Our Visit in flood affected areas
Dear Pastor Greg Young G we have visited Some areas of Punjab named : 1. Ajnala Block , in this block there are more than 85 villages. 2. Block Dera Baba Nanak Block, it has more than 150 villages. 3. Dhariwal Block it has 62 villages.
In all these blocks we have 160 pastors including our lead Pastors and their churches meeting in different villages, our pastors are covering 240 villages in ministry.
Sad News
They are mainly giving aid to High caste but neglecting our Christian Community and low caste people. therefore, our Christian Community and low caste people don’t have anything to eat, no medicines, no clothing, no plastic sheet for covering the roofs to stop the leakages, no water, no milk for the Children and necessary things for ladies etc.
Sikh High Caste : There are high caste people that don’t allow any aide or other social organizations of High caste Sikhs to give any help or aid to Christians and lower caste people. They claim it is because if the Lower Caste will get enough food and aid, then they will not come to do the work in their agricultural land. Christians and low caste communities are poor and well below the poverty line. They hire them to do the work with very low wages. We know that becoming Christian has made them to be better and harder workers as they read their bibles and become closer to Jesus.
Good New
Thank and Praise God that with your prayers and support we were able to help the 20 villages where we have given the food, milk for Children, water, bread and many necessary things for the ladies. We reached 51 pastors and 3200 people both Christians and low caste. They are so happy and thankful for receiving this blessing with tears.
People are taking the food and milk at their homes
Dear Pastor Greg Young G with your prayers and support we were able to reach some of the villages and pastors with food. Still there are many villages and pastors who did not receive anything to eat. Therefore, we are planning to provide food to 4000 people, mattresses to 500 hundred families and 500 blankets. We have received so many requests and phone calls from pastors, believers and low caste communities because high caste people and government are completely neglecting and not proving them relief aid for flood affected people and their communities, therefore we would request you Pastor Greg Young G, Faith Harvest Church, Chosen Generation Radio Show and all our brothers and sisters join us in this kind work, we are so blessed to write this report to you, we all have been praying for you, family, ministries and all our brothers and sisters in Christ.
