WIN-Al Ain Seeds of Hope

Tuesday, November 9, 2010
Bro. James (real name is Arun Giri) was born a Nepali Hindu but got born again in Christ. While in Malaysia, the Lord miraculously healed him there on his deathbed. Since then he became a strong witness & believer in Jesus. He has a wife named Laxmi Giri (also a believer) and both of them have six children, 3 of their own and 3 they adopted later. His own children are: Asmi (age 10), Joseph (8) & Ezekiel (6). The adopted children are Daniel (12), Suman (10) & Aris (8).

These are not legally/officially adopted by the courts or registered as such by the government, but it is recognized that they live in the home and he has assumed responsibility for them as their guardians.


James used to worked in Sheikh Palace with a security company in Schwaib and then later transferred to Dhaid and later in Al Ain. He came to the office of Chaplain Isaac of Oasis Hospital looking for a church to attend in Al Ain. Chaplain Isaac then referred him to Pastor Stan Rubesh, the chairman of T. E. A. M. (The Evangelical Alliance Missions) AP in Al Ain. Bro. James later joined the Nepali Outreach that Ps Stan started.

James showed spiritually maturity and became Ps Stan’s translator at the Labor Camp where they visit many Nepali workers. James went on to disciple his own workmates.

He recently went back home to Nepal to join his family as advised by Ps Stan that it would be better for him to be with them. Ps. Stan knew about the Seeds Of Hope (SOH) that we are trying to start in WIN – Al Ain and came to my office if whether we are interested in supporting at least James’ adopted children. The Church Council agreed to support James as our initial WIN – Al Ain local SOH project beneficiary. We are also in the process of supporting the WIN – UAE SOH National Programme through Sis. Coi Alea of WIN – Al Nahda that would benefit Filipino orphans through our Philippine Office.


Please pray for our local Seeds of Hope WIN – Al Ain overseer, Sis. Marlene and our dear Bro. James that the Lord will use this ministry to bless orphaned children around the world. Thank you so much for your prayerful support.

James 1:27 (NKJV)

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.


May the Lord reward you richly as you give generously to the Lord’s work.

God bless!

I would like to know how to send knitted goods like sleeping mats, hats, scarves and things to orphans in Al Ain. I had started to knit a lot for the Knit-A-Square program for orphans in South Africa, but was immediately reminded that my heart is still in Al Ain from when I was there during Desert Storm. I want to help. Dee
