Most of us know the pleasure of seeing another person enjoy a gift we have given them, particularly the joy and excitement children display even with the most basic or simple gifts. Their eyes light up and big smiles grow on their faces. This is actually a form of stewardship, and from it we have learned that it is truly more blessed to give than to receive.

Each of the children in our Bethania Kids family has a unique background story, and we are blessed as we become their stewards. Some of these children have experienced the loss of family and loved ones due to natural disasters, extended illnesses, abuse of many kinds, rejection, abandonment or fear of isolation before coming to the Bethania Kids family. These cherished children flourish when exposed to the loving kindness offered by our Christ-centered Bethania Kids ministry and dedicated staff members. They are safe, happy and healthy. They learn about and develop a love for Jesus Christ and for one another as they live a new life with Bethania Kids.

The Creative Giving Catalog gives you, your family, or your group a list of specific items that are needed every day by the children and families of Bethania Kids. Some of our friends like to imagine “things” they can recognize being used in our homes and care centers, such food, school supplies, expenses for a month, and so on. Many like to give Christmas gifts such as food for a week ($25) in honor of family members or friends instead of buying gifts for those people. This is a great way to share God’s gifts and to share the Bethania Kids ministry with others!

Please study the attached gift catalog and consider a donation to connect with these precious children and enrich their lives. If you make a donation in honor or memory of a loved one, we will send them an acknowledgement card explaining how your gift helps us nurture and equip the children of India to change their world through Jesus’ love. We hope and pray that you will experience the joy of giving to Bethania Kids ministry, spreading the love of Jesus and making a difference in the lives of these formerly abandoned or needy children. As always, 100% of every donation goes directly to the ministry in India.
