Picture the scene. A village church in rural India with 40 or 50 believers that are sitting with focused attention on the message that the pastor brings to them. They may spend 4 or 5 hours together singing praise to Jesus, praying for one another and giving testimony of God's great grace and glory and how He has changed their lives. Now picture the scene just a few months before; no preacher had ever come and share the redeeming power of God through Jesus' death and ressurection. Before this, each of these believers were living in great dread and fear that the local gods in the temple might attack them because they were not pleased with their sacrifices and worship.
What joy the Gospel brings to their lives, your investment in our ministry helps us send hundreds of pastors into these unreached villages and bringing the liberating gospel and setting the captives free! Luke 4:18 gives us a glimps of the ministry that Jesus has intrusted his church to carry on throughout the whole earth " “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,"

Right now, there are nearly 5000 villages in India that are part of being introduced to the Gospel for the first time; God is being gloried in their midst and His grace is abounding among His people!
