Following Jesus’ example, they lived simply, humbly, and selflessly to help the poor and marginalized, and their faith in God nurtured their hopes for true revival.

  • share.

    There’s no better news than the Good News. Our evangelistic teams are committed to spreading the Gospel to the difficult-to-reach people groups, the places where hearts are hardened and Jesus is not welcome.

  • Love.

    The love of God flows through our leadership as they seek out opportunities to bless, help, teach, embrace, pray, and make meaningful connections with those who are forgotten or marginalized due to economic or religious reasons.

  • nurture.

    True ministry is more than just standing before a crowd with a microphone. Nurturing new believers, neglected or abused children, or the outcast due to societal dictates, it is called discipleship, a most critical element in Christian ministry.

Partnering with local churches enables us to invest in pastors in the region. Our 32 pastors cover 44 churches, living in remote tribal villages where their local community makes up the majority of their congregations.

Our pastors have varying degrees of Christian education, yet they present hearts profoundly in love with Jesus and willing to do whatever it takes to lead men, women, and children to renounce Hinduism in exchange for a relationship with Christ. They take conversion and baptism very seriously.

Our Lead Pastor and ministry overseer is a Bible College graduate; his wife has a degree in music, and his two children have recently been accepted into medical school. The family is exceptional in many ways, living out the Gospel in their day-to-day lives. They use the monthly pastor’s meetings to teach the Bible and how to dispel the false doctrines so prevalent in heavily Hindu-oriented cultures.

Our responsibility to these pastors is to ensure they are able to attend the monthly Pastoral gathering where they receive instruction in the Word, enjoy a fellowship meal, share testimonies, and pray with and for one another. It is at these meetings that they pray for and plan evangelistic outreaches in the hard-to-reach or unreached villages. These monthly meetings are critical to their mission both individually and as a team.

A majority of the pastors and leaders in this region are poor and minister sacrificially. With your help, we can increase our monthly support to equip them for more aggressive efforts to spread the Gospel throughout the region.

Each of the men is very appreciative of every gift sent to them each month. Yet, we must do more to help them as the hands and feet of Jesus to millions within their reach. Your $30 one-time or monthly commitment will be to them a constant reminder that they are not laboring alone in one of the most challenging regions on Earth. Thank you.

COMPASSIONATE
CARE FOR LEPERS

Supplies for Lepers

Compassionate Care: Food and Supplies, Teaching from the Word, loving encouragement.

Together, we can support the 54 lepers under our spiritual care! These two leper colonies need regular supplies of healthy food, special shoes for their wounded feet, and transportation to medical centers for treatment. Their leprosy may be too advanced to be cured, but their wounded spirits can be cured with the love of Jesus Christ at work in their painful life circumstances. Just $25/month can make a difference!

Leprosy is a mildly infectious disease associated with poverty. It is a chronic disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium Leprae. It affects the skin, nerves, eyes, and respiratory system. It starts by damaging the small nerves on the skin’s surface, resulting in a loss of sensation.

Without the gift of pain [and yes, pain can be a gift], everyday activities are fraught with danger. Unnoticed burns and ulcers can lead to permanent disability and/or dismemberment. Due to the inability to detect grit in the eye, blindness is a common consequence of leprosy. If left untreated, leprosy damages the large nerves in the elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle. The resulting damage can lead to loss of sensation in the hands and feet and muscle paralysis, which causes clawed fingers and foot drop. Loss of sensation in the hands and burns go unrecognized, and stones in shoes go unnoticed, leading to ulcers. These can be difficult to heal and become infected, often leading to the shortening of fingers and toes or, ultimately, amputation of limbs. Leprosy can damage nerves in the face, causing the eyelid muscles to stop working, so the eyes are no longer protected by the blinking mechanism and are easily damaged, eventually leading to blindness. Leprosy can also damage the bones of the nose, causing it to collapse and flatten, a common facial trait witnessed in people affected by leprosy.

Visible disabilities are associated with historical social stigma. As this bacterium is extremely slow-growing, it is difficult to isolate in vitro cultures. Because of the social stigma, many cases present late for medical treatment. The disease is completely curable if diagnosed early,

Leprosy often prevents the victim from working due to both social stigma and the limitations the disease imposes on them. Many lepers, especially in your tribal areas, are shunned and cast out from their villages since people are afraid of contracting the disease. Often, their own family members send them away from their homes so they become shelterless orphans.

The 54 lepers in our two colonies desire to live, hoping against hope. They beg in the streets for alms. If they can receive some food, they eat and live. Otherwise, they starve and die of hunger. The suicide rate among lepers is grossly high due to the hopeless conditions of life.

Support Children logo with text 'Support Children: Love, Nurture, and Educate the Children'

“… thousands of orphans are in neglected condition in our region, becoming street beggars, committing suicide, and becoming HIV patients. So they have to be sheltered and nurtured for Christ. This is my burden to give my life for the orphans … to save millions of lost souls.” - Lead Pastor

We can all agree that children are our future and must be protected and trained to be young men and women of faith, integrity, and purpose. We consider it a privilege to be able to pour into the hearts of young children the love of God and His love for His people.

The children we care for come from families who have faced extreme hardship and have asked that we take their children to raise as Christians in a loving family atmosphere. Due to a lack of financial support, as the children grow and graduate from school, they leave to begin their lives independently. Some go on for further education. Some find employment and become self-sufficient. Some marry and begin families. And some, surprisingly, have stayed with our Lead Pastor’s family and work in the church, assist with evangelistic campaigns, and participate in the ministry in every opportunity given to them. They love the Lord and have developed true servant hearts.

But, the need for sheltering and nurturing children continues to grow. Pastor’s family is ready and eager to receive as many children as the Lord will lead to them; they only await the financial ability to provide for them.

Your monthly gift of at least $40 will rescue one child and put him or her in a stable and loving home environment, saturated with ministry activities, and opportunities to grow into a mature young person of faith and integrity.
