Sushma and her twin brother were orphaned at the age of three when their mother died of a (possible) drug reaction while receiving minor hospital treatment. Their father died one year earlier from sudden illness. An orphanage had room for a boy, but not a girl, and received the brother. Now, Sushma had lost her whole family at the age of three. A Christian family was willing to care for her, but struggled financially to meet the needs of their own three children. Sushma was received into our sponsorship program to help the family meet her needs. Her parents were Hindu, but Shushma is learning about Jesus in her new family.

Butwal Bethany Baptist Church
Nepal

a ministry partner of Allow The Children

Butwal Bethany Baptist Church is in one of the most difficult areas of Nepal. Maoist rebel fighting breaks out regularly and unpredictably making life very difficult for all. Bethany is a close knit body of believers who love and care for one another, though most are very poor. Sponsors help one child from each family, enabling them to use their remaining resources for the other children. One widow with an infant was in desperate circumstances and even now survives on the sponsorship funds alone. In another case, a son was a top student and eager to learn, but the family could not afford the school fees which rise with each grade level, and were forced to withdraw him until the sponsorship program began. The families include widows and those who have taken in an orphan for care. The blessing and stability which has come through the sponsorship program has helped the church tremendously, answering the prayers of faithful believers in need.
