Even though India was liberated from England in 1947, it boasts 5,000 years of history. And during those 5 thousand years, India has kept Hinduism as their national religion. In 2024, the Hindu population was well over 80%. Prime minister Modi publicly announced that he will do his best to make India 100% Hindu nation. On top of that India now has surpassed China to claim most populated nation in the world with close to 1.5 billion people. Can you imagine the heart of our God knowing that many people perishing in India? He so much so desire to save even one more person from India. And that’s why He even called such a small mission organization like us. The church building construction that has began last year is going very well. This is truly dream come true for them. And because there were faithful sponsors who said yes to the call of our heavenly Father, His kingdom is expanding in this lost nation of India. Please continue to join us in prayers and giving to witness God’s kingdom establishing all over India. To God be the glory.

Dear Beloved sponsors, We are so grateful for your generous support of the Children of Love Ministry. Because of your kindness, 2024 was a year of incredible impact. Through your contributions, we provided nearly 40,000 meals to over 750 children in the poorest regions of India, Ecuador, and Peru. In addition to nourishing these children, we distributed school supplies, hygiene products, and shared over 1,500 devotionals, bringing spiritual encouragement and the message of God’s love to these communities. Your generosity has touched countless lives and brought hope to children who desperately need it. As we look ahead to 2025, our vision is to further God’s Kingdom by reaching even more children in unreached areas of these countries. We aim to provide for their physical needs, but, more importantly, to share the love and message of Jesus Christ with those who have never heard it. With your continued financial support, we can extend this life-changing work, feeding hungry bodies, sharing the gospel, and transforming lives for His glory. Your partnership makes all the difference, and we are excited to see what God will accomplish through us together. Thank you for being an integral part of this mission and for standing with us in faith. We invite you to continue walking alongside us in this journey to bring hope and love to the most vulnerable. With deep gratitude, Pastor James Lee President of Hanhee Kim World Mission Center

In the heart of India’s eastern coast lies Visakhapatnam, a mid-sized harbor city. A two-hour drive south takes you to the small town of Chintaluru—a place that, in the eyes of the gospel, is as significant as any city. Here lives Pastor Samuel Abraham, a second-generation pastor with a powerful legacy. His father, born into a Hindu family, experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus, dedicating his life to sharing the gospel with tribal villages. Though he had neither car nor bicycle, he walked tirelessly from village to village, taking along his young son, Samuel, and saying, “We must go to 100 villages and build a church in each one.” Tragically, Pastor Samuel’s father was called to be with the Lord when Samuel was only 14. Samuel kept his father’s dream alive and continued his studies in seminary to carry on his mission. Two years ago, Pastor Samuel faced a serious health crisis himself—a heart attack that nearly took his life. This challenge limited his ability to reach villages on his old motorcycle. God, however, had a plan, stirring the hearts of generous sponsors to provide Pastor Samuel with a four-wheel-drive vehicle, empowering him to reach even more villages safely. “Am I dreaming?” he exclaimed with gratitude. “Thank you, Lord, and thank you to the sponsors for this unimaginable blessing! Now I must work even harder for His kingdom.” Imagine Pastor Samuel now, driving into new villages, his heart set on establishing 100 churches to fulfill his father’s vision. We invite you to pray with us for Pastor Samuel’s continued health and strength so that, through him, the people of India may experience the saving grace of Jesus.

Jesus Christ is returning soon, and in these times, we see the enemy working hard to deceive and harm God’s people. In Peru, our pastors are facing heartbreaking challenges as they witness young children and teens being drawn away from the church and into worldly distractions. Many families are struggling—parents who want nothing to do with church, and children drifting from their faith and falling into difficult situations. Young girls face increasing risks of violence, and children as young as 15 find themselves in situations they should never have to face. Even pastors’ children are losing focus, becoming distant from their call to serve. Please read the following words and pray with us. I have a growing concern for the children at my church. It is located in a rural area of Cuzco. Once the children grow up, they leave into the city to work, get lost in the world, and never come back. -Pastor Patricio, Cusco We have a child here at the age of 15 who has given birth to a baby earlier this year. It is normal for young girls to become pregnant here in Satipo. I am saddened because children have to focus on providing for their families at such a young age. -Pastor Reyes, Satipo I have 3 boys, now in their 30s, who live in the city. They don’t know God. It breaks my heart that they have fallen away. I am thankful to the Lord that my two daughters continue to serve and support the church. I have faith and hope that my three boys will return to God. -Pastor Duner, Iquitos I am so worried about the children and their families. Their parents almost never come to church and God knows what they might be going through when they are not here at the sanctuary. I am praying for God to open up doors and resources for us to make a school of education and discipleship for the children so that they continue to remain in the Lord and grow in His Word. -Pastor Bobbio, Piura Yet, there is hope. The battle is not over, and we believe that God’s power and love can restore what the enemy is trying to destroy. We are called to pray with urgency and faith, lifting up everyone in the COJ ministry. Please join us in fervent prayer, asking for God’s protection, strength, and revival for these families, children, and leaders.

Last week marked our 31st anniversary, and we praise our awesome God for using unqualified people like us to reach and touch so many poor children and wandering youth over the past 31 years. The Lord gave us Matthew 25:40 as our theme verse and commanded us to feed, clothe, and visit the poor and neglected children around the world, especially through local churches in each community and region. After all these years of partnering with so many local churches, we have some of the most exciting and joyful news to share. One of the churches we’ve been supporting has decided to start its own internal COJ project this October. They have chosen to transform from a receiving church into a giving church. This church, “Strong Castle Church,” located in Satipo near the Amazon jungles (Pastor Perez Reyes), will begin supporting the children in the Pangoa region—the very region God revealed to us only a few months ago as we sought His guidance for our ministry in Peru. We are reminded of His promise in Psalm 126:6: “Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.” God is ever faithful and great, and we give Him all the praise and glory. We will continue to update you on this exciting development. Thank you for your faithful support of the Children of Jesus ministry.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.” (Proverbs 19:17) During our recent RECOFA (National Directors Meeting for Abba Peru), a young lady approached us with a heartfelt greeting. She shared that she was from the region of Tarapoto and spoke passionately about the children there who are in desperate need. She asked, “Do you also help the poor and needy children?” Her concern was evident as she described the dire conditions many children face in the outskirts of Tarapoto. “There are so many children who have nothing to eat, drink, or wear. If someone could offer a helping hand, many of them could come to know the gospel of Jesus. Can you help them?” Peru has become a rapidly developing nation, and for some time, we had been seeking God’s direction—whether to remain in Peru or move to another nation or continent. As we prayed, the Lord opened doors in places like Pangoa, and now, Tarapoto. We believe God is calling us to lend to Him a little more in Peru, and we are ready to obey. Will you join us in prayer for the lost children of Tarapoto and for guidance as we continue this mission?
