Until 2026, we assisted Hadassah Orphanage in India with special needs when we had available funds. In September of 2026, we accepted the charity from Beit HaTorah for full-time support in a Divine full circle. Here's the short story:
In 2009, Boaz and Rabbi Sariella Creeger founded the Hadassah Orphanage in India with Ravi Babu Karra serving as its director. It is located in Andhra Pradesh, a state in southeastern India, along the coast of the Bay of Bengal. The orphanage usually serves around forty children along with some widows who have taken refuge there, giving them a safe place to live, education, medical care, and spiritual guidance.
Children are taught salvation through Yeshua HaMashiach and Torah. The orphans of Hadassah keep Shabbat and the Biblical feasts, thriving in what would otherwise be a hopeless environment. The children become orphans for various reasons. They have lost parents due to tsunami, HIV, auto accidents, TB, house fire, financial hardship, or abandonment.
About the time of Hadassah's establishment, I spoke at an MBI conference in Michigan where I met the Creegers and attended their presentation on the orphanages they sponsored in Africa and India. At the time, I was just getting used to being invited to speak and receiving offerings for doing so, which felt odd since I had a full time job. When I saw what the Creegers were doing, I said to myself, "If this ministry were to grow, then that's exactly what I'd want to do!"
As it turned out, the ministry did grow and I began writing Creation Gospel workbooks. When we teamed up with the believers in Kenya to build LaMalah Orphanage, The Creation Gospel was able to do exactly what the Creegers had inspired us to do: support orphans and widows. Proceeds from speaking and the workbooks were our starting capital, and as we continued, others came alongside to grow the available funds.
Just before he passed away on Erev Sukkot 2026, Boaz Creeger ז״ל approached us about providing ongoing support to their work at Hadassah, and the Creation Gospel board accepted the challenge. When we receive Kingdom inspiration, it eventually becomes Kingdom obligation! It is a wonderful opportunity to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction, to lend to The Holy One of Israel Himself. Ministering unto "the least of these" turns out to be ministering unto "the greatest of all," the Creator of the Universe.
We welcome the children and widows of Hadassah, and please scroll down for updates from LaMalah Orphanage with videos. Future updates for Hadassah will be located under "Orphanage News" with LaMalah.
What do we need now? Any amount of support for monthly expenses: clothes, food, medical care, school fees and tuition, books, uniforms, higher education, and feast celebrations.
