A Heart that Gives Unconditionally


Dear family and friends,

It’s been a thriving month; a lot of work was successfully done. Christmas season is always busy, lot of planning, hosting events etc. Through the grace of God everything is going perfectly as planned. As I had mentioned in the last months news letter over the course of last two months, 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 it’s going to be a surprise. So, we have started a campaign to raise funds for this purpose, with the help of generous givers we were able to raise 1,40,000 rupees which helped our dream come true. We were able to buy the kids in fsp something small to celebrate Christmas and bless them.
These are some of the items that we have purchased, we know that the kids are going to be super happy and excited to see these gifts, and most of all they are going to feel loved.



(Bags,Bottles, Fleece, Flipflop, Caps, balls,Frisbee,Socks ,Shirts and more )                                                                              
We are going to have a carol night where all the families in fsp are invited it’s going to be a time of singing carols, playing games, eating lots of snacks, opening presents and more. It’s going to be a special time where the kids will feel treasured, loved and have lots of fun.












This past month I have  started taking after school tuition for some kids from fsp, who   need extra help with studies . It’s a difficult process but they need help with the basic foundations in all the subjects. I was reminded of all the help I got when I was a kid struggling with studies, these kids have no one to invest in them and teach them the basics. I have been learning that I need a heart of giving  all that I have , we all need to learn to have a heart to give- that can be investing time, money, resources, encouragements etc. What use it is if we just keep everything to ourselves and not give anything to anyone. Our God gave us his heart unconditionally expecting nothing in-return.

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...
