It was a chilly cold winter morning, 25 years ago, in January 1980. I stood at the junction between BSF Road and Tedim Road , waiting to buy some charcoal to warm our poor family from the cold winter.

A short while later, I saw a young woman and her son, around 7 years old, holding each other’s hands, coming towards me. As they came nearer, I could see that both of them were bare-footed and shivered with cold. The woman wore a torn, dirty knee-length skirt and an old ragged Tee-shirt. Her son wore a torn, dirty white kamis.

Though I was only 12 years old, I felt so much for them that I just broke out in tears which I could not hold back. With tearful eyes I cried out to God and prayed him saying, “Lord, when I grow up, make me to be an instrument of help for the needy and the poor.”  

As I grew up, my thoughts were filled with this divine calling to help the down-trodden and the needy. In high school, I dreamt of becoming a doctor thinking this profession would be the best way to help my people who were needy and suffering. However, due to my family’s difficult economic situation, I was unable to fulfill this dream.

In college, I stretched my mind trying to find the best that I could do to fulfill this call from God, and thought of studying law to become a lawyer. However, God has His own plan to fulfill His will in my life. After graduation from college, my cousin, Khen P. Tombing advised and help me finished my Master’s degree (1995), and afterwards to pursue and to obtain my M.Div. degree (2001) in the USA.  In these ways God clearly led me, trained me and answered my prayers after a long wait of 20 years to fulfill His Calling.

In January 2002 the long dreamt orphanage called “COVENANT CHILDREN’S HOME was started taking into its care 14 children orphaned by ethnic clashes, drug addiction, and AIDS. Presently, the Home is taking care of 124 orphans. Besides, there are more than 300 orphans who are in need of care but are held back due to lack of financial support for them.

 When I looked back at my life, I came to realize that God has made me to be a doctor and a lawyer to heal and free the lives of His people, spiritually and physically.

 If you are willing, you can be part of this great challenge in transforming the lives of these innocent children in giving them a better world to live in.  

He is the Lord of Hope for all  the destitute,
                His grace is sufficient for all people;
                He gives joy to all those who draw near Him,
                His goodness is more than tongue can tell.
            
                I will never be able to tell of the grace of my Lord,
                His goodness for me, I would not describe.
                I will know more of His mercy as I grow up,
                A refuge, for me, He is, now, and forever!

             Mother to the motherless, and Father to the fatherless,
             He gives love to those who has no one to love them;
            He is the Comforter of all those who need comfort, 
            He is the Lord and giver of life to all mankind.
