Daya Girls Home expands kitchen and Dining hall	Nabini and Ahori	Paul and Sanum Chaudre

We are excited to announce the opening of Daya Girls Home in western Nepal.  The first two girls have arrived

In Partnership with AS Nepal (ServLife’s registered NGO in Nepal working with children) Daya Girls Home is being started in western Nepal. The vision for the home is out of the heart of Udaya and his wife, Bhakti who have a deep compassion for the children of Nepal.  The conversation to begin this home has been going on for over five years.

Paul  and Sanum Chaudre will run the home with their two own children. 

The vision of the home is to grow to 10 girls.   The children are all from some of the poorest districts (Jumla, Humla, Mugu, Dailekh, Accham) in the poorest section of Nepal, the hills and mountains of Nepal’s northwest. This area has annual food shortages (USAID and UN food drops are regular) and commonly experience outbreaks of preventable but rapid moving illnesses such as diarrhea. The girls are currently cared for by neighbors or distant relatives. Read the rest of this entry »

A few things were crystal clear to me the very first time I met Joel Vestal. For one, I knew right away that he cared deeply about the people of the world and was burdened about the injustice, poverty and spiritual darkness that were a way of life for so many. I also knew in that first encounter that Joel was not waiting for permission from anybody to do something to help them, especially given the fact that Jesus had already entrusted to him the mission of communicating His love and kindness to them in tangible ways.

Hindu extremists allegedly from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh damaged a church building and installed an idol of the Hindu god Hanuman inside it on May 23, 2010 in Tadipatri, Anatapur, Andhra Pradesh.

Extremists from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) attacked India Pentecostal Church’s Holy Spirit Prayer House, which was under construction.  Pastor Venugopal  approached Tadipatri police, but officers refused to help him. After local Christian leaders’ intervention, police questioned the attackers.  Area Christian leaders maintained that Pastor Reddy had acquired government permission to build the church building.

Here in America we have a certain dislike for door-to-door salesmen. They tend to disrupt dinner, invade the personal space of our homes, and convince us to buy things that we really never needed to begin with. In Nepal, this salesman pictured here is selling the people maybe one of the most important things they will every buy. He is selling them their gods. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s hard to imagine living in a country with no religious freedoms. It’s even harder to imagine the foundation of that country based on Hindu beliefs and systems, with leaders who oppose and persecute Christians and their beliefs. Imagine, though, an opportunity to revisit and revise those original documents that have barred the Gospel from reaching the people’s hearts for so many years. Nepal, a country that has operated on traditional Hinduism for years, is meeting to create a new constitution. All twenty-five political parties are involved, as well as a new and somewhat surprising committee founded three years ago. Read the rest of this entry »

A total of 5 small churches recently donated $550 USD towards ServLife’s work in Haiti. The church in Thailand is small and this was a great example and model of sacrificial giving and witness.

ServLife has been working in southern Thailand since the Tsunami hit in Dec. 2004, view images of our work there. In our efforts to help these victims have an opportunity to live life with a sense of dignity and have the means to provide for their basic needs, ServLife began the Hope Fund in Thailand to give out small loans to unemployed and under-employed people in the region.

A management committee, comprised of members of the local church and the community, was then created in 2006 to manage the Hope Fund in Thailand. Ownership of the fund has since been handed over and has been run by the Thai people in the community. Read the rest of this entry »

Looking at the big picture can be overwhelming. Hundreds of thousands of people dead. Approximately 300,000 injured. A million homeless. Mass graves. Looters. People desperate for a roof over their heads and some food. How do we even begin to make a difference in the wake of such a tragedy as the earthquake in Haiti? It seems nearly impossible to even scratch the surface of their needs when looking at them as a whole. But these are individual people. These are children who need parents, parents who need food, friends who need medical care. These are people who need us to reach out our hand and help them, one by one. Read the rest of this entry »

The ServLife Hope Fund is our micro-enterprise initiative for the unemployed and under-employed of the world who suffer from hunger, poverty and malnutrition. We believe that the ServLife Hope Fund is a strategic way to help people escape the trappings of poverty and hunger.

We always work to create relationships with the local church and community so that those who receive the loans know that the local church, no matter how small, is concerned for the community. We believe this opens doors and builds trust for sharing faith and relationship.

The following report is from a village in Nepal where a Hope Fund was started:

“Hope Fund loans not only help people get started from the ground up, but also helps those who are coming from behind. Mina comes from the Magar ethnic group, the most common group in this area of the Himalayan foothills. Being from this group in no way translates affluence. Read the rest of this entry »
