Igniting Hope - Our Children's Ministry
Giving children hope, a home, and a future in Christ
Our Vision
Our vision is to see every child loved, valued and given the opportunity to flourish. We provide a safe and secure home, nutritious food, clothing and access to healthcare, while nurturing each child in the love of Jesus. We believe every child has a God-given purpose and a hope-filled future, and we are committed to helping them grow in faith, confidence, wisdom and the knowledge that they are deeply loved by God.

Education
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and fulfil the potential God has placed within them. The children receive education from primary school through to high school, following the Indian National Curriculum.
Qualified Christian teachers provide their education in a caring and supportive environment, alongside National Curriculum-approved textbooks and school supplies. Through quality education and the love of Jesus, we seek to equip each child with knowledge, confidence and strong foundations for the future, helping them discover their God-given gifts, purpose and calling.
Life at the Children's Centre
Life at the Children’s Centre is filled with love, laughter, learning and the presence of God. With 50 children sharing life together, we seek to create a warm and nurturing environment where every child knows they are valued, cared for and part of a family.
The children are provided with nutritious meals, a safe place to call home and the opportunity to grow in healthy relationships with one another. Each day brings moments of worship, prayer and discipleship as we encourage the children to know Jesus, grow in their faith and discover the purpose God has placed within them.
There is also plenty of joy and celebration! Birthdays are celebrated, games are played, friendships are formed and special occasions are shared together. Through these everyday moments of life, we pray that each child will experience the joy of belonging, the security of being loved and the hope of a future rooted in Christ.

Intentional Structure
Making Room for Our Children
As the children continue to grow, the need for more space at the Centre has also grown. What began as a dream in April has now become a reality in progress. Part of the existing building, which had reached the end of its useful life, is being renewed and upgraded to provide a better space for the children.
From a God-given vision to planning and now implementation, it is wonderful to see the project taking shape. Completion is expected sometime in August. There are still some finances needed to finish the work, but we are trusting God for His continued provision and are so grateful for every person who is helping make this vision possible.

Christmas Supplies
It is only July, but what better time to think ahead and begin preparing for Christmas at the Children’s Centre?
Christmas is a very special time for the children. It is the only time in the year they receive a new set of clothes, making it a particularly meaningful celebration.
We hope to provide a special Christmas feast for the children, pastors and all those who faithfully serve at the Centre. Our heart is to celebrate together as one family and, if possible, to give each person a small gift as a tangible expression of love and appreciation.
We are asking our prayer warriors to join us in praying for God's provision, and we are also inviting those who feel able to help contribute towards making this Christmas a joyful and memorable celebration for everyone.
The Field needs Rain
The Field needs Rain - Join us in prayer
Only six weeks ago, our team in India ploughed the field and planted more than 1,500 plants, trusting that the monsoon rains would bring the water needed for them to flourish.
But this year, the rains have been unusually delayed and unpredictable, and the field is missing out. The bore is currently producing only enough water to meet the needs of the Children’s Centre, leaving the newly planted crops in need of rain.
So we are calling on our prayer warriors to stand with us!
Please join us in praying for abundant, timely rain over the field, that the rains will come, the crops will take root and flourish, and that this harvest will provide food for the children and family at the Centre.
Lord, we ask You to open the flood gates of heaven. Let the land be refreshed and the seeds we have planted flourish. We trust You for the harvest.
Testimonies
Thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most.
Join us in prayer, believing for the goodness for Our Children.
🙏 Health and Healing
Please pray for good health and protection over all our children. Pray especially for Gousi, who recently underwent surgery to remove tumours from her ear. We thank God for the medical care she received and pray for a complete recovery and restored hearing. Please also pray for Hansika and Architha, who are recovering from a viral fever.
🏠 The New Building
Pray for the successful completion of the building upgrade, which is nearing completion. We are looking forward to the girls moving into their new space, giving them more room and helping us meet the requirements for boys and girls to have greater separation as they grow older.
We invite you to stand with us in prayer for the children of Igniting Hope Children’s Centre and the needs surrounding them. Your prayers are a precious part of the support and covering they receive.
🌱 Rain for the New Field
Please pray for rain for our new field. The monsoon rains have not yet arrived, and the young plants need the water to grow. Changes in the climate are also affecting food supplies, with the cost of some essential foods rising significantly. Pray for timely rain, a good harvest, and God's provision for the children.
💛 Financial Provision
Please pray for God's provision for the ongoing needs of the Children's Centre. At present, we are experiencing a shortfall in finances, and we need sufficient funds to provide the children with what they need on a regular basis, including food, education, healthcare, and daily necessities.
🙏 Above all, pray that each child will know they are deeply loved, protected, and held in the hands of God.
