News about COVID-19 are slowly ceasing and other news like inflation are becoming the new headlines. We are all aware of how this pandemic has affected the world and continues to affect the cost of living that is increasing everywhere around us.

India, like other countries, was drastically affected by the pandemic, especially in June 2020 when it had the third highest COVID-19 cases in the world. Children in the orphanage were not able to attend school for 8-9 months that year. The following year, in 2021, schools tried to cram a yearlong curriculum into just 5 months. And today, India is experiencing the hottest recorded temperature since 122 years ago. Those who live off their harvest are taking a toll, losing about 10-35% of their crops. There have been five heatwaves from March to May as birds have died and fallen from the sky due to the heat. Therefore, please pray for India as many are being affected by these circumstances, especially the poor and needy.

Now, in Chinthaluru, some of the orphans have grown up and moved out, but there are still children eagerly waiting for new sponsors. Will you become the channel of God’s love to these children? If the Holy Spirit is tugging at your heart and convicting you to sponsor a child, please feel free to contact our office or visit our website at www.coj.org.

“And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it
shall be seen.” (Genesis 22:14)

Our ABBA Father is a God who provides. He knows our every need even before we ask Him. The aftermath of the pandemic is evident all around us, including our economy.
We are experiencing and hearing news of inflation as prices continue to rise, not only here in the U.S. but in developing countries like Peru and India as well. Even our COJ pastors have shared their concerns about the rising prices of goods and services.

In times of crisis such as this, we, as children of God, must walk by faith and not by sight. Dear sponsors, please pray with us. Just as God provided manna and quail for the Israelites in the wilderness, may He provide for the needs of our COJ children and pastors in Peru, India, and around the world. Let’s call upon the name of the Lord, Jehovah Jireh, who is faithful in keeping his promises!
