Send Hope Now

Meet Hussein Bhai, a member of our Leprosy Colony in Bargur. Hussein was a tailor in Dharmapuri when at the age of 20, he contracted leprosy. Shortly after, he came to us and has been with us ever since.

In 2015 he developed gangrene in his knee. The infection became so severe that the leg below his knee had to be amputated. Send Hope Now was able to help him with the cost of the operation and bless him with special shoes and a walker to aid him in his rehabilitation.

Hussein is just one of the many lives changed by your generous giving to the beautiful people of India.

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

James 1:2-4

Guna, our director in India, asked for prayer for the following:

We recently brought in 5 girls off of the streets. They had all been abused in some way, and one is in the hospital with COVID-19. Please pray for God's love to penetrate through the horrible darkness they've experienced and pray for their physical health.

Please pray for Guna's son Ulrich. He is still very sick and mostly bedridden at home. Guna depends on him for the day-to-day decisions of the ministry, so this has added a considerable burden to Guna's work.

Guna & his wife Victoria have lost five very close Christian friends and relatives to COVID recently. Pray for the widows of these men, as they are now without income.

Pray for another dear worker from one of the Homes who is seriously ill in the hospital with COVID.

Pray for strength and good health for the entire team in India as they go into places where others won't go to help and share Jesus with the least of these.

Inside India's COVID Hell

Send Hope Family, we do not have a relationship with Vice but we wanted to share this documentary-style video with you to reveal the current conditions in India. We ask that you continue to pray for those affected by this second wave of the virus.

As the second wave of COVID continues to devastate India we continue to ask and thank you for your prayer and support. But we wanted to take a moment to tell you about our partner FiftyTwo.Four and how you can get involved with them.

FiftyTwo.Four has been a partner with Send Hope Now for the past 13 years. They are a very dedicated group of runners and walkers who run with a purpose much greater than themselves.

They run (or walk:) 4 half marathons in 4 weeks to raise funds and awareness for the really special kids suffering with HIV/AIDS in India. When you join their team, you get to change lives by doing something as simple as running or walking. They give you the tools to fundraise and have group training and support available for all ages and ability levels.

The team becomes family as they run, walk, train, & fundraise together. Over the past 13 years, they have raised over $1,100,000 for the children suffering with HIV/AIDS in India. Pretty amazing right?!! Their 2020 team raised over $145,000!

FiftyTwo.Four just began their 2021 spring training. Their final information meeting is June 14th at the Bledsoe Barn and registration closes July 15th. If you would like to register to walk/run or just want to learn more, go to FiftyTwo.Four's website https://fiftytwofour.org/.

COVID Relief:
India is experiencing a second wave of the Corona Virus. This wave has been even more devastating than the first. A couple of months ago, India was down to 11,000 new cases per day. In the past couple of weeks, the infection rate has risen rapidly to almost 400,000 new cases a day.

Our director in India described what life looks like right now for the people of India. Currently, a stay-at-home order is in place. People are only allowed to leave their homes between 6 am and 10 am to purchase food and other necessities. However, our team in India has special permission from local authorities to travel and provide meals and medical support to those in their community.

Below are some of the needs presented by our team in India that you can support:

At present, around 10 of our pastors have had COVID-19. We want to raise support to reimburse them for their medical bills.

With the number of deaths in India right now, the hospitals are not releasing bodies to people to bury. However, the Lord has given us a special blessing to receive and bury the bodies of believers. We want to raise support to honor those who passed properly

As we did last year, we would like to support HIV/AIDS-infected families, lepers, and poverty-stricken families. We will provide food/grocery for about 3,000 families for 2 months in 10 states of India.

Dear Send Hope Now family,

We will be giving more updates in the coming days about what is currently happening in India and how you can support them during this wave of the virus, but we wanted to take the time today to thank you for your giving in 2020 towards COVID relief and share with you a couple of the incredible things that God did in India during the first wave of the pandemic.

Last year during the pandemic, we worked with the local police department in India to identify the most vulnerable and poverty-stricken communities and provided five different slums with food and daily necessities. We did the same for many HIV-infected families and almost 500 lepers and their families.

Hundreds of migrant workers became jobless and were unable to return home as many regular forms of transportation were shut down. With special permission from the City Railways Station as many of these work sees slowly returned home by train we were able to provide food and water for the displaced workers for almost 50 days.

We supported our community workers by reimbursing them for their COVID-related medical fees and bills. We also helped fund funeral expenses of members of their congregations.

Our community workers and staff spent time in the slums offering psychological support to people who were impacted negatively by the pandemic. They provided sanitation supplies and masks and helped residents clean their living spaces.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting the beautiful people of India in 2020!
