. . .For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.  Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?  When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?'  Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?  And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'  MATTHEW 25: 35-40

Grandma's House was founded in 2007 by Only Believe Ministries.  It is a home for elderly widows of India.   Grandmas House is built just a few feet from Jahnavi's Heart Orphanage with Pastor Joseph Matcha of Christ Fellowship Ministries and his wife Sony as the head masters and overseers.  It currently houses 9 widows however, 25 more are waiting admittance.  A widow can be taken into Grandma's House when she has someone to sponsor her.  Sponsorship is $48.00 a month for one widows or $24.00 if you would like to share sponsorship with someone else.  The pictures of widows below which are marked with a star, currently need sponsors.  The other widows have sopnsors and are already residing at Grandma's House.

Our vision for Grandma's House is to help the widows who are living in desperate situations.  A widow is considered "bad luck" in many of the villages where we minister.  They are rejected by villagers and even their own family members.  Right now, there are many elderly widows that have no one to help them or care for them.  Often they are forced to live on the streets of the villages and beg for food.  They have no blankets to keep them warm, and no roof to keep them dry.  They have no food, and they have no hope.  Their own children have turned their backs on them, hoping they will die and early death.  Many sleep on the ground under trees.  They are tired, lonely, afraid and sick.  You can help by being the outstretched hand of Jesus.  You can show these poor ladies the love of Jesus in a tangible way by reaching out to them and changing their lives.  If you would like to be a part of Grandma's House, or would like more information please contact us.
