Dad left home before newborn son was born

Sibirah's husband deserted her before she gave birth to their first son.
	Dear friend, Sibirah's husband Jairus left home before he even saw his newborn son's face. His addiction to alcohol left him hardened to the needs of his family, even after much pleading from his pregnant wife. Tensions eventually exploded in one final argument. Sibirah was now a single mother, left with hospital bills to pay and nothing to support herself and her new baby, Rajdev. But these weren't the only troubles she faced. Read her full story "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." — Isaiah 41:10 VIDEO: "She Is a Dalit" She is a Dalit. She is rejected by society. She is seen as untouchable. She has little in life and little hope of a better life. GFA-supported Bridge of Hope centers are here to bring hope to her and other children like her.

Yohannan says. "Why? Because their desire is to enjoy their walk with the Lord, families, church fellowships, seminars and conferences without such a painful interruption." Read more from K.P.

Chapter by chapter, he gently confronts us with truth that few others are willing to say—truth that leads to the abundant life we so desire. Download your free copy.
