God is the best Promise-Keeper.


Greetings,

Family and Friends

Our God is good; He continues to be faithful in FSP.     
This month has been very progressive. I was able to complete visiting all the houses in fsp this month, i.e. 67 houses in four different areas within Bangalore. I was able to listen to their problems, needs, encourage and advice them.

 Over the course of this month we were trying out different means to raise funds for the Family support program. We want to give a chance to our friends and well wishers to help bring some Christmas cheer to the children that are in Fsp. We want to be able to buy them a gift and throw a party for them .They have no idea that we are doing this and its going to be a surprise .So we have started a campaign to raise funds for this purpose, Just imagine the smiles these kids will have on their faces when they see their gifts and most of all they will surely know that they have people in their lives who love them and want the best for them. It’s going to be so worth it to see this happen this December.


It has been a challenging month I had started hearing lies from the enemy, lies like you are not doing anything big for fsp, you are not good enough for fsp, there are enough people dealing with fsp work you don’t make any difference with your work. There were times I believed these were true. These lies crippled and discouraged me a lot. At this time I was reminded about Joseph, God gave him several promises through dreams. It took many years for those promises to be fulfilled in his life but he still stood strong till that time. We know all the difficulties he had to go through; in the end the promises that were given to him became true.

I was reminded of the verse from Philippians1:6 “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

Joseph knew and believed that God had set him apart for something great. Even throughout the difficult events in his life, Joseph believed and trusted in God .He was faithful in serving the Lord no matter the circumstance .He faithfully served the lord in the same way, I want to be faithful in everything I do. God has great plans in store for us! He gives us different situations to teach us more about Him. His greatest desire is for us to know Him more and for us to know who we are in Him.

We were able to arrange a fasting prayer for the ladies so they would learn to worship the Lord in a community. In the fasting prayer we were able to focus on thanking Jesus for the miracles that He has done for us, for the vision of fsp, upcoming programs in fsp, for the needs of fsp.
God is the best Promise Keeper. He always keeps His promises to His Children !





Fasting Prayer



Prayer points:
  •  Please pray that the Christmas surprise for fsp kids will be successful and they would feel loved.
  •   Please pray that we will be able to raise enough funds for the Christmas party.
  •  Please pray that I would be strong in what the Lord has called me to and that I will not be discouraged if things don’t happen the way I want it to happen.
  •   Please pray for the upcoming workshop and activities in fsp.
  •   Pray that I will continue to be faithful to God’s calling in my life.
  •   I find it really hard to trust God to be my provider, pray that I will have faith and learn to trust that God will take care of all my needs.
  •  Please Pray that I will give my best in serving these families and to do it as an act of serving the Lord.

The Journey of Empowerment    Dear Family and Friends I am enjoying my journey with FSP. There are things, which I learn every day. I had devoted myself to house visits this month. At present, we have 50 families with 131 children. These families are spread across four communities within Bangalore. It has been a wonderful journey this month personally visiting these families and getting to know a little more about them, spending time, loving them, listening to them and praying for them. Talking to the kids and encouraging them being an older sister to them. Sometimes they just need a person to listen and understand them. In the process of building lives, there is a tendency to be focused on results and outcomes that we may forget to focus on the person or the people group. Relationship building is a key component in the process of development of the fsp families, keeping this in mind there are some points that we keep in mind while we invest into t...

Hello, my name is Santhiya, I am 24 years old .I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Management last month, I would like to share my testimony and the wonderful journey I have been having with Jesus. He has been a faithful friend and a dad and He still continues to be faithful to me.  I have had some rough times in life, got distracted and followed paths that I should not have, I let my weakness take control of me and went far away from Jesus, His word, His love and compassion.2010 March 16 th was the day I was fully set free from my sins, guilt, shame and many more bondage's, I thank God for that day I was able to walk in freedom and I could enjoy His presence more.  At the age of 20 I heard God talking to me and He clearly called me to do ministry. At that time I had no idea of how or which ministry to join in, I kept praying and looking for ministries. During my second year of degree I worked part time in FSP Family Support Program. Its a proje...

 Dear Family and Friends   I have completed my first month of work!   It has been a very fruitful month . Throughout this month  I have been counseling many of the Fsp kids, it has been a new experience for me.  I have enjoyed counseling them, Talking to them one on one, getting to know them a little more, listening to their problems and  coming up with solutions along with them.   The girls whom I have been counseling have been very open, they share everything freely and they have been considering me as their elder sister. A week back, we just had a three-day fsp training program for the second time in the past two-months. This training is for organizations or people who are interested to move from institutionalization to family based care. This is what we are trying to accomplish at fsp. We cannot dismiss the presence of childcare institutions altogether. However, we can re define the nature of those admitted to these ins...
