Things step up a gear from April 2007 with a very generous quarterly gift from the Church Raj was based at when he was in the UK. This quarterly gift now means that all of Raj's day to day expenses are covered and the trust is effectively funding it's first full time employee with the possibility of a little left over to look for a second!! Along with other giving, this brings some security to Raj's support base for the next 2 years at least by which time he is hoping to be funded from Indians/Indian Churches.
This is a major development as much of our focus has been working on developing the trust but that is so hard to do when you need funding to survive.
Welcome to the blog of The Fishermen Trust (TFT), a Charity working in Bangalore, India. This blog is an attempt to communicate to suporters in the UK (and elsewhere around the world) what Trust is up to on a month by month basis. For details of the vision of the trust and further information on our work go to our main site at www.thefishermentrust.co.in or view our pictures at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/thefishermentrust
A word from the Founder and Director of TFT, Raj Moorthy
I am so excited to be a part of what God is doing today in India! This is a land of opportunity for the 555 million young people that live here and we nee to continue to find innovative ways to reach these young people.
TFT is just one response to the unprecedented need in this country but we cannot meet this need on our own….
In the Bible in Luke 5:1-11, Jesus asked Peter to cast his net on the other side of the boat to catch fish. Peter took Jesus at his word in spite of a hard night of disappointment trying to catch fish. The result of his obedience brought such large a number of fish that his nets began to break. So much so that he had to call his partners to come and help.
It is with this analogy I want to invite you as partners to come alongside in helping to pull the net together. Help me to make this vision a reality, I know God is committed to this in fulfilling his purpose in my life but I would like you to be a part of God’s work.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read this blog. Do visit our main website here and also have a look at our photo album here.
I look forward to hearing from you…..! You can click here to e mail me.
