Widows Ministry - Caring for the Old Widows in India
Esther Ministry - Care for the Widows
Esther ministry is the social wing of Grace Ministry in Mangalore introduced by Sis Hanna Richard to Provide encouragement, comfort, and support for old aged women and widows in India. Our objective is to reach every need of each widow in our community, and build their self-esteem. In all societies, the loss of the marital partner through death necessarily involves several changes in the financial arrangements and subsequent economic management, and these are even more so if the dead spouse was the primary earner in the family.
The Esther Ministry of Grace Ministry is to help the helpless widows and aged women in the state of Karnataka ,India by providing food provisions, clothing, shelter and medical assistance.
“He executes justice for the orphan and the widow and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing. Deuteronomy 10:18
How did this all start?
During her young age when Sis Hanna Richard was on her way to school, she used to see large number of old age women's sitting in the scorched sun having no shelter and food, but once when Hanna asked old women about how you are running your daily life they replied “We are alive because of INDIRA GANDHI, every month she is providing us pensions through which we are able to survive” and this statement brought a great dream and vision into Sis Hanna life.
Her vision of helping the old aged and widows turned into reality when she launched a unit called “ESTHER WOMEN'S WELFARE MINISTRY" where more than 100 old aged and widows are been taken care with love, encouragement, comfort and support on every month.
Sis Hanna attends each woman with love and affection, understands individual’s problem, consoles them, and realizes their needs.
The Esther Women’s Ministry Home extends the helping and supporting hand in uplifting and the empowerment of the downtrodden, handicapped, poor, dumb, deaf, abandoned woman. As an initiative, the Home provides food, clothing and possible monetary to all woman at Esther Home. More importantly, the kind touch, the love, and the affection have made these women live a simple, peaceful and happy life. The contribution of Sis. Hanna and Grace Ministry towards humanity have really made their vision of ‘Serving God’ come true.
Sis Hanna and Grace Ministry welcome people to understand this truth and the simplicity and importance of life behind the modern life with intricacy.
