We launched The Odisha Father’s House project in the spring of 2009, and it continues to thrive. At the moment, we have built two spacious family children’s homes – one for boys and another for girls. We have also completed the construction of a Christian school, enabling our children and others from impoverished backgrounds to receive high-quality education. Many of the children who were initially rescued have grown up and graduated from the project. They are now studying in colleges, getting married, finding jobs, and continuing to walk with the Lord. Here is the story of how this project was launched.

After a sleepless night in our uncomfortable “square” jeep we were not just tired – we were completely exhausted. Finally we stopped in front of the rusted iron gates. After many hours of driving on broken Orissa roads our backs, hands and legs were paining everywhere. Behind the gates we could see the pastor’s center building – broken windows, black from fire, and looted. Nothing was left from its past beauty. Hindus around didn’t look friendly at all with an uncomfortable feeling of enmity and hostility coming from them. Under suspicious and hostile observation, we entered the center compound, surrounded by a high brick fence.

We looked around – burnt wreck of a jeep, broken glass, walls black from fire, and an empty looted building. Hindu fanatics did everything to make sure that never would a Christian dare to come back here. Then to our great surprise we heard voices coming from inside the building and a Catholic priest appeared to welcome us.

He was the first who decided to come back. His declaration was simple, “If we live with Christ, let’s follow Him to the end, even if it means death. This is my home, my land, my ministry – I must be here.” The first night he came back somebody called him and started threatening him, “Why did you come back? If you don’t leave right now, you are a dead man.” He replied “Come, I am waiting for you. How many are you there? One thousand, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand? I am not afraid of you. Come!”

Standing on the doorstep of his completely burnt room, the priest was telling us what they had gone through. He was telling how in the night, raged crowds flooded the building killing and sweeping off everything in their way. Hindus living nearby looted and took everything valuable they could find from the center. Fanatics sought out pastors and key leaders, according to the lists prepared beforehand. As soon as they found any – they killed them. Police looked on indifferently while the raged crowed r***d women and girls. Words cannot describe how horrific the scene was.

Hindu fanatics were absolutely sure that after such a horror no Christian would dare to return. But they came back. Such faith and strength of spirit produced an amazing result – the fear of God fell upon Hindus. They started to fear those they persecuted. What Satan planned to use to kill and destroy, God turned into victory. Christians of different traditions and churches joined in one united whole. Fighting and competition was left in the past. Catholics, Baptists and Pentecostals began praying together.

During the whole trip we could see everywhere the same pictures of grief and destruction: Empty burnt ruins which used to be homes of believers; destroyed churches; refugee camps; people living in terrible unhygienic conditions. We stopped along the way, meeting with our brothers and sisters, talking and praying with them. Many of them, both men and women, cried while they shared their stories. All of them were similar: During the night raging crowds attacked their homes; Hindu neighbors looted their homes and burnt them; they had to run for their lives and hide in the jungles. Those who did not run away were killed and woman and girls were r***d.

❤️ The First Love — A 40-Day Journey to Fall in Love with Each Other Again — Day 18. Every woman needs her hero. Every man needs his princess

If a man is a hero, his woman becomes a princess. Not because she is demanding or expects a castle with towers. But because it is for her that the hero is willing to get off the couch and do something.

A princess doesn’t always wear a crown. Sometimes she’s in a simple house robe with no hairstyle at all. But even then, she remains a princess to her hero.

✔️For this princess, the hero endures inconvenience. He wakes up earlier than planned and finally fixes what she asked about a year ago. Because a hero without a princess is just a man with tools.

✔️A woman becomes a princess not when a man says beautiful words, but when he does something for her.

Every woman needs her hero. He doesn’t have to shine in knight’s armor. It’s enough if he takes out the trash and remembers which shelf holds the plates and which one holds the pots.

At times, a hero may look tired, confused, or overly confident that “he’ll fix it in no time.”

Even when a woman sees that her hero is exhausted, she still believes in him. She believes he’ll rest and make it work. To her, he is always a hero — even if he’s standing in the middle of the room with a tool in his hand, realizing the job is harder than he thought.

Every man needs a woman who believes in him. Especially when the shelf is hanging crooked and it’s too late to redo it. Sometimes a man doesn’t need advice or help.

He needs someone to look at him as if he’s a hero — even when the results are still questionable.

🙏 Amazingly, that kind of faith works. A man doesn’t give up. He tries again with new strength, because deep inside him lives a hero. And he longs for the woman who believes in him just a little more than he believes in himself.

Inside every woman lives a princess. And she longs for a man who treats her like one — even on days that feel far from magical.

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10

9 Two are better than one, because together they can accomplish more.

10 If one falls, the other can help him up. But if there is no one there to help, he will be left alone and in trouble.

Proverbs 31:10

The one who marries a kind and hardworking woman will value her more than precious stones.

Ephesians 5:33

Every husband should love his wife, as he loves himself. And the wife should treat her husband with deep respect.
