ADMIN

I currently reside in Pune, India, where I am actively involved in ministry and volunteer work. I feel led to share how the grace and love of God completely transformed my life—and how you might be able to partner with me in this journey.

In 2015, I encountered the mercy of God in a life-changing way. Before that, I lived a broken life—caught in addiction, lost in drugs, and trapped in a careless lifestyle. I had no purpose, no direction, and no peace. One day, I overdosed on drugs. By all human logic, I should have died. But God had different plans for my life.

By His unmerited grace, He rescued me—not only from death but from the chains of sin and darkness. That day marked a new beginning. I encountered the love of Jesus Christ, and my life was never the same.

Since then, God has placed in my heart a burning desire to serve Him. Today, I serve as an evangelist, called to bring the Gospel to the lost, the broken, and the hopeless—because I know exactly what it means to be in that place. My mission is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, to reach souls who feel far from God, and to remind them that no one is too far gone for His grace.

As I continue in full-time ministry, I am currently in need of monthly support of $250 USD to cover basic personal and ministry-related expenses (food, transportation, communication, and daily living). Your partnership—through prayer or financial support—would make a lasting impact in enabling me to reach more lives for Christ. If you feel led to support me in any way, or if you would like to hear more about my ministry, please reach out. I would be deeply grateful.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

Thank you and may God bless you richly.

In Christ’s service,
Reuel Mark Green

CLASS TEACHER LKG & UKG

I currently serve as an LKG and UKG class teacher at Arise N Shine Preschool. When I first joined, I had no prior teaching experience and had never worked in a school before. But the founder of Arise N Shine saw potential in me, encouraged me to begin this journey, and told me, “Just give one year—doors will open.”

That one year changed my life.

What began as a job became a calling. The school welcomed me like family. With love, patience, and guidance, I’ve learned not only how to teach, but how to lead with compassion, kindness, and care for each child.

Even though I come from a different faith background and am not a Christian, I have seen the love of God in the lives and hearts of those I work with. Their genuine care and faith have deeply impacted me and helped me grow both personally and spiritually.

I am also a mother to a young son who has recently started school. As I continue to serve in this meaningful role, I am facing financial challenges in meeting basic needs like school fees, food, and daily expenses for my child and myself.

I am humbly seeking monthly support of $200 USD to help us manage our household and support my son’s education. Your support—whether through finances or prayer—would be a huge blessing to our little family and allow me to keep serving where I’m called.

I am truly thankful for the opportunity to be part of the Arise N Shine family, and I look forward to continuing this journey with love, faith, and a heart to grow.

“Even when I didn’t believe in God fully, I saw His love through others. That love has changed me.”

With gratitude,

CLASS TEACHER

I am a Christian and currently serving as a Nursery teacher at Arise N Shine Preschool in India. I also serve in my church as a Sunday school teacher and worship team member. It is a joy and blessing to serve the Lord through teaching and ministry.

I am reaching out with a humble heart to share a personal need. My family and I are currently going through financial hardship, and we are in need of monthly support. We require approximately $200 (USD) per month to cover basic living expenses such as food, rent, and utilities.

If God places it on your heart to support us—whether through prayer, a one-time gift, or monthly sponsorship—it would be a great blessing. Your help will not only provide for our physical needs but also allow me to continue serving in ministry and teaching with peace and stability.More than anything, I ask for your prayers—that God would provide, guide, and open doors according to His will.

If you would like to know more or are willing to help, please feel free to contact me. I would be grateful to share more about my work, family, and how your support can make a difference.

Thank you and God bless you abundantly.

In Christ.

ASSISTANT TEACHER NURSERY

and I am 18 years old. I started my journey at Arise N Shine Preschool last year as a volunteer, simply coming in to observe and learn how the school works and how to help with the children. I had no background in education and didn’t know English. I was shy, uncertain, and limited by cultural barriers from my Hindu background that made it hard for me to talk openly or express myself—especially in English.

But everything started changing when I was offered the opportunity to become an assistant teacher this year. Even though I still struggle, the teachers, leaders, and staff at the preschool have been helping me every step of the way. I am now able to speak a little English, and I’m learning more every day. More than that, I’m growing in confidence.

Through the love and support I’ve received, I’ve also come to love Jesus. I want to believe and follow Him, but I struggle with fear—fear of my family’s reaction and the opinions of people around me. I know God is working in my heart, and I pray for courage to stand in faith one day.

I am also in need of monthly personal support of $100 USD to help with basic needs such as food, clothing, and transportation. If you feel led to support me—whether financially or through prayer—it would mean a lot to me. Your help would allow me to keep learning, serving, and growing, both as a teacher and as a young woman seeking truth and hope.

With gratitude,
Gunjan Saroj

JANITRESS

I work at Arise N Shine Preschool as a janitor. I help with cleaning the school, maintaining the environment, and preparing food for the children. I feel so thankful and honored to serve in such a loving and peaceful place.

Before I joined the school, I was often unwell and felt weak both physically and emotionally. But after becoming part of this school family, I experienced something I never expected—healing through the prayers and love of the staff. I now live with peace and joy, and I am grateful to be part of such a supportive community.

Through my work at the school, my daughter also received the opportunity to work here as a teacher assistant. Together, we are learning, growing, and being blessed more than we imagined.

I am the mother of three children—two girls and one boy. I am doing my best to support them and give them a better future, especially in their education. But with limited income, it is difficult to meet all their needs.

That is why I am humbly asking for monthly support of $150 USD to help me care for my children’s education, food, and daily needs. Any help—financial or in prayer—would be a great blessing to my family.

With love and gratitude,
Guddi Saroj
