INDIA: Charity Home for Girls

Six of us traveled to India last summer. We went to visit the Charity Home for Girls which our church has supported from the beginning and continues to support. At the home girls whose parents are either unwilling or unable to take care of them are provided simple things - food, clothing, a roof, a bed, and an education. More than those things, Mrs. Spurgeon explains that "each girl leaves here with Jesus and takes Him to their families and their villages!" The girls’ home is a ministry of Mrs. Spurgeon.

Her husband, Dr. D.S. Spurgeon is involved with numerous other ministries. He provides support for indigenous pastors and ministry workers. One other ministry that he does is he translates English Christian books into Tamil. He does this by reading an English book aloud in Tamil while his wife writes it down in Tamil. Then he takes her writings and makes language translation corrections. Once complete the papers are sent to a publisher and then distributed all over southern India. Dr. Spurgeon tells me that "the best translation I have so far done is the translation of the outstanding book My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers. His team has been working very hard and A Boy Meets Luther just came hot off the press.

Recently the girls’ home lost a property they were using as a school study and worship hall. However, we've gotten word that construction of a new building has already begun and Dr. Spurgeon was very kind to include a picture of its progress.
