How your gifts to Lott Carey make God’s love real in Northern India

Lott Carey’s mission partners were there for you when an elderly Indian couple, aged 98 and 96, needed the comforting embrace of those who know a Christ who never, ever leaves us alone.

Within a short, six-month period, Mr. and Mrs. Peters endured the sorrowful death of both of their married sons. This elderly couple then looked to their daughters-in-law, imagining that the widowed wives of their two sons would graciously see to their needs.

Unfortunately, the two newly widowed daughters-in-law were not interested in helping Mr. and Mrs. Peters.

This elderly couple had retired from the working world many years earlier, before India gained its independence from Great Britain. Because their employment history was during those dreadful days of colonial domination, they had never qualified for a pension.

Grieving and destitute, deserted by their sons’ wives, they had nowhere to turn.

But through Lott Carey’s caring mission partners, you were there. You were there, reaching out with compassion and strength. You were there, just as the gracious Jesus whom we meet in the Gospels would surely have been there.

You were there because your generous gifts to Lott Carey allowed the India-based Lott Carey Baptist Mission Charitable Trust to bind up this elderly couple’s broken hearts, wipe away their tears, and begin to provide for their day-to-day needs.

The story of Mr. and Mrs. Peters is just one story among many. Through Lott Carey’s dedicated mission partners in the Delhi area of northern India, you are providing HIV/AIDS education for infected children, critical laboratory services, and even an income-generation project for people living with HIV and AIDS (many of them former squatters from the northwestern edge of Delhi).

In addition, you are providing high-quality primary and secondary education in a Christian environment for about 7,000 students, many of whom are poor or needy or physically challenged in some way.

Finally, you are helping to operate five different residential centers for people suffering for Hansen’s disease (leprosy). In addition to providing a church community that is meaningful for the residents of these centers, you also providing critically important medical services for more than 32,000 patients a year, most of them suffering from ailments related to Hansen’s disease.

Through Lott Carey, you make God’s love real in Northern India — and around the world.
