LIGHT HOUSE – RESCUE CENTER

Rehabilitation of Underprivileged

The Kingdom of God is when you stand for God and rescue the weak and persecuted. Are you seeking The Kingdom of God? The Bible says “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:3 Let’s be wise and Shine like stars in heavens, honor JESUS by helping our brothers and sisters in Christ. JESUS said “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, The KINGDOM prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40

OLD & REJECTED PEOPLE

Old age is suffering for the most. Feebleness and The heart sleep wearily every day. The eyes are weak, the ears are deaf, the strength is disappearing because of weariness of the heart and the mouth is silent and cannot speak. The bone suffers in pain, The rich or the poor, reject their elders, and do not want to carry the burden of those, who once carried them in their hands. These elders are rejected by their families. The problem is aggravated doubly in the case of poor families. In addition to the failing health old people face problems of economic insecurity, isolation, and disregard from the mainstream of young and middle-aged people. It makes them lonely creatures craving attention. Their children find them obsolete and burdensome and they quite often become a subject to abuse, both mental and physical. They are often rejected and thrown out of their homes.

On the other hand, in Pakistan, those people who accept JESUS CHRIST, their muslim families, and Islamic society reject these people. Christians in Islamic countries and the church do not support such people because of the fear of death and attacks, as many times muslim mobs have burnt Christian homes and churches. Even muslim mobs have burnt and killed Christians alive. These people also have no shelter and no emotional support in their sickness or mental depression they suffer. In Pakistan, There is not a single Rescue Home where converted brothers and sisters can live, Who are rejected by their muslim families and Islamic society.

Their Needs

They need shelter, good food, clothing, medical treatment whenever necessary, Good quality toilets, Outgoing and Cultural programs, and excursions like picnics to fill these people’s lives with fun as much as possible. They need emotional assistance and rehabilitation to restore health and normal life. They need people for Cleaning, Laundry, and Cooking.

Our Plans

We request you to stand with us for Christ’s name sake, as Christ says “Whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. (Matthew 25:40)”

We need your assistance to pay rent, buy beds, chairs, kitchen, food, and clothes for them, provide them medical assistance, and staff salaries who will take care of them. Presently, we didn’t have a building so we turned our prayer center into rescue center so we can protect and give shelter to these brothers in Christ. In an Emergency, we shifted them to The Holy Light office. Still, we need assistance to buy new beds and other things, and a person who can cook food and wash clothes at the rescue center.

Since the elderly people of the homes are totally dependent on charity they lack any money even for small things like recharging their mobiles. We have plans to train the willing elders and also want to start a vocational training program for underprivileged women and men by providing them sewing machines, if we get connection and start a sustainable project so we can export our crafts.

In this way, we hope to bring back the smiles and laughter of joy to these elderly grandparents and underprivileged and rejected who have forgotten to smile.

A. J Paul is 54-year-old man, who gave his life to JESUS, when he left his religion, his family rejected him and disowned him from his all property. He lived hungry, just drinking water for 11 days. It’s been 22 years that we have been supporting him, by arranging shelter for him at different homes and in different cities as we didn’t have the rescue home. We are helping him with his medications, now the family he was living with also refused to take care of him anymore. In an Emergency, we shifted him to The Holy Light office. Still, we need assistance to buy new beds and other things, and a person who can cook food and wash clothes at the rescue center.
