A Story of Hope: A Journey Towards Healing for a Brave Little Boy

 A Story of Hope: A Journey Towards Healing for a Brave Little Boy This is the story of a 2-year-old boy , the child of a North Indian missionary family working in the Vikaspuri area of Delhi .

Anish Brillin took care of the child overnight, and with God’s guida...
