Welcome to the Victory Blog

We are excited today, August 15th, to receive fresh new photos from Pastor Mark and the children of our Rays of Peace Victory Children’s Home as they celebrate India’s Independence Day. Below is the note from Pastor Mark:

Greetings to you in Jesus name. Today, August 15th, is our Nation Independence Day celebration. Our children from Victory Children’s Home performed some programmes and we invited a village leader who hoisted the Flag of our Nation.

Love & Prayers.
Pastor Mark & Francina Mark

It is such a blessing to watch these children prosper in the love of Jesus Christ and enjoy national celebrations from a place of peace and comfort. Thank you, Victory, for your generous hearts.

Today we were blessed to receive some exciting new photos from Pastor Mark in India along with the following message:

Greetings to you in Jesus name, these pictures are about people from neighboring villages taking water from our Victory Borewell, they are very Happy because we give them water from our recent dug borewell, We are able to witness about Christ to them. We thank you Victory World Church. We love you and we are Praying for you, Love & Prayers.

It is so exciting to see how God uses our faithfulness in meeting the practical needs of others to minister and provide opportunity to know Him.

Thank you, Victory, for your generosity on behalf of others. Enjoy these wonderful photos.

We were excited to receive a newsletter from Pastor Mark in India and find that the children of our Victory Children’s Home are doing exceptionally well; winning awards and bringing recognition to the school through their academic performance.

It’s always inspiring and amazing to see what God can do to multiply our efforts. The impacts upon these children’s lives and the community around them will not be truly seen until eternity. God has taken the faithful giving of our church and will multiply it for generations to come.

Thanks again, Victory, for your generous giving and love for the nations.

Here’s the snapshot from Pastor Mark’s newsletter:

Day out at Wonder-La

Dear Victory Family,

I want to give you a report of the wells we have been able to drill because of your generosity. The first well was drilled at Rays of Peace Church premises. We drilled 600 feet deep and tapped into clean drinking water. The drilling people told us that this water is sufficient for the seven-story building that we are believing for God to enable us to construct in the future. (We already have approval from the government to do so.)

The second well was drilled at Victory Children’s Home (Rays of Peace Orphanage). The well is 350 feet deep and we are blessed with clean water. We have now built a cistern to store the water. We use it for the orphanage and to bless the people of our community. The drilling people told us that the water which we got from this well is sufficient to irrigate 10 acres of land for growing crops, etc.

The third well has now been drilled at the Precious Children Home (the first Orphanage of Rays of Peace). We drilled 250 feet and instead of putting in a pump and pipes, we have installed an overhead tank which provides running water for the orphanage, office and another building.

With the funds we received through iCare and the Advent Conspiracy, we will soon drill one more well in another village where we have our branch church. And, as the Lord provides the funds, we have also planned to drill five more wells in different villages where the people are desperate for drinking water. Thank you, Victory World Church, for giving so generously towards our water project in India.

In His Service,

Pastor Mark Jayakumar
Rays of Peace Ministries

We are so pleased to announce that the generous giving for the Advent Conspiracy during the 2007 Christmas season is bearing fruit. Here’s a thank you letter, pictures and video from one of the ministries that is directly benefitting from it.

Dear Victory,

Greetings to you in Jesus name, we just finished drilling the well for the Rays of Peace, Victory Children’s Home Orphanage, located 65 kilometers away from Bangalore City, India. God blessed us once again, as we tapped into the rare sweet water that is so valued in India. God is good! We have fixed the water pump, and the people are so happy to have sweet, clean drinking water. We thank you Pastor Dennis Rouse and Victory World Church for helping us to drill the wells. May God bless you!

Love & Prayers,
Pastor Mark Jayakumar

In 2006, in partnership with Pastor Mark Jayakumar, we began work on an orphanage in India. The Victory family supported this vision and gave generously in the 2006 Christmas Gift to the World offering. By early 2007 we were blessed to see concrete being poured and the structure taking shape. Less than one year from the initial offering, the Rays of Peace, Victory Children’s Home opened and began serving orphaned children of all ages.

Below are pictures of Victory Children’s Home in its various stages of completion.

Victory Children’s Home is Opened!!!

Thank you, Victory Family, for caring!
