Charlynn Now in the Arms of Jesus

Baby Charlynn is with Jesus now and in no more pain. She died on June 10th after a brief but exhausting struggle with illness. We are grieved by her passing but know that she is happier with the Lord. Eunice, her housemother, gave her the best care and loving attention possible while she was with us. Please pray for Eunice, as well as the rest of the Ashraya family as we grieve Charlynn's passing.

Civil unrest in West Bengal

Soso is visiting her family and mentioned this prayer concern.
She was stopped on the highway and an angry mob of people threatened to harm them.
By God's grace, they were able to get away.

The Nepalese are asking for a separate "Gorkhaland" from the government and this is causing a riot here in several parts of West Bengal. The advocates of "Gorkhaland" have warned people of an indefinite blockade from 15th of June and asked us to stock up on at least 2 months worth of food. This is going to cause havoc to our vacation and travel schedules. Please pray that it will all work out fine.
