The spread of Covid-19 has disrupted lives, economies and business in all the countries of the world. India and Nepal have been largely impacted by the consequences of the lockdown. Companies have to stop their activities until the end of the lockdown planned in the beginning of June. 

In consequence, our drilling bore wells programme was halted due to the lockdown. The drilling company we are hiring, the masons and plumbers could not come anymore to compel to the law. This is a difficult time for Eternal Word Ministries, and we don’t know when things will come back to normality. It is heartbreaking because we receive a lot of requests from several villages asking for help, but we cannot at this moment give a favorable answer.

For all of our Partners who have given to the drilling bore wells programme, please be reassured the donations are kept for this project. The work is resuming gradually. We believe you will understand the situation. Once the work is done, you will be informed. If you have changed your address or email address, please inform our Office. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Friends and Partners,

EWM serve some of the poorest and most vulnerable populations in India and Nepal and as you can imagine, they are the ones particularly affected during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since the lockdown in India many families are going through starvation because of no more possibility to get a daily job and earn some money. In this pandemic crisis, we want to help the poorest. We already fed hundreds of people by giving them prepackaged food or by bringing grocery parcels. Your special contribution of £10 or $10 will help us to supply one week grocery for one family and help them to survive until the end of the lockdown extended until 3rd of May.

You can send your donation by Paypal or to EWM bank account in your country and put as remark – Covid-19 Emergency Fund Appeal. Thank you once again for your love and compassion.

Nous vous remercions de vos prières pour l’ensemble des enfants, du personnel, des Pasteurs et églises des Ministères La Parole Eternelle en Inde et au Népal. Tout le monde va bien et nous remercions le Seigneur pour Sa divine protection. Nous prions aussi pour vous et vos familles en ces temps de confinement. Soyons prudents et restons vigilants dans la prière. Unis ensemble dans la Foi !

We value your continued prayers for everyone at EWM, children, Staff, Pastors, Churches and all the Beneficiaries. People are confined and compelled by the Indian Authorities to stay home until April 14. Everyone is doing well at EWM. We praise the Lord for His divine protection over us. We are also praying for you and your families. United in Faith!

The repairing work of the compound wall is achieved at Pudukkottai children’s home!

We thank our dear Friends and Partners who helped us generously to rebuild the compound wall that was destroyed last year during the cyclonic storm. We still have to finalize certain works in some remaining areas that were damaged and we believe it will be achieved by the end of this year.

Once a week, the children are practicing sporting activities like baseball, badminton, cricket etc. Now, we bought a tennis table. The children are so pleased with this new activity and they are learning very quickly how to play this new game. During their spare time, the children are playing tennis table or carom, a very popular Indian game.

Every month, we gather the children born in the same month to have a collective birthday party. During that exciting time, we offer birthday cakes, candies and small gifts. The children love it!

Because of the severe drought in India, both ground and surface water sources face greater risks of contamination. To address the risks posed by this problem, we have to install drinking water purification plants in all of our Children’s homes. We did it in in our children’s home of Durugam. This method of purifying water treat the ground water very effectively and filter it of all impurities so the children can drink safe and clean water. We need 3 more drinking water purification plants. We value your prayers. Any financial support you could offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your love, prayer and help.
