The Plight of Children
“The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst:
the young children ask bread, and NO MAN BREAKETH IT UNTO THEM."
(Lamentations4:4)
Prophet Jeremiah took up a lamentation, while in agony of fervent prayer, for the people of the Living God in captivity. Captivity is a spiritual situation for God's people where, the Living God cuts off His relationship and presence from His people and give them over to enemies, to totally destroy them and make them so emancipated, that they Live in a miserable situation beyond description. The Lord rightly declared, “..I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. (Ex.20.5)
Children under various Categories.
The agents that spoil children:
What are the solutions to gat back our children?
1. “ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants around about thy table.” (Ps.127:3)
This is God's successful spiritual counsel and plan for a happy family. Christian parents and children should come around the table to eat. This has spiritual significance. A strongly bound family produces strong children. “Manshall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of theLord.” Sing, read the word, educate them in the word.Let love, forgiveness, up-lifting each other, peace and joy run over the brinks. The children will be loved and cared by the Lord. Angels are charged over them.
2. Children must get their Christian education by attending Sunday school. Memorizing scripture verses, singing And praising and learning stories from the bible are live and powerful “Seeds” we sow in their hearts. And the Holy Spirit will help to sprout them in due season and make the life fruitful.
3. Cultivate in them “Prayer Life” They should know that the Living God loves them, cares
For them , supplies their needs and protects them and if they go to them in time offailure, sorrow, needs and pains that He freely forgives and restores every thing. Then the children will know that there is always some one to listen and to answer to them.
4. Give them freedom with speed breakers. Allow friends, time outs, let them possess money, them play games and be active, but always keep an eye and if they get in to trouble correct them with love and patience. How Ever if they cross the limit, one has to extend punishment, only to correct them and not to destroy them.
Jesus Loves children and there fore He has ordained Missions and organizations in thousands through out this glob, who care for their holistic needs. I praise the Lord for them. Our children are our future generation and our church leaders. It is our moral and spiritual responsibility to serve the Children with the plan and vision of God!
Bethel serves totally a different breed of children. And they are rural children from a raw non Christian back ground! Every Year Molly, my wife and I take the full responsibility of conducting a 10 days of “Residential Summer camp” for nearly 200 kids from villages where we have associate churches. There they do not have the freedom to go to church regularly and have a systematic Christian Education.
Bethel provides free food, study materials, accommodation, prizes and travel subsidy. Every year the Lord will raise few individuals to support this camp. This year the camp begins on the 1st May 2010 to 10.May 2010. This year so far no one responded!
I need your prayers for this year’s camp meetings! And if possible extend practical support and funds. Visit our site at: www.bethelerc.org to send in your offerings.

Bethel Orphanage is Situated in Krishnagiri Dist of Tamilnadu State of India. Bethel has 12 years of Experience in this field. Some of the boys are in Indian Army, some in Colleges and some Girls have married have settled in good families. Bethel sererves the kids with holistic and total development concept, pouring out to them the Love of Christ.
The development of Bethel Orphanage is slow, brick by brick laying experience. This is because, we are God dependent for all our needs. We are Friends dependent rather than funds dependent. Our needs are 12 years old and we wait, time un-ending.
OUR DESPERATE NEED IS A DINNING HALL CUM A STUDY HALL. AT THE COST OF 15000$. Your help is urgently needed.
May the Lord Bless you!
Sincerely,
