16 years of faithful love: Jyothi’s story and the power of sponsorship

2026-01-21

Since founding Peace Gospel International in 1993, we’ve seen God restore hope to children who’ve faced unimaginable hardship— turning orphans once trapped in poverty, abuse, or trafficking into thriving young adults.

Romans 11 reminds us we’ve been “grafted in” to God’s family as spiritual orphans by grace; now we’re invited to help “graft in” the world’s physical orphans, giving them family, safety, and a future.

That’s the power of our orphan sponsorship program.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to Jyothi— living proof of transformed lives.

A recent portrait of Jyothi, taken by our founder and director, Kirby Trapolino.

Jyothi’s Journey
Now 22, Jyothi joined our India program after losing her father, then tragically her mother too. She faced grief and the harsh stigma many low-caste orphans endure in India.

Through faithful sponsorship and our loving orphan care program, she’s been protected and empowered. She graduated high school and is now excelling in technical college, studying beautician and nutrition skills with excellent grades and genuine joy.

In Jyothi’s Own Words

Peace Gospel gave me a family, safety, and dreams again. My sponsor’s support helped me heal, study, and now build skills to give back. I’m so grateful to God and everyone who has made this possible.

From grief to growth: Jyothi’s beautiful journey.

A Sponsor’s 16-Year Reflection
Jennifer has sponsored Jyothi since 2010. Her words capture the joy:

I am truly honored to have been able to sponsor Jyothi over the past 16 years. What feels like such a small monthly gift on my end, has made such a meaningful difference in her life and in the lives of the other orphans in her program.

Watching her grow through the photos and updates I receive, just makes my heart so happy. She has blossomed in incredible ways — staying safe, finding community, and pursuing her education to become a beautician.

There are times when the suffering in the world feels overwhelming, and I wonder how one person could ever make a real difference. But programs like Peace Gospel make that possible.

I may not be able to change everything on my own, but together with others who care deeply about seeing orphans loved, protected, and given the chance to break the cycle of poverty, real change happens.

Peace Gospel has given me the beautiful gift of being part of something bigger than myself — of helping advance the Kingdom of God in a very real and tangible way. And for that, I am deeply grateful.

What seems small monthly becomes eternally significant over time.
