LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

The world can be a broken place. A place where many are left forgotten or simply shoved aside. This was the world Janvi was born into.

Janvi never experienced the love of her birth parents. In fact, it was by their own hands she was left alone to die. But even in the midst of this broken world there is room for redemption. Christ’s compassion never decreases even when the darkness thickens. God’s love does not vanish when earthly love fails.

It is this kind of love God puts inside His children. It’s the love He placed in Dayalu’s heart for neglected Janvi.

Two-year-old Left to Die

This is Janvi

Tears of compassion rolled down Dayalu’s face. He saw her. The skinny, frail body of a little girl, no more than 2 years old, sitting alone near a thorny bush. Ants covered her. She cried out in pain as they bit her innocent, little face. Swooping her up in his fatherly arms, Dayalu took her home with him. She was safe now. Janvi would become part his family.

Parents Abandon Daughter

Little Janvi had a mom and dad, but they never loved her. Addicted to alcohol, Janvi’s parents let strong drink and loose living control their lives. When little Janvi was born, her mom did not feed her well, and she became sickly due to her parents’ neglect. After two years, they were tired of caring for her and felt burdened by her life. She was completely worthless in their eyes, and so were the two other daughters they had let die. They decided to leave Janvi and never return.

But God had a very different opinion of little Janvi and had a special plan for her precious life.

Bridge of Hope Eases Financial Strain

Janvi grew up in Dayalu’s home after the day he found her crying and being bitten by ants. Dayalu and his wife loved and cared for her as they did their own daughter and son.

Although Dayalu had a sympathetic heart, he was very poor. Providing three meals a day for his family was a constant struggle for him. It was difficult putting eager-to-learn Janvi through school. When Dayalu found out Janvi could join the nearby GFA-supported Bridge of Hope center, he happily enrolled her.

Today, Janvi is able to go to school without it being a financial strain on the family. Bridge of Hope has been a huge blessing to Janvi and her family. She loves school and is at the top of her class, excelling in her studies.

Compassion Through Adoption and Education

Janvi, though once abandoned and thought worthless by her parents, was never abandoned by God. Today she knows she is precious in the eyes of the Lord, through Dayalu and the loving care of the Bridge of Hope center.

How Grateful we are at Gospel for Asia (GFA) to be part of Janvi’s story. It is our heart’s desire to help father’s like Dayalu care for their children. Bridge of Hope is a tool many have been blessed by through the years. It is our prayer that we may be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who need compassion in this broken world that is loved by a redeeming God.

“‘For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise,’ says the LORD; ‘I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.’” —Psalm 12:5
