Once again we welcome you to FEA worship service. Let us worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. May His name be glorified today.
The organization called Compassion International (CI) which helps 147,000 children through sponsorship may be forced to leave India by March. This is due to the new application of the Contribution Regulation Act which has hindered the organization from sending funds to more than 500 local child development projects in the nation. Compassion International was founded in 1952 to lift children throughout the world from the pit of poverty.
In an update to the Christian Post, President and CEO of Compassion Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado said, “We are broken-hearted that the Indian government has put us in a position where we may be forced to close our doors in India. We are praying for a solution that allows us to continue working with our 580-plus churches to provide our holistic child development program to more than 147,000 children.”
The organization has been asking over 500,000 of its supporters to write to their congressperson in the U.S. to ask for intervention in the matter, but so far there has been little progress in its cause. But Compassion spokesperson Becca Bishop said that there is hope that local churches will be able to continue helping the children.
It is believed that Modi’s government has been influenced by a Hindu nationalist atmosphere that encourages violence against believers. Last year, there was a rise in Hindu radical attacks against Christians in the country, with many of them going unpunished. There were at least 134 attacks on Christians in the first half of the year alone, compared with 147 in all of 2014 and 177 in 2015.
A ministry leader told Christian Post in November that many Indian citizens oppose charitable works in the country if the Christian message is attached to such endeavors.”They only prefer the pure social works of the Christians. If the Gospel is attached or made part of it, they object and do anything to stop it,” the ministry leader added.
Let us pray for these children who are in need of help; pray for God to intervene and make a way for new doors to open.
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight

The Books of the Bible in a Story.
I went to *Genesis* hotel through *Exodus* road. On the way, I saw *Leviticus* recording the *Numbers* of people at *Deuteronomy*, while *Joshua* was waiting at the Beautiful gate for *Judges* to see *Ruth* calling loudly *”Samuel*, *Samuel*. At a stage, the *First and Second Kings* of *Chronicles 1 & 2,* were coming to visit *Ezra*, *Nehemiah* and *Esther* for the misfortune of *Job* their brother. They started singing *Psalms* and teaching children *Proverbs* concerning *Ecclesiastes* and *Songs of Solomon*. This coincided with the period that *Isaiah* was engaged in *Jeremiah’s* *Lamentations* together with *Ezekiel and Daniel* their friends. By that time, *Amos* and *Obadiah* were not around. Three days later, *Hosea*, *Joel* and *Jonah* travelled in the same ship with *Micah* and *Nahum* to Jerusalem. *Habakkuk* then visited *Zephaniah* who introduced him to *Haggai* a friend of *Zechariah* whose cousin is *Malachi*.
Immediately after the tradition, *Mathew, Mark, Luke and John* got involved in *Acts* of the *Romans* who were behaving like the *1st Corinthians* group because the *2nd Corinthians* group were always at loggerheads with the *Galatians*. At that time too, they realized that the *Ephesians* and *Philippians* were close to the *Colossians*, and a suggestion for the *First Thessalonians* visit was made, and that on their *Second Thessalonians* visit, they should first of all see the *First and Second of the Timothy* brothers who had gone to the house of *Titus* to teach *Philemon* his younger brother how to read and write in *Hebrew*. On hearing this, *James* asked *Peter* twice to explain to him how the *Three Johns* have disclosed to *Jude* the *Revelations* of this journey.
