily have become their reality.

Like Sami and Ranja, hundreds of little girls walk through the gates of Mukti without knowing what the future holds for them.  Praise God for Mukti’s ministry.
