They are orphan and semi orphan children from different caste ,people group  and family back grounds. Most of them have very painful story of how they were raised.  I would share their profile with you later on.  I have attached only one picture due to the dial up connection. I am still having problem with Broadband connection.<br /> <br /> <br />The children  are greatly enjoying their new life and new experiences at the mercy Home. We have got a uniform for all of them as you can see  in the picture. Thanks for your prayers. I would greatly appreciate your continous prayers and blessings for these children. <br /> <br />In His service for the unreached, Biju<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33132506-1536417681779488006?l=jwellnews.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://jwellnews.blogspot.com/2007/08/note-on-mercy-home-from-biju.html\"><br>leave a comment on this post</a></p><p style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #999; margin-bottom: 12px; padding-bottom: 10px\"><big>Update from India</big><br /><span style=\"color: #666\"><small><em>Monday, August 13, 2007</em></small></span><br /><br />Couple of notes from Biju:<br /><br />1. The Mercy Home is open! The first 13 children oved in today and 2 others are coming to fill it up tomorrow. Pictures coming soon. <br /><br />2. There has been severe flooding in Bihar this year. Here is a note from Biju about the situation and needs. <br /><blockquote><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41082000/jpg/_41082451_biharflood203.jpg\"><img style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;\" src=\"http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41082000/jpg/_41082451_biharflood203.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></a>Here is a brief information that I have received from the church planters who have surveyed the flood affected areas  19 districts are  fully or partially affected by the flood. some of the districts ( counties) have lost the road network.  In the Northern part of Bihar, some of the roads are covered with water.<br /> <br />This is the worst flood  the people of Bihar has  experienced in 30 years.<br /> <br />Hundreds and thousands of people have lost their cultivation, homes and other belongings. They are in need of food items , water , medicines and clothes. Some of the people are also in need of  new houses as their houses got collapsed by the flood. the loss is huge.<br /> <br />I visited with one of our board members,  a flood affected area in patna  today and as we were talking to the villagers they told us that the flood destroyed everything they had including the cultivation which could have fed them for four months. atleast 20 houses are fully destroyed and some are still standing with crack.<br /> <br /> <br />the church planters went to one of the ministry fields and they could n\'t go in to the village as the water was above the waste  level.  some people are on the roof or on the trees. people are trying to sleep where ever they can manage to sleep.<br /> <br />we have started analyzing the most needy flood affected area and we would like to do the distribution  by the end of next week<br /> <br /> God willing,  we would like to  meet some of their most urgent needs like food items, water, medicines .<br /> <br /> After we met the immediate needs, we will see whether we can help people with other needs like clothes etc..<br /> <br />Thanks again for your  prayer and the willingness to help with the flood victims. I greatly appreciate it<br /> <br /> with warm regards, Biju</blockquote><div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33132506-7585680854971911542?l=jwellnews.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://jwellnews.blogspot.com/2007/08/update-from-india.html\"><br>leave a comment on this post</a></p><p style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #999; margin-bottom: 12px; padding-bottom: 10px\"><big>Orphanage in Bihar is about to open</big><br /><span style=\"color: #666\"><small><em>Tuesday, July 24, 2007</em></small></span><br /><br />I just got off the phone with Biju who caleld to tell me that the Mercy House (the orphanage we donated towards) is almost complete and that the children should be able to move in the first week of August.
