Children Homes


'Let the children come to me', said Jesus.  That is our singular vision of giving children from difficult circumstances a life time opportunity to connect to the Way, the Truth and the Life. Every child that we care for, has the potential of becoming an agent of change in his village or town, maybe a role model for an entire generation.

“When I came to the home, I had only desire and that was to run away,” told Viram.  It took me three months to settle down and to actually enjoy all that was being done for me.”  Six years later, he had completed his studies and he wanted to do what had been done for him.  So he decided  to come to the Bible College.  After studying for two years, he decided to go back to Kotra to help with the work.  Today, he is the Warden of the same home, where he stayed.  He also is pastoring a church there and overseeing over 18 others who are serving God full time.

One of Viram’s four children is deaf.  “After two children, a son was born to us.  We were delighted but soon we realized that the baby was deaf.  We waited for over four years, thinking that it would go away.  But it stayed. We prayed but it did not change.  I believe that God has set a time for his healing and we are praying and waiting for that moment”  But this does not stop us from going ahead. I am working now to cover every single village in my area and bring Jesus to them in a culturally relevant manner”

Kotra is one of the places where we have a children’s home.  People like Viram make sure that the children that God has entrusted would become true children of God.  Please keep them in your prayers.

NMM has established homes in 16 locations and are caring for hundreds of needy children in these places.
