In 2003, a group of disciples opened a home for elderly women in response to the increasing need for housing for older women without support or a place to live.
Currently, there are 14 women staying in the group home. Before joining the home, many of these women were sleeping on the street without food, access to healthcare or anyone to even talk to. Thanks to the love and care that the disciples have provided, 9 of the women in the home have become Christians.
Sadly, there are still many more women in need and it is the dream of the sisters that run the home to expand and provide services for others in need. There are many needs for our sisters who currently live in the group home. They are in need of support for their meals, healthcare costs, and other basic needs. Your financial contributions will make a big impact for our sisters that have already endured so much!

Leena and her husband Vijay are a vibrant part of the church in Mumbai. They have served in many ministries and they have two lovely daughters. They are hard workers, but despite their endeavors, they live in very poor conditions in a slum outside Mumbai.
Leena suffered a terrible fall in the shower and severely injured her back. To deal with the pain, Leena took painkillers, but they only masked the injury and now her back is much worse. During the COVID outbreak, Leena lost her job and she and her family do not have the means to pay for her healthcare. Given her worsening condition, it is possible she may need surgery. Leena and her family are seeking your financial assistance as they endure this incredibly difficult time.
