Village Ministries |
India consists of nearly 6,75,000 villages. Every Sunday evening around 40 of our Church members along with some of our Pastors visit different villages to minister to the people there. Once in the village, the visiting team will divide itself into smaller groups and meet with Children, Women, Youth, Elderly to share with them the appropriate message from the Bible along with the current miracles the Lord has been doing in the lives of many. Then in the larger gathering, a skit is enacted and few songs sung and a main message for the day is shared with the community gathered. This also includes the distribution of tracts door to door by our youths and children. Many commit their lives to Christ and some express their willingness to attend our Church services. For the most needy, separate counseling is done on one to one basis and to families. |

Church Planting |
We are fully aware of the fact that we may not be able to reach the masses by being established at one single place. India is a vast country with plenty of opportunity to share the word of god. The mandate given to each Christian is to share the good news with every one possible. We are conscious of that fact and trying our best to reach out far and wide in this Country. If God is willing we may even reach out to the neighbouring countries in the years to come. We have already started reaching out to the neighbouring States like Orissa, Jharkhand etc. We are developing the local leadership in the new areas of outreach. We are also encouraging God's servants from South india to go as missionaries to plant new Churches in the North india. | |

1 Train and develop missionaries and pastors : $400 X 100 = 40,000 2 Acquire land and build Churches in the remote places : $20,000 X 20 = 400,000 3 Bibles in vernacular languages and other literature for distribution in the new areas $250 X 20 = 5,000 4 Musical instruments as appropriate for the new congregation : $500 X 20 = 10,000 |
