Dear Supporters of GSH Ministries,

 

I am pleased to provide you with this update about the progress of construction of the GSH Children's Home and School.  Included are some photos of the footings going in.  The building is concrete construction, so lots of rebar!  The progress has been fairly steady with some minor delays due to the rain (It is the rainy season in India right now). 

 

 

 Our initial funds that we started construction with will be used up in about 30 days, so we are praying for God's provision of the funds needed to keep construction moving.  If you are considering a gift to help fund construction now is a great time.  The dollar is very strong against the rupee right now (best ever actually).  The exchange rate has been between 44-50 rupees to the dollar  over the last decade but is currently at 60.  This means we're getting 20-30% more bang for our buck right now.  We thank God for this fortuitous exchange rate.

 

 

 

Please also pray about being part of the delegation  that is planning to visit India in November for the grand opening of the home.  You can express your interest in a reply to this email or by talking to any GSH board member.

 

 

 

We will continue to send photos of the progress as we receive them.

 

Thanks for your continued support of Brother Joseph and GSH!

 

In Christ,

 

Jacob Barr

President GSH USA
