Sharon Tailoring Center_ Graduation Service

It was a heart touching moment when one after another 5 ladies received their graduation certificate and stitching machines on 15th January 2012. They completed their 6 months free stitching course from Sharon Tailoring center Vijayawada. These ladies, having no other job, were sitting at home and had no other way of learning a skill or earning a money. They heard about the free tailoring course offered by FREE TO BE KIDS in Vijayawada. They talked about it to their family men’s. All of them agreed with this idea and willfully they sent their wives to learn this skill. Coming to the tailoring center was an heart touching moment for them. The atmosphere and behavior of the other trainees and the teacher Deena has touched their hearts. All of them were very much thankful to the Lord for granting such a good fellowship.

They doesn't have to move out somewhere to find the job but being at home they can earn some money and can support the family. Please do continuous prayer for these graduates that God may bless them and their family that their dreams may come true and they may prosper.

Boddu Babu sold his business for survival and with that money he built a small house. Though every month he gets a pension of 500/- rupees but that is not enough for them. As we came in contact with him, he requested to Share & Serve Charitable trust that if it helps him to set up a small shop his financial situation will get better.

Drinking Water Project

What would be your mental situation, when people lives around you discourage you? When all the negative words fill your ears and you do not know what is next? Such was the situation in A Koduru village. This Village is highly populated by the Banjara tribes (Nomadians). 60 families are living here. Ps Benjamine could win 25 families from them and all these 25 families are regularly coming to the church services. When we went to dig the bore well in the premises of Ps Benjamin church, as soon as the machineries arrived all the villagers gathered together. Very soon gossips started that it is impossible to get water in this village. They said, “Government efforts were failed for digging a bore well here. You are wasting your money.” The team from Vijayawada was determined, unnoticing these discouraging words, not giving themselves to their thoughts, team began to pray and selected a place to dig the bore well. The digging started, amazingly, very soon at the level of 70ft labors found water, they continued digging up to 100ft. At this level the water gushed out from the pipes. All praises be to the Lord!!! Engineers kept digging and at the level of 135ft they found ceaseless source of water, water was overflowing from the pipes. Every single villager was amazed. Some of them left the place in shame. Few of them began to praise Jesus. They said, “Only Jesus can give water.” It was a great miracle for them. Continue to pray for the village A Koduru. May the people find Jesus through this provision and witness and experience the miracle in their lives too. We thank all the sponcers who helped us in this project. You can also be a part of this Holy endeavors. To help a community with a bore well it will take only 45,000/- rupees (AUD $1000). Every single help you forward is enhancing a life and transforming a community. Rejoice, You will never miss your reward in eternity.
