News from our Elijah Challenge Orphanage in Orissa, India
Sebika, now enrolled at Bhawanipatna University in Orissa, won Second Prize at their debate competition
.
Over ten years ago The Elijah Challenge started an orphanage in the Fundamentalist Hindu state of Orissa (Odisha)—where water baptism is illegal. Among the orphans was a little seven-year-old girl named Sebika who had no mother or father. Her remaining relatives had little Sebika spending her days tending to their livestock outside — instead of going to school to learn her ABCs.

When Sebika was first brought to our orphanage, she was asked to come outside to have her photo taken along with the other orphans. But at first she refused to come out, instead staying inside crying her little heart out. When Sebika finally started elementary school, she could not even hold a pencil and had to be taught. She had never gone to school.

But over the years growing up at our orphanage the Lord blessed Sebika wonderfully in various ways enabling her to excel both academically and talent-wise. This year she enrolled at Bhawanipatna University for her first year there.

At a recent Debate Competition at her University, our little orphan girl won Second Prize!

Including Sebika, our orphanage in Orissa currently supports approximately forty orphans.
