Jagbir Gara: A Heart for Orphans in Amritsar
Jagbir Gara, a 40-year-old resident of Amritsar, has dedicated himself to serving orphans in his community. Currently, he is supporting two orphaned children from his neighborhood who live with their aunt.
The two children that Jagbir serves in Amritsar.
Over the past few months, Jagbir has been helping them learn how to read and write. Beyond education, he generously provides them with essential needs — including food, clothing, and other daily necessities. His compassionate acts have not only uplifted the lives of these children but have also deeply blessed him and his family.
Jagbir expresses heartfelt gratitude to God for giving him the opportunity to serve. He is also thankful for the impact of the Great Commandment Workshop he attended, where he learned practical ways to support orphans and vulnerable children.
With unwavering commitment, Jagbir has vowed to continue caring for the two children and do everything within his means to meet their needs. Looking ahead, he hopes to extend his support to even more orphans in the future.
“Helping these children has brought joy and purpose to our family. I believe it is my calling to serve them with whatever I have,” he says.

Global Orphan Relief (GO) has been serving orphaned children since 2005. We have accomplished this work through local partners in each country that provide oversight and distribution of care through three care initiatives; Home-Based Care, Education, and Nutrition. In 2022, we launched our Church Mobilization Initiative by which we are mobilizing the local church to care for orphan children. Last month, we impacted 20,209 children in seven countries in Africa & Asia within these four initiatives.
Beyond the financial commitment of co-hosting Great Commandment Workshops, this effort is Indigenous, self-propagating, and self-supporting. Our objective is to engage local churches to expand our GO! network, mobilize the church body to serve orphaned children, and advance the Kingdom through demonstrating the Gospel to others. Through these workshops, we are:
Church Mobilization is our newest initiative, launched in February 2022. We are currently working with local area churches to co-host Great Commandment Workshops where we bring together multiple subject matter experts to discuss the why and how to serve the poor generally, and orphan children specifically. We track the impact of children served through this through local GO! teams in each country.
We have co-hosted and facilitated thirty-three workshops in Africa & Asia, where we have hosted more than 5,000 ministry leaders. At the conclusion of these workshops, we have been honored to commission more than 4,000 GO! Ambassadors. GO! Ambassadors are those who have received the call to serve orphan children in their communities during these one-day workshops and have made a commitment to serve children in their community. We encourage them in their journey to serve others each month. In addition, we provide additional training and encouragement through our online Great Commandment Academy.
In June 2025, this GO! Ambassador Network served 11,485 orphan children. with 2,378 of these children being in India.
