Mercy homes are Christian homes for the poor and orphans in India .This ministry is started by Pastor Daniel under the Voice of Gospel Ministry, a Charity mission in India.It was an awesome experience that pastor Daniel had on September 14th 2000 with God. He spoke to him very clearly to take an adventurous step to redeem the children in India who are thrown into the streets everyday leading them gradually into slavery, death and prostitution. According to the census, more than 100,000 children are aborted every year because of the major reason that the parents couldn't feed the newborns due to poverty. Thousands of children are killed and sold to sex trade and slavery because of debt and poverty. Millions of children are dying due to malnutrition and sickness. Millions still live in darkness and deception of Satan and witchcraft; as they are illiterates and ignorant. God's answer to these problems as revealed to Pastor Daniel is "Mercy Home."Mercy Home is a God-given project to minister to the needs of the under- privileged and uneducated orphans and the poor children. Mercy Home is the place where these children are offered proper care, good food ,education, shelter and spiritual upbringing with Christian character. This is not at all an orphanage but a home concept where children grow in love, peace and responsibility.Ten children are brought up in a home under the committed spiritual family (parents) .VOICE OF GOSPEL ministry meets all their physical and spiritual needs. The result of this endeavor is a generation of faithful, responsible and God-fearing men and women of God.An invitation for partnership to save the children in India. Through Mercy Homes.Pastor Daniel was born in India in a Bible believing missionary family in 1955 and had his secular and theological education in India. When God called him into the ministry of serving h hungry and the needy he obeyed the call and committed his life for the ministry in 1976.In 1975 pastor Daniel established Voice of Gospel ministry with an intention to reach the unreached in India with the gospel of compassion and love of Jesus through training, education and helping the poor and needy. Since 2001 Voice of Gospel has planted more than 49 Mercy Homes for the poor and destitute in India . Compared to the needs in India it is nothing.India is the home to the largest number of hungry people in the world. 233million hungry people live in India. There are 100,00000 child laborers in India. The average income they make is less than $5.In September 2000 while Pastor Daniel was in Boston MA, God spoke to him through a vision to take care of the children in India and world. The vision goes as follows: I saw trucks filled with the dead bodies of the children are being dumped into a pond. There were newborns and aborted kids from all nations. I saw one after another truck coming and unloading them into this pond. Then I heard The Lord speaking to me.These are my next generation church. These are my apostles, prophets, priests, evangelists, pastors, teachers, missionaries, statesmen, and diplomats. There is no one to care them and love them. I want you to save them and love them and raise them. I asked to the Lord," Lord how is this possible" The Lord said I will give you people and resources to open Mercy Homes. Take ten kids in to a home and put them under a pastor or Christian family and let them raise these children with responsibility and care. You support them for their food and education. I agreed.Mercy HomesMercy homes are not orphanages. It is a home concept where kids grow in the personal attention of the Pastor and his wife. There will be ten Kids in every home. Pastor and his wife will be the parents of these kids and take care of every matter. The kids help each other grow in love. The kids work together and grow with a role model in their life. The pastor will be supported with enough money to raise the kids. The kids can study as much as they can and will be trained in a trade like welding, carpentry, tailoring, refrigeration, plumbing, mason work, electrical works, automobile mechanism, cycle repairing and two wheeler mechanism those who want to do higher education in universities will also be helped for that. They leave the mercy Home only they are independent or married.
