In June of 2008, Padma made his rounds to the villages he’d been unable to reach because of his stolen bike. His “legs” to ministry. Upon visiting one of the villages, he found 7 children recently orphaned. Three parents to snake bites, one to a tree branch falling on her head on her way to her husband screaming from the bite. No one was caring for the children. Padma went home and prayed with Dorthi, and they decided to take these children. In July of 2008 the Angela Children Home opened. The following year 5 more were added. Four were “illegal” children who were left in the railyard somewhere between five and six years old. They begged for food from the passengers. When Padma happened upon them he began to share his food with them. Then he told them that if they would meet him everyday he would bring them food. The children at home were asked to pray. Then they came to Padma and said, “Daddy, you take such good care of us, feed us less so that you have more to give them”. Those four and another found on the road side were added to the Children home.

2018 There are 17 children in the care of the Children’s Home. Five are in need of financial help to go to college, the younger ones are in need of yearly school, exam, and medical fees. In addition to individual needs, the home itself has some needs to be ready to house the children. We need 10 bunk beds at $200 each. We need to finish wiring $2150.00. To tile the floors, we need $6,000.00. We need $800.00 for doors. We need an exterior railing at the cost of $2,800.00. We also need to finish the windows but have not gotten an estimate on that cost yet. The current debt on the home is $52,000. God is bigger :)!
