Organizational Statement of Faith: 

My name is Pastor Ratnam and I am from Vellatur, Guntur District, Andrah Pradesh , India .
With God’s help I run an orphanage here in rural India ably supported by my loving wife and a small team. When I started 8 years ago we had no money and only a vision. To start with we housed 3 homeless children in our 1 bed straw hut and now we are able to provide a loving home for 97 children in our orphanage. The area is very poor and many people suffer from AIDS. many of the children have been orphaned because of this. We have also completed many successful missions for the poor and rural people in our area e.g. tsunami re-development. We have done a lot but not enough. It is my mission to be able to house 500 homeless and abandoned children and by the grace of God I will achieve it.
