On this mission trip,
we're going to take you
00:00:35.00\00:00:37.00
to the city of
Chennai in South India.
00:00:37.03\00:00:40.77
Then from there,
00:00:40.80\00:00:42.14
we will be taking
an all night train
00:00:42.17\00:00:43.57
to the town of Nazareth
00:00:43.64\00:00:45.11
located in the
southeastern tip of India.
00:00:45.14\00:00:47.88
I haven't ride in
the trains in India
00:01:32.85\00:01:34.69
for probably about 10 years.
00:01:34.72\00:01:37.03
We always drive
where we are going,
00:01:37.09\00:01:38.93
so we decided we
will take a train trip
00:01:38.96\00:01:40.80
down to southern
tip, east tip of India
00:01:40.86\00:01:44.30
to see the orphanage.
00:01:44.33\00:01:47.30
I've been riding in the trains
for almost 44 years in India.
00:01:47.37\00:01:51.57
I don't think these
trains have changed at all
00:01:51.61\00:01:53.51
and I think this is
probably the same ones
00:01:53.54\00:01:55.44
we used like about 24 years ago.
00:01:55.48\00:01:57.91
Riding on the train have
some interesting features
00:02:03.28\00:02:06.69
like using the bathroom.
00:02:06.76\00:02:08.76
If you have to
go to the bathroom
00:02:08.79\00:02:10.13
this is where you go.
00:02:10.16\00:02:12.53
Check it out.
00:02:12.56\00:02:13.90
Yeah, that's kind
of, it's just a hole,
00:02:20.70\00:02:23.10
it goes down on to
the railroad tracks.
00:02:23.14\00:02:27.61
These trains aren't very clean.
00:02:27.64\00:02:29.78
The train is a
little bit crowded
00:02:33.05\00:02:34.52
but this is where
you sleep for the night.
00:02:34.55\00:02:36.79
They have all
these different beds.
00:02:36.85\00:02:39.69
They fold up sort of like chairs
00:02:39.72\00:02:41.72
but when everybody
gets tired they unlink them
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.63
and it's where you sleep.
00:02:44.66\00:02:47.03
I have a feeling it's
going to be a long night.
00:03:11.45\00:03:13.56
It's a long
train ride last night.
00:03:53.46\00:03:56.30
I think we spent 14
hours on this train,
00:03:56.33\00:04:00.94
bouncing all over the place.
00:04:00.97\00:04:02.54
Traveling with my
wife Christy and I
00:04:11.88\00:04:14.12
are Pastor
Johnson and his wife Ruby,
00:04:14.15\00:04:16.99
plus Pastor Shadrach Samuel.
00:04:17.02\00:04:21.39
I found it strange that
00:04:21.42\00:04:22.76
there is a town
called Nazareth in India.
00:04:22.79\00:04:25.33
This man must have
been a parking lot employee.
00:04:34.74\00:04:37.37
It's a little bit
crowded, just a little bit.
00:04:57.39\00:04:59.56
Not too bad.
00:04:59.59\00:05:03.16
We get on, only a five
minutes taxi ride here,
00:05:03.20\00:05:06.74
so it's not too bad.
00:05:06.77\00:05:08.10
This is the hundred
year church over here,
00:05:27.72\00:05:30.36
and I think we will
be staying right here
00:05:30.43\00:05:32.86
for the night day
before the weekend.
00:05:32.89\00:05:35.46
We were all
amazed that this family
00:05:35.50\00:05:37.77
who are gone on
vacation allowed us to stay
00:05:37.80\00:05:39.93
in their beautiful
home for a few days.
00:05:40.00\00:05:42.00
This house had to
be over 100 years old
00:05:42.04\00:05:44.71
and was built like a fortress.
00:05:44.74\00:05:47.48
In our last
television program on India
00:05:47.54\00:05:49.31
called The Legacy Continues,
00:05:49.34\00:05:50.71
we shared with you
about this Adventist church.
00:05:50.75\00:05:53.15
It's the oldest Adventist church
00:05:53.18\00:05:54.72
in South India.
00:05:54.75\00:05:56.08
On the same campus is a
large fabulous church school,
00:05:56.12\00:05:58.92
and this is
where the orphan kids
00:05:58.95\00:06:00.79
are going to school.
00:06:00.82\00:06:02.16
They have a chance to receive
a quality education here.
00:06:02.19\00:06:04.46
It was early in the
morning when we were there,
00:06:08.53\00:06:10.97
some of the students
were cleaning the campus
00:06:11.00\00:06:13.00
before all the
children arrive for classes.
00:06:13.03\00:06:15.70
This school is large
and dates back decades.
00:06:15.74\00:06:18.97
We're so happy our
orphanage is nearby.
00:06:19.01\00:06:22.61
This little van was donated
to the ministry here last,
00:06:22.64\00:06:25.95
probably about 19 months ago
00:06:25.98\00:06:28.25
and they use it for shuttling
the children back and forth.
00:06:28.28\00:06:30.49
Really a blessing,
these people came from America
00:06:30.52\00:06:33.46
and they are an Indian
and they saw the need here
00:06:33.49\00:06:35.86
and they helped
us out with this.
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.36
We headed out to
see the orphanage
00:06:46.63\00:06:48.30
which was about a 20
minute drive from the school.
00:06:48.34\00:06:50.61
One year ago, we
produced a television program
00:07:28.11\00:07:30.45
about this
building that was donated
00:07:30.48\00:07:31.98
to Laymen Ministries,
00:07:32.01\00:07:33.35
how we wanted to
start an orphanage here.
00:07:33.42\00:07:35.35
While the
orphanage is up and running,
00:07:35.38\00:07:36.79
we've added on some of additions
00:07:36.82\00:07:38.89
to the building to be able
to comply with the government.
00:07:38.92\00:07:41.42
And we'd like to
share with you about
00:07:41.46\00:07:42.86
what's happened with
this exciting project
00:07:42.89\00:07:44.79
with the
orphanage here in India.
00:07:44.83\00:07:46.33
These were the
buildings as we receive them
00:08:32.17\00:08:34.28
one year ago,
00:08:34.31\00:08:35.64
in the front is a small church
00:08:35.68\00:08:37.35
and the rest was used
as a community center.
00:08:37.38\00:08:40.12
We added a second story
to comply with the government
00:08:40.15\00:08:42.95
to make the needed space
for running an orphanage.
00:08:42.98\00:08:45.82
The government
officials are praising us
00:08:45.85\00:08:47.92
for our standards.
00:08:47.96\00:08:49.29
Our director Moses
Samuel grew up in an orphanage.
00:08:49.32\00:08:52.39
Here's a little
bit of his story.
00:08:52.43\00:08:55.36
Some Christian people,
they came to our village
00:08:55.40\00:08:58.67
to collect people,
students for their home,
00:08:58.70\00:09:03.97
their newly started orphanage.
00:09:04.04\00:09:06.61
So, I also had an
opportunity to join
00:09:06.64\00:09:11.25
that orphanage home.
00:09:11.28\00:09:14.75
And that is how
I was brought up.
00:09:14.78\00:09:18.62
And when I was
growing in that home,
00:09:18.65\00:09:22.42
I was taught about Jesus Christ,
00:09:22.46\00:09:24.29
His love, His
dedication, His sacrifice.
00:09:24.36\00:09:28.36
And so, in that, my
childhood age itself,
00:09:28.40\00:09:32.67
I had developed an
idea to serve the poor
00:09:32.70\00:09:36.81
when I grew up.
00:09:36.84\00:09:38.41
So, I have been
doing this service,
00:09:38.44\00:09:42.04
I have been doing this
service for about 25 years.
00:09:42.08\00:09:48.58
After school was
dismissed that afternoon,
00:09:48.62\00:09:50.99
the students return
back to the orphanage.
00:09:51.02\00:09:54.16
Prayer is made a
center part of their lives.
00:09:54.19\00:09:56.66
We were excited
about meeting the children
00:10:00.90\00:10:02.80
and we found out
00:10:02.83\00:10:04.17
they were
excited about meeting us,
00:10:04.23\00:10:06.00
but before we could
get to know each other
00:10:06.03\00:10:08.14
they had responsibilities.
00:10:08.17\00:10:09.97
They have to put
their backpacks away
00:10:10.01\00:10:12.17
and prepare for
their afternoon chores.
00:10:12.21\00:10:15.08
What's your name? Santosh.
00:10:15.11\00:10:17.51
See, Santosh.
00:10:17.55\00:10:18.88
Each child has a locker,
00:10:23.12\00:10:24.65
tub or bag to hold
their personal belongings.
00:10:24.69\00:10:28.26
They are taught
orderliness, cleanliness,
00:10:28.29\00:10:30.89
and to keep their
things well organized
00:10:30.93\00:10:33.13
and their clothes folded.
00:10:33.16\00:10:35.56
Right now, they have to change
00:10:35.60\00:10:36.93
from their school uniforms
into something more casual.
00:10:37.00\00:10:42.17
These boys had laundry hanging
on top of the main building.
00:10:42.20\00:10:45.31
Before their afternoon
chores, they were given a snack.
00:10:49.54\00:10:52.81
We have a nice clean kitchen
to provide nutritious meals.
00:10:52.85\00:10:56.42
Ruby, Pastor Johnson's wife
00:11:05.13\00:11:07.30
share some special
healthy treats with the boys.
00:11:07.30\00:11:09.96
After their snack,
00:11:20.94\00:11:22.28
they all have their
designated responsibilities.
00:11:22.31\00:11:25.05
Work is essential to
learning good ethics.
00:11:25.08\00:11:27.58
We were told a number of
orphanages in South India
00:11:30.85\00:11:33.52
were recently closed
down due to poor hygiene,
00:11:33.56\00:11:36.99
uncleanly
conditions, and even abuse.
00:11:37.03\00:11:40.76
The government officials told us
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.26
how our facility was one
of the nicest they had seen
00:11:42.30\00:11:45.07
and that we were
doing things the right way.
00:11:45.10\00:11:50.14
Agriculture is a
big part of our plan.
00:11:50.17\00:11:52.67
We had one donor give
money specifically for trees,
00:11:52.71\00:11:55.68
shrubs, and flowers.
00:11:55.71\00:11:57.48
He said he wanted the kids
to have a little taste of Eden
00:11:57.51\00:12:00.32
at our facility.
00:12:00.35\00:12:02.55
All of those
items are now planted.
00:12:02.58\00:12:05.65
We are also preparing to
grow a lot of our own food.
00:12:05.69\00:12:08.79
We find the
children are happiest
00:12:08.82\00:12:10.56
when they have responsibilities.
00:12:10.63\00:12:12.36
Our Director Moses
Samuel shared with us
00:12:17.33\00:12:19.63
the orphanage's
meticulous book-keeping
00:12:19.67\00:12:22.17
and how every
rupee is accounted for.
00:12:22.20\00:12:25.24
He told us government
agencies watch very closely
00:12:25.27\00:12:28.01
the financial
operations of orphanages.
00:12:28.04\00:12:30.65
He showed us
the various licenses
00:12:30.71\00:12:32.58
we had to obtain
00:12:32.61\00:12:33.98
from different
departments of the government.
00:12:34.02\00:12:36.58
Besides running the orphanage
00:12:36.65\00:12:38.02
we have
community outreach programs
00:12:38.05\00:12:40.22
such as tailoring
courses for the poor women
00:12:40.26\00:12:42.52
in the local villages
00:12:42.56\00:12:43.99
and computer
classes for the youth.
00:12:44.03\00:12:46.76
These courses are held
at various times of the year
00:12:46.80\00:12:49.16
and draw a lot of
people to our project.
00:12:49.20\00:12:51.47
Sabbath is a
high time for the kids
00:12:58.47\00:13:00.61
as they get to lead
out in worship services.
00:13:00.68\00:13:04.35
Every Sabbath,
adults and children
00:13:04.38\00:13:06.51
from local villages
come here to worship God.
00:13:06.55\00:13:09.45
We have an interesting mixture
of people, some Adventists,
00:13:09.48\00:13:12.52
some of other Christian
faiths and even some are Hindu.
00:13:12.55\00:13:15.52
Children will
sing a special number.
00:13:24.23\00:13:26.60
The Sabbath school class
is full of young children.
00:13:56.26\00:13:59.87
Sabbath is a special
time for all involved.
00:13:59.90\00:14:02.94
I have three of the boys
00:14:12.65\00:14:14.15
that are staying
here at the orphanage
00:14:14.22\00:14:15.55
and we're going
to go visit a village
00:14:15.58\00:14:18.15
where the mothers
of these boys live,
00:14:18.19\00:14:20.79
and one of the
boys here named Santosh
00:14:20.86\00:14:23.19
and Santosh's mother is
living in a village right now,
00:14:23.22\00:14:27.10
it's kind of an
interesting story
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.43
but we want to just
kind of give you an idea
00:14:28.46\00:14:30.17
where some of the
children have come from
00:14:30.23\00:14:32.33
that are going to
the orphanage here.
00:14:32.37\00:14:33.90
So we're going to
head out right now
00:14:33.94\00:14:35.27
and try to find his
mother if we can do that.
00:14:35.30\00:14:39.21
Okay.
00:14:39.24\00:14:41.24
You're ready.
00:14:41.28\00:14:43.04
We're ready.
00:14:43.08\00:14:44.41
Okay.
00:15:10.71\00:15:13.27
This is supposed
to be the village.
00:15:13.31\00:15:17.28
You ready to get out?
00:15:17.35\00:15:19.68
Are you?
00:15:19.71\00:15:22.68
We are going to try
to find Santosh's mother.
00:15:22.72\00:15:24.85
She had to actually flee
from the village she was in,
00:15:24.89\00:15:27.89
and I'll explain
that in a little bit,
00:15:27.92\00:15:29.62
and she ended up
moving to this area.
00:15:29.66\00:15:33.06
And these two boys are
from this village right here
00:15:33.09\00:15:35.13
and Santosh's mothers
in this village now too.
00:15:35.16\00:15:37.93
When pastor is
trying to get in touch with
00:15:37.97\00:15:39.93
where the mothers at
00:15:40.00\00:15:41.44
because I've read the history
of each one of the children,
00:15:41.47\00:15:43.87
it's really heartbreaking,
00:15:43.91\00:15:45.24
each one of them has
a story of their own.
00:15:45.27\00:15:46.88
Some of the parents have HIV,
00:15:46.94\00:15:49.11
one parent is
illiterate and sick
00:15:49.14\00:15:50.91
and the other parent is dead.
00:15:50.95\00:15:52.55
And with Santosh,
00:15:52.58\00:15:53.92
here his dad was a professional
coconut tree climber
00:15:53.98\00:15:56.85
and he was climbing
up on a coconut tree
00:15:56.89\00:15:58.89
and fell out of the tree
and landed on some power lines
00:15:58.92\00:16:01.89
and he was
electrocuted and killed,
00:16:01.92\00:16:04.16
and the sad thing was is that
00:16:04.19\00:16:06.23
when the news got
back to the village
00:16:06.26\00:16:08.43
where his father
was from that his mother
00:16:08.46\00:16:11.57
and the children had
to flee from the village
00:16:11.60\00:16:13.37
because the villagers
were going to ransack the house
00:16:13.44\00:16:15.47
and take all their
personal possessions
00:16:15.50\00:16:16.84
because the father was dead,
00:16:16.91\00:16:18.37
so she had to
flee from the area.
00:16:18.41\00:16:21.18
It turned out why did it happen
as his mother got in touch
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.88
with an Adventist pastor somehow
00:16:23.95\00:16:25.58
and they found out
about our orphanage
00:16:25.61\00:16:27.62
and he became
eligible to actually come here
00:16:27.65\00:16:31.25
and go to our school, so he's
going to have an opportunity,
00:16:31.29\00:16:33.96
all these children are
going to have an opportunity
00:16:33.99\00:16:36.29
to be able to
have a much better life
00:16:36.32\00:16:38.56
because they're going to
be able to have an education
00:16:38.59\00:16:41.00
and they're
going to have somebody
00:16:41.03\00:16:42.36
who cares for
them, takes care of them,
00:16:42.40\00:16:43.83
and it's a lot of
really hopeless situations here
00:16:43.87\00:16:47.77
in India and this, their stories
00:16:47.80\00:16:49.20
are just a fraction
of the kind of stories
00:16:49.24\00:16:51.31
that happen in some of
these remote village areas.
00:16:51.34\00:16:54.74
So let's go see if
we can find your mom.
00:16:54.78\00:16:57.85
This is where your
mother's been living?
00:16:57.88\00:16:59.21
Here?
00:16:59.25\00:17:00.65
Santosh just found
his mom pastor's bringer
00:17:03.32\00:17:06.09
and he hasn't
seen her for a while.
00:17:06.12\00:17:09.26
Unfortunately the
mother's illiterate,
00:17:09.29\00:17:11.46
it's really common in
a lot of these villages.
00:17:11.49\00:17:13.29
Some of the students
00:17:13.33\00:17:14.63
when they came to the orphanage,
00:17:14.66\00:17:16.00
they were illiterate too
00:17:16.03\00:17:17.37
and already they're
starting to learn how to speak,
00:17:17.40\00:17:18.87
not only how to
read and write in Tamil,
00:17:18.90\00:17:21.90
but they're
speaking some English.
00:17:21.94\00:17:24.64
This is his mom.
00:17:24.67\00:17:27.31
Got a chance to meet her.
00:17:27.38\00:17:31.68
How are you?
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.05
Nice to meet you.
00:17:33.08\00:17:34.82
This is your boy, huh?
00:17:34.85\00:17:36.42
Yeah, are you happy that
Santosh is going to our school?
00:17:36.45\00:17:40.86
She says she is very happy.
00:17:46.53\00:17:48.46
Oh, good.
00:17:48.50\00:17:51.93
So where are you living now?
00:17:51.97\00:17:56.27
Okay, you want
to go to your house?
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.51
Okay.
00:17:58.54\00:18:00.31
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:18:00.34\00:18:02.64
Just rented the house, huh.
00:18:02.68\00:18:04.01
How old are your
sisters, Santosh?
00:18:07.68\00:18:10.35
How old are your sisters?
00:18:10.42\00:18:11.95
Eleven. Eleven years. Very good.
00:18:16.26\00:18:19.06
Are they twins?
00:18:19.09\00:18:22.16
Seven and nine.
00:18:22.20\00:18:23.97
Are they here?
00:18:27.77\00:18:30.61
Let's go back.
00:18:30.64\00:18:31.97
Your sister? Yes.
00:18:35.48\00:18:37.55
Hi, I'm Jeff.
00:18:37.58\00:18:40.92
How are you? I'm fine.
00:18:40.95\00:18:42.65
Yeah. Hello.
00:18:42.68\00:18:44.52
How are you?
00:18:44.55\00:18:48.69
My sister. Your sister, huh?
00:18:48.72\00:18:51.16
That's pretty good that
you got to see your sister.
00:18:51.19\00:18:53.93
Little sister. This is
the little sister here?
00:18:54.00\00:18:56.87
You are the
little sister? I'm Jeff.
00:18:56.93\00:18:59.60
How are you?
I'm fine. Thank you.
00:18:59.63\00:19:02.20
Welcome. Nice to meet you.
00:19:02.24\00:19:06.91
A lot of these
houses belong to people
00:19:06.94\00:19:08.28
who would have more money
that are working in Chennai
00:19:08.31\00:19:10.31
and so she's
caretaking this house right now
00:19:10.38\00:19:13.05
and this is not her house.
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.38
A lot of these other
houses belong to people
00:19:15.42\00:19:17.15
who apparently go
up to the bigger cities
00:19:17.22\00:19:19.15
and get employment,
00:19:19.19\00:19:20.72
so it opens up
opportunities for people
00:19:20.79\00:19:22.52
who don't have much
money to be able to caretake
00:19:22.56\00:19:24.93
and have rent for
really cheap, so...
00:19:24.96\00:19:27.86
Hi, I like your flowers.
00:19:31.30\00:19:35.30
So let's have a word of prayer.
00:19:35.34\00:19:38.81
And then we're going to...
00:19:38.84\00:19:40.18
Are we going to try to
find the other boys' mothers?
00:19:40.21\00:19:43.04
Yes. Okay.
00:19:43.08\00:19:44.41
Pastor, would you like to
pray or you want me to pray?
00:19:44.45\00:19:46.25
Okay. You pray.
00:19:46.28\00:19:47.82
Okay, I'll pray.
00:19:47.85\00:19:50.09
Father in heaven,
Lord, we just thank you
00:19:50.12\00:19:51.52
for this opportunity to be here.
00:19:51.55\00:19:53.46
Next we're trying to
locate the mother of Ajay Raja
00:20:16.91\00:20:19.68
who is ten years old.
00:20:19.71\00:20:21.62
Some of these children
are what we call semi-orphans.
00:20:21.65\00:20:24.59
They have lost a father
00:20:24.62\00:20:26.05
and the mother is not
able to care for the child,
00:20:26.09\00:20:28.26
or in some cases both parents
00:20:28.29\00:20:30.13
while living are not
able to care for the child.
00:20:30.19\00:20:32.63
We're trying to
find the other boy's mom.
00:20:38.70\00:20:41.20
He's saying that she
lives somewhere in this area.
00:20:41.24\00:20:44.14
This area is pretty interesting,
00:20:44.17\00:20:45.51
there's a lot of
churches all over,
00:20:45.54\00:20:49.31
the old colonial style churches
00:20:49.34\00:20:50.81
because the Scottish and British
00:20:50.88\00:20:52.38
made them back in 1800s,
00:20:52.41\00:20:55.45
early 1900s trying to
Christianize this area
00:20:55.48\00:20:57.85
so there's quite a
number of different
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.45
Christian Tamil
people in this area.
00:20:59.49\00:21:01.96
And then you
drive down the highway,
00:21:01.99\00:21:03.36
you come to an area
where there'd be like
00:21:03.43\00:21:04.76
an enclave of Muslims
00:21:04.79\00:21:06.46
and then another
area would the Hindus.
00:21:06.49\00:21:10.43
See, if we can
find this boy's mom,
00:21:10.47\00:21:12.27
the story of this boy's mother
00:21:12.30\00:21:13.64
and father that
we're going to...
00:21:13.70\00:21:15.44
we're finding right now.
00:21:15.47\00:21:16.81
The father died of
AIDS, HIV positive.
00:21:16.87\00:21:20.24
The father died
when he was 8 years old.
00:21:20.28\00:21:24.21
And the mother is there,
00:21:24.25\00:21:25.58
she is working for
a pharmaceutical shop.
00:21:25.61\00:21:29.65
And she doesn't have any house,
00:21:29.68\00:21:33.32
she's living with her mother,
00:21:33.36\00:21:36.93
he's an only boy.
00:21:36.99\00:21:40.20
And the boy's
name is? Ajay Raja.
00:21:40.26\00:21:42.80
Ajay's mother, okay.
00:21:42.83\00:21:45.40
Where they able to
get in touch with her?
00:21:45.43\00:21:47.27
Yeah. Okay. So she's coming?
00:21:47.30\00:21:48.94
Yeah, she's coming.
00:21:48.97\00:21:50.34
The boy's father died from HIV
00:21:53.41\00:21:57.71
and so the mother now
is living with her mother
00:21:57.75\00:22:01.98
and can barely
provide for herself
00:22:02.02\00:22:05.02
let alone provide for,
taking care of the kids.
00:22:05.05\00:22:08.42
She came. Hi.
00:22:08.46\00:22:11.26
Are you Ajay's mom?
00:22:11.29\00:22:14.20
Give you kind of an
idea where they live here.
00:22:14.20\00:22:18.33
This is the rented
house for the mother,
00:22:18.37\00:22:22.37
Ajay's mother, Ajay's grandma.
00:22:22.40\00:22:25.94
So she's living with her mother.
00:22:25.97\00:22:28.38
Okay, for protection.
00:22:28.41\00:22:30.61
She's a lady,
single lady, husband died,
00:22:30.65\00:22:34.28
so she cannot live alone.
00:22:34.32\00:22:36.18
So she is
living with the mother.
00:22:36.22\00:22:39.25
Does she have other
children? No. Only one.
00:22:39.29\00:22:41.72
Just only Ajay, and
the father died of AIDS.
00:22:41.76\00:22:46.80
Before he went to the home,
he was an undisciplined boy.
00:22:46.86\00:22:52.10
What was he doing?
00:22:52.13\00:22:54.07
He was going street by street.
00:22:54.10\00:22:57.37
He's kind of running around?
00:22:57.44\00:22:58.77
Yeah, he was
running and by cycle
00:22:58.81\00:23:01.18
he used to go
around the streets.
00:23:01.21\00:23:03.08
And making bad friends.
00:23:03.11\00:23:04.81
Using abusive words.
00:23:04.85\00:23:06.28
And she says, "He
was using abusive words,
00:23:09.32\00:23:13.69
bad words, and filthy words. "
00:23:13.76\00:23:18.29
And now, he's very good now.
00:23:18.33\00:23:22.30
And he's obeying the mother.
00:23:22.33\00:23:27.04
Earlier they say...
00:23:27.10\00:23:28.90
She says that she didn't believe
00:23:36.08\00:23:38.05
that this boy
will become like this.
00:23:38.08\00:23:41.22
She says when he
was one-year old,
00:23:41.25\00:23:44.25
his father died,
her husband died.
00:23:44.29\00:23:47.72
And Ajay had a
problem where he had to have
00:23:47.76\00:23:49.56
a tracheotomy
done on his throat.
00:23:49.59\00:23:51.93
Four years, when he was
four years old, he had...
00:23:51.96\00:23:54.23
Had the tracheotomy? Yes.
00:23:54.30\00:23:58.20
Now when he grow,
everything the doctor said,
00:23:58.23\00:24:00.84
when he grow,
everything will be all right.
00:24:00.87\00:24:02.54
So it's slowly healing
up here, still small hole?
00:24:02.57\00:24:05.37
Yeah.
00:24:05.41\00:24:06.78
That is why he has a
bandage on his neck right here,
00:24:06.81\00:24:08.68
is because he had
a tracheotomy done.
00:24:08.71\00:24:11.91
Ajay, Ajay's a
really good thumb wrestler.
00:24:11.95\00:24:14.32
Watch this. Shake hands.
00:24:14.35\00:24:16.12
Could you corner? Okay, go.
00:24:16.15\00:24:18.42
Go on, let's do it.
00:24:18.45\00:24:19.89
You got me.
00:24:24.23\00:24:28.00
So, now, we're gonna
try to find his mother?
00:24:28.03\00:24:29.90
Yeah. Okay.
00:24:29.93\00:24:31.87
Dear Father in heaven...
00:24:35.37\00:24:37.64
Okay, it's nice
meeting you, ma'am.
00:24:37.67\00:24:40.38
God bless you.
00:24:40.44\00:24:41.78
We were now going to
visit the parents of Jaigeeth.
00:24:55.52\00:24:59.56
The father has polio
00:24:59.59\00:25:01.26
and the mother
recently had open heart surgery.
00:25:01.30\00:25:03.77
Hello, nice to meet you.
00:25:09.87\00:25:12.21
Good evening.
00:25:12.24\00:25:13.58
This family had no
idea we were coming
00:25:18.28\00:25:20.32
and I'm sure they were wondering
00:25:20.35\00:25:21.68
what this visit was about.
00:25:21.72\00:25:24.45
I found out that the only income
00:25:24.49\00:25:26.35
this family has comes
from the raising a poultry.
00:25:26.39\00:25:29.22
It was explained to the
family that we were there
00:25:36.63\00:25:39.00
to better
understand the circumstances
00:25:39.03\00:25:41.14
as to why the
children are in our orphanage.
00:25:41.17\00:25:44.17
So, was it a difficult choice
00:25:44.21\00:25:46.31
to have him come
to the boy's home?
00:25:46.34\00:25:50.61
Pastor Johnson translates for us
00:25:50.65\00:25:52.48
and explains the
circumstances of this family.
00:25:52.51\00:25:55.65
We have a strict
examination process
00:25:55.68\00:25:58.25
on what children
qualify to attend our orphanage.
00:25:58.29\00:26:01.72
Right, Pastor
Johnson, you get to sit there.
00:26:01.76\00:26:03.46
Oh, there we go.
00:26:25.41\00:26:27.02
She even taught him how to
hug. She wants to give a hug.
00:26:27.05\00:26:30.22
When I look at
the life of the boys
00:26:48.74\00:26:50.17
that are here at this orphanage,
00:26:50.21\00:26:51.81
I often wonder what
would be the future for them
00:26:51.84\00:26:54.58
if it wasn't for the
fact that we're giving them
00:26:54.61\00:26:56.58
the opportunity
for a place to live
00:26:56.61\00:26:59.38
and a good Christian education.
00:26:59.41\00:27:01.48
Moses who is our director here,
00:27:01.52\00:27:03.65
actually grew
up in an orphanage,
00:27:03.72\00:27:05.05
and one of his best
friends from that orphanage
00:27:05.09\00:27:06.89
is our graphic
designer today doing the design
00:27:06.92\00:27:09.62
for the Amazing
Facts Bible lessons
00:27:09.66\00:27:11.09
and a lot of the books
and things that we publish.
00:27:11.13\00:27:13.53
What we'd really like to do
is move the existing kitchen
00:27:13.56\00:27:15.96
that's downstairs
to the upper floor
00:27:16.00\00:27:17.70
by adding on to it,
00:27:17.73\00:27:19.07
and then we can
put a proper cafeteria
00:27:19.10\00:27:20.97
and kitchen on the upper story.
00:27:21.00\00:27:22.80
That way we could use the space
00:27:22.84\00:27:24.37
in the lower part
for girls' dormitory.
00:27:24.41\00:27:27.48
Next year, we really
hope that we can report to you
00:27:27.51\00:27:30.05
that we have 16
young boys and girls here
00:27:30.08\00:27:33.18
having a stable home environment
00:27:33.21\00:27:35.42
and providing a
Christian education for them.
00:27:35.45\00:27:37.52
If you'd like to get involved
00:27:37.59\00:27:39.19
