Problem Statement: During the annual Christmas celebration, a special meal is prepared for the children at the care center to enjoy. This is not just a meal, but also an opportunity for Rahul to share the Christmas story and ultimately the Gospel with all those in attendance.

Objectives: The whole meal will cost $300 and will provide the opportunity for continued fellowship between the staff and children who attend the care center.

After Statement: Despite losing the care center a few weeks before Christmas, God provided a location for the Christmas program so the children could still celebrate.

Problem Statement: Every year, as part of the annual Christmas celebration at the care center, a bounce house is rented for the children.

Problem Statement: A single mom with two daughters, who was already struggling to make ends meet, was met with another hardship when their only vehicle experienced a transmission failure and left them without reliable transportation. After multiple attempts and temporary fixes, they were facing several thousand dollars’ worth of repairs. Due to their financial situation, spending the money to repair the vehicle was not an option.

Objectives: Hearing about this need, The Guthrie Group (tgg) allowed her to borrow the company car, a 2012 Chevy Malibu valued at $6,500, and ultimately donated the vehicle to this deserving family.

After Statement: After a new set of tires and title transfer, this mom was able to get back on the road. “I can honestly say that the Lord DID show His faithfulness in provision by moving on the heart of another believer to bless our family generously, and I am humbled and blessed by this act of kindness and obedience of tgg to be the hands and feet of Jesus to us in our time of need. My prayer is that I can do the same when it is my time to help others as well!”

Problem Statement: Many of the boys in India are living on the street. The Halfway House was designed to be a place of rest, comfort, and peace for these boys.

Objectives: $2,000 will help cover the expenses of the three room house for one year. Not only does this house provide shelter, but it also serves as a place of training for the boys as they learn skills they can develop into businesses.

Problem Statement: During the winter months it gets very cold for children living in a slum community or on the streets. They are not able to afford blankets or proper winter clothing.

Objectives: This grant will help purchase coats and blankets for these children in need.

After Statement: 100 blankets, 50 jackets, and 80 caps were purchased and distributed. "Thank you supporting the Winter Project in India each year as it blesses many children during the cold months."

Problem Statement: During the day in the outpatient clinics doctors often see between 400-500 patients. Each patient comes with 1 or more relatives so there are often more than 1000 people milling around waiting to be seen, or for lab tests. We have several bathrooms in the waiting areas but they are not enough. We would like to build 2 or 3 more. Estimated cost: $2,000.

Objectives: For $2,000 the hospital would be able to build 2 or 3 more bathrooms to accommodate these growing number of patients and visitors.

After Statement: "We have finished 1 of two sets of bathrooms for patients at the Hospital. They are simple, clean, and functional. This isn't the kind of glamour project that makes news headlines, but we, and many people out here sure will appreciate having this."

Problem Statement: The hospital does hundreds of thousands of laboratory tests each year. They have various pieces of equipment that allow them to do tests for far less than what other labs charge and to do them while patients wait. Since travel for many patients is difficult, that we can do the needed tests while they are in the clinic is a great savings for them.

Objectives: Equipment is in constant need of replacing and upgrading. $2,000 will help pay for these much needed upgrades.

After Statement:
