As we approach the end of this year, we reflect with gratitude on all the support of Revival Fires extended to our Anti-Slavery Project here in India. With your generosity, we can impact lives and drive transformation. A change that the world often deems impossible is made possible through the healing and restoration we bring, anchored in the love of Jesus.

We are excited to share important updates for July and August 2024 as our survivors continue to grow and thrive through various initiatives with your support.

We are thrilled to bring you exciting updates and heartfelt stories from the Light House Disha India Project. Your unwavering support continues to make a profound difference in the lives of survivors. We have significant milestones to share this month, reflecting the transformative power of your contributions, love, prayers and support.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Revival Fires for standing with me in love and prayers and covering my treatment costs since the beginning of our time in Mumbai. After two months of rigorous tests, scans, and back-to-back consultations, a treatment plan has been developed. I have started three rounds of chemotherapy at Tata Memorial Hospital as a private patient and am consulting with a senior surgical oncologist at Kokilaben Hospital for surgery and further treatment. Once the chemotherapy cycles are completed, the surgery plan will be considered.

We have witnessed incredible stories of restoration and healing in the lives of new survivors have found refuge and support at Light House Restoration Centre. Through counselling, mentorship, and spiritual mentorship broken lives are being transformed, and hope is being reignited.

Warm greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! As we approach the joyous Christmas season, we reflect on the blessings and victories of the year gone by. Your steadfast support has been the guiding light, enabling Light House Disha to continue its mission of spreading the transformative love of Jesus and combating the darkness of exploitation.

We are excited to provide you with a three-month update on the progress and achievements at our Survivor Restoration Centre, a safe haven that has been made possible by your generous support. Thanks to your contributions, we have been able to offer round-the-clock care, protection, and a comprehensive range of services to survivors of human trafficking and exploitation.

As you read Smerin’s report, you will be impacted by her love for Jesus and her passion for people, working to see freedom and healing amongst all those she meets.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support!

Because each one of you at Revival Fires, 100 + survivors and at-risk women and girls are on the path to Christ-centric rest and economic freedom and some are already living a life of Dignity and hope walking on that path since 2015. But we still need your help! Because so many still need Jesus as their personal Saviour.

Our LightHouse India Ministry is a special opportunity for survivors with its holistic approach. All services are offered free of charge to the women and girls who participate in the mentorship program.

Being in the midst of a once in a generation pandemic we are grateful to be alive and continue standing with survivors and at risk women and young girls we work with in our centre and in the communities.

This year has truly been a year of turnaround for us as we have witnessed God’s mighty hands of protection over our lives despite the pandemic situation around the world. We have made an honest effort to do our bit to reach out to communities in need and believing in miracles in the most unusual places. Beginning of February we displayed some of our handmade products and baked cookies and bread for a local community fair putting a small corner. The small proceeds from the same were used to buy snacks & gifts for the girls. We had a fun participating at the event.

We praise God for your continued support for our work here in India which enabled us to start the New Year by admitting two of our at risk young women in a short term hospitality training. They are also pursuing their under graduate studies in a local college.
