Around that time, a commercial sex worker approached Pastor Philip and handed over her nine-month-old son Reuben to him. Pastor Philip then decided to set out on a mission to look after Reuben and the destitute in the city. To accommodate the rising number of inmates, SEAL changed its premises four times, before setting base at Nere in New Panvel. Pastor Philip says, “When death is near, all they need is someone to attend to their needs. Pastor Philip says, “Our efforts to serve and subsist on compassion might be imperceptible, yet we offer ourselves untiringly.”
