Brother Tony Daly first met Pastor Raja and his wife Sunitha in January 2003. Pastor Raja Jidigu and a small group of children welcomed Brother Tony at Bapatla railway station at 20 past midnight with a welcome banner a garland of flowers . Brother Tony was taken to the “Bhvanna Residency” room 209 where Pastor Raja shared some of his testimony. A welcome bed brought torment as mosquitoes enjoyed a feast at 3 AM

In the morning Tony visited “Sheila’s” Home” a small rented home where 17 children lived in one small room. The rent had not been paid for 5 months and Pastor Raj confessed that he had struggled to feed the children one meal a day when often his own wife and children subsisting on a single banana. But they had faith and believed that the Lord would supply all their needs.

At this first visit the Lord provided a small gift for food for the children. On return to the UK brother Tony shared the needs for prayer in his church. Many people were deeply burdened to pray and through this prayer the Lord provided funds for the land to be purchased and for the building of a new home “Sheila and Barbara’s Home”.

Sheila and Barbara’s Home was built in 2005. Brother Tony Daly was asked to dedicate the home to the Lord and many local pastors came to join the children in a dedication and thanksgiving service.
