It is with a heavy heart we share the loss of our long time and devoted supporter, Dick Abel. He and his wife Barbara visited the Children’s Home in India twice, and they hosted Rosie and Anand Thandu in their home in California many times. They helped spread the word of Children of Faith’s work in India and brought many new supporters. Dick had a heart for mission work and loved children. He made each child in the home feel God’s love. Dick and his wife Barbara sponsored Vasavi for many years, she is now married and raising two boys. Their encouragement made a big difference to Vasavi. The Children of Faith Family will miss Dick more than words can say and we pray that his family and friends find comfort at this sad time.
