Why We Press On
Why We Press On “Aasi always knew that God was holy and that everyone is a sinner, but she thought God couldn’t forgive us. She was excited when she was told that even though we are sinners, God loves us and does not want us to die. He wants to forgive us, and this is our chance in life to be saved and follow Him as a child of God. Aasi explained that her father loved her a lot and how wonderful it is to be a child of God, as she knows how it is for a father to love his children.”

“I love to know that I am a child of God. I’ll regularly read the Word of God and pray.”

This will really help us to ensure that the pupils and teachers are well protected from COVID-19. Thank you for your continued support and may the Almighty God bless you.”

“Receive my greetings hoping that you are fine. I would like to tell you that like my fellow pupils, I’m so grateful for the masks and the thermo guns that you have provided us with. We can monitor our temperature and cover our mouths and nose in order to protect ourselves from Corona Virus. We can now attend our classes better. Thank you and God bless you for helping us.”

Why We Press On “I really enjoyed being a part of the Asia trip, going to India and Bangladesh. Bookending the trip with Mother Teresa’s home and the Rohingya refugee camp was powerful. Mother Teresa’s home was very humbling, knowing these folks had been left there to die. The ladies just begging for a touch made my heart melt. The Rohingya refugee camp was indescribable. Having seen previous videos and testimonies, it still was hard for me to absorb. The overall conditions, from the number of people to the small huts they lived in, were just hard to fathom. Also, the number of other relief agencies working there was tremendous. I was grateful that we were able to give out FtH meals to 1,152 families! God challenged me as we experienced this culture and area of the world as outsiders.”

Holy Palace Christian Center (HPCC) in India has started a new piggery and goat farming project. This project will equip local families through business ownership, participation in the marketing chain, and involvement in the HPCC community. The 24 families have been carefully selected to raise the 96 goats and piglets. Animal care support providers will be caring for the health of all the breeding animals during the project. These providers will make periodic and on-call visits to the new farmers’ animals.
“The goal is to serve the truly poverty-stricken and marginalized people of the society through quality improvement in employment and thereby better income generation. The total well-being of the family is where Holy Palace can intervene with the good news of Jesus Christ that leads to transformation.”
