Little Lambs Orphanage

The Little Lambs Orphanage, in Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India was started in 2000 by Joshva Karem and Esther Karem.  They started the orphanage with the goal of taking many of the abandoned children in their town and providing them with food, clothing, shelter, education, and most importantly, the Gospel message. Vizianagaram (Map) is a very poor area in southern India, located on the southeast coast of the country.  May the name of Jesus be glorified in the ministry of the Karem family to these children, and may the Lord bless them for the work that they are doing in sharing the Gospel to those who would otherwise have no hope.         Wayne McClellan and Steve Wingfield with Esther and Lambs - 9/24/09

• Joshva Karem accepted at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.  Joshva was accepted as an international student in May of 2009 to attend GCTS starting in the fall of 2010.  He will be pursuing his MDiv in Theology with a focus on World Missions.   Joshva also applied for a full international scholarship, which will be the only way he can attend.  The committee who grants these scholarships will be meeting the week of Jan 24th, 2010, to determine who will receive the scholarship.  Only 3 per year are granted.  Please keep this in your prayers.  If Joshva can study in the US full time, this will also give him the opportunity to raise awareness about their ministry and hopefully generate some additional sponsors and finances for the orphanage.

• Little Lambs Mission Trip - September 21st - October 6th, 2009

  Steve Wingfield and Wayne McClellan have returned from their Mission Trip to visit Joshva and Esther.  They had a great trip and did a presentation of their trip during the Sunday Evening Service on Oct 11.  The children\ and Esther and Joshva are all doing well.  There are some immediate needs that the orphanage could use for some improvements to the facility.  Below is a list of some of those needs.  Please be in prayer for these that God would make a way for all of these to be met.  One of the highlights of the trip was teaching the orphans how to sing the first stanza of Amazing Grace in English.  Please view the You Tube Links below to see the video.
