Lydia Paul - Loving Them all

Sixty three.

63 faces washed, uniforms arranged, breakfasts prepared, lunches packed, backpacks filled. 63 kids out the door and now it’s 8am… time to work on the budget. Rice Bowls brings a sigh of relief. Food budget – taken care of. A broad smile crosses Lydia’s face. Now she and her husband Joseph can focus on the real desire God has placed in their heart – to love on their children from the front porch of their home in southern India. With the weight and worry of where the next day’s meals will come from lifted off their shoulders, there is more time for swinging on that front porch, listening to giggles, playing cricket or flying a kite… more time to let their children enjoy being children.

At just two years old, Nithin settled into his new life at El Shadai Children’s Home in Chennai, India. His mother, affected by HIV, had heard of this caring home through a local Christian social worker. Her desire for Nithin to be loved and taken away from the horrific abuse at the hands of his father led her to El Shadai. Shortly after bringing Nithin to live here, she passed away. Today at nine years old, Joseph & Lydia, the directors at El Shadai, are his dad and mom.  read more ›
