Hi, my name is K.P. Yohannan, President of the Gospel for Asia. It's been my privilege to serve the Lord for more than 40 years, especially among the people in India and the neighboring nations. And something that continues to break my heart, it is the plight, the suffering, the condition of the children, especially of the Dalit, the untouchables community.
Believe it or not, the movie Slumdog Millionaire is an example of the reality of the suffering of children in these nations. Welcome to the No Longer Slumdog website of Gospel for Asia. You know, it is one of my greatest joy to report to you over the years we have seen tens of thousands of children rescued from slums like the one you see in the movie.
And among the Dalits and give them hope and new beginning through the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's what my book is all about, No Longer a Slumdog. I pray that as you read that book and then visit our website and look at the pictures, the many video clips, you'll be surprised the privilege, the opportunity the Lord is giving us to touch the lives of these precious children in the name of our Lord and see their lives changed forever, for now and eternity.
