COVID19
October 2021
We just received news that November 1, 2021 all schools will be re-opened and children will be back in school. This news is welcomed by all parents and teachers as everyone has been at home since June 2020. We are looking forward to opening the schools. Teachers are eager to come and teach as the pay has been substantially cut. Once the school starts they will start receiving their full wages. Please do your best to send in your donations to restore back to full service of all our schools and centers.

Greetings!
I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. Before I share a specific request, let me thank you for your prayers and financial support. Many of you contacted us regarding the well being of our family here and in India.
Since February 2021, I could not travel at all but did most of our meetings through Zoom. We reached out to several countries with the word and encouragement to our leaders. Recently about 2 months ago I tested positive for Covid but recovered in record time with minimal sickness. My family in India is doing well but from my wife's side over a dozen people passed away with Covid in the last couple of months. Apart from that over 300 pastors that are known and connected to us have passed on to glory. You may have seen in the news as thousands and thousands have died in India. We may never know the actual number because thousands died at home with no medical care and were never reported. Please continue to pray for the nation of India.
Our school staff, office staff, leper colony, orphanages and so many who are directly involved in our mission has suffered a great loss during this pandemic. Schools had to be closed for the last 1 plus year and hoping to open in July, but cannot be sure.
For the last 1 year we have been sending relief to many pastors and poor people to help with Covid relief. It was well received and are very thankful for the support.
At this time we need to send more relief. Apart from our regular monthly support we have been sending some additional funds to help with supplying food to many families who have absolutely no food. We organized a team of volunteers to take a survey and intensified over a 100 families that are in desperate situation. I wish I could show you a full picture of all the 100 plus families in one Photo. They are not allowed to come to church or congregate. We organized a team of volunteers to take a survey and identified over a 100 families that are in desperate situation. We have been providing some groceries and essentials with a three wheeler to individual houses as they cannot come to our central location. I am giving you a sample of a few photos here who have received these groceries and essentials. Each family has 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 plus members who have to eat. Many mothers let their children eat and they go to sleep hungry. After we started the program we found out what we give lasts about a week for a family. It costs about $10 per family for a supply for 1 week.
For the next 3 months I would like to help these 100 families with Rice, dhal, dry beans, oil, fresh vegetables etc. Each week to supply for 100 families it will cost a mere $1000. I would like to ask if you can be a sponsor for 1 week, 2 weeks or 5 weeks. One thing we will do is, if you have committed for a week, we will insert a postcard with your name and a picture of your family to those who have received the groceries. In return you can be assured of their prayers for your family and business. In case you are not able to help for a week, you can contribute whatever you wish. The Lord knows your heart and he will bless you.

Due to Covid19, the beneficiary families are suffering in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Indonesia. Many have lost their daily, weekly and monthly income. In India and Sri Lanka, the government has ordered that no one should even come out of the house without a valid reason. Several have been beaten and fined by police. The food supply chain has been affected in many areas. Some food and grocery stores are open to supply food to the public up to a certain hour each day. People have complained to the government that they are dying more of starvation than the COVID19.
The problem is that the people do not have funds to buy groceries. Any donation towards the families supported by Share in Asia is much appreciated. If you have been a donor of Share in Asia and you have a dire situation, please contact our office. We will do our best to help you in any way possible. Thanks for being a partner and supporter of Share in Asia.
Your donation is much appreciated!
