What Happens When a Student Fails High School?
May 23rd, 2013
Master’s Home for Children is the only children’s home in our entire city that educates its children through college. We work hard to ensure our children have marketable skills, and we help them secure a good job before we send them on their way. If you’re curious about what happens after our kids leave our Home, you can read this post about two young men from Master’s Home, or this post about Theresa, the top nurse in Vizag City.
The door to college only opens for students who score well on their High School Exams. We have posted before on the educational system in India and the critical importance of securing high marks on the standardized High School exit exam.
So the question becomes: What happens to the students who fail High School?
God has blessed Master’s Home above and beyond all our expectations! Evidence of his blessing is the fact that in 14 years, we have had only one student not pass the High School exit exam.
In such a case, if the student has failed in only one subject, they can re-take that portion of the test that same year. If they have failed in more than one subject, they must wait until the following year and re-take the entire exam. That was the case with our one student. They remained on campus and studied an extra year, passed the exam the follow year, and continued on with their education.
In the event that a student did not want to continue their education, for whatever reason, the caretakers at Master’s Home would meet with the student and decide together what form of employment they would like to pursue. One young lady with us did pass her high school exams, but decided she did not want to continue studying. We arranged for her to apprentice with a tailor so she would have a marketable skill after leaving our home.
In every situation, our goal is that our children would leave our care able to provide for themselves and their families!
As the years go by, we have more and more young men and women in Master’s Home attending colleges. Because of this, the cost of sending our kids to college grows each year. If you would like to sponsor the college education of one of our Master’s Home children, please email Karla. Generally, the tuition and fees for one year of college run around $1,000.

Scripture Saves

Pastor Kishore with his family.
After this he started attending church, and during a church service God spoke to him and called him to ministry. One day he traveled to Mallavaram village to do a wedding there. After the wedding, the people liked him and asked him to stay.
And so he planted a church in Mallavaram. They started meeting in a house and now they meet in a hut as there are 60 believers and they can not fit in the house. They meet on Sundays for worship and Wednesdays for prayer and Fridays for fasting prayer.
Please Pray: “I travel each month to different villages to share the Gospel. Please pray God would open doors for me to plant churches in these villages. Please pray also that we might build a church building in our village.”
Vision Nationals trains and resources national church planters like Pastor Kishore. Our goal is to see Ten Thousand Churches planted in Asia in the next twenty years. If you would like to sponsor a church planter for $50 a month, you can give online.

CTD: Prayer for a 17 Year Old Mom
May 19th, 2013
Vision Nationals partners with The Family Connection Foundation in Thailand to pursue our goals of planting churches, training nationals and caring for orphans and widows throughout Asia. The Family Connection Foundations runs a home for disadvantaged single mothers, and early in May a new mom joined that could use our prayers.
“On Friday, we welcomed a new mother and baby into our home. Unfortunately for our new Mom, the road she has traveled has been less than ideal. She is only 17 years old and has a 1 year old girl. She has just been released from juvenile detention for drugs charges and has a history of being involved in gangs notorious for drug trafficking, human trafficking, crime, and prostitution.
We ask you to pray for this family that they may settle into our home well, because we know that it will be a very tough time for them and they will want their freedom more than anything else. Also pray for safety and protection of this family and for God to work in Mom’s heart so that she will want to change her life and her child’s life forever. The grandmother is very sick and slowly dying of HIV AIDS, so our Mom has little to no support networks at all. Very sad life that we pray will be transformed by the loving kindness of our Lord.”
