COVID-19 RELIEF EFFORTS: INDIA
Since COVID-19 hit India in 2020, we have helped over 3,800 families in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, and Telangana with food supplies, medical aid, and financial gifts. We have also financially helped 2,000 rural pastors and their families survive through the crisis.
Now a second, deadlier wave of coronavirus is sweeping the country. Between April 18 and 25, India reported 2.24 million new cases, the highest number recorded by any country in a seven-day period. As India is drastically lacking medical oxygen in its overflowing hospitals, several thousand people die daily.
To prevent the spread of coronavirus, many states have again implemented lockdowns, and some state governments have prohibited public meetings and church gatherings. COVID has pushed millions of people into dire poverty, including many rural pastors whose churches are shut down. Please pray for them and help them as the Lord leads you. Read More…
SERVING ALONGSIDE INTERNATIONAL
Serving Alongside International (SAI) is a non-profit, tax-exempt, evangelical and mission-minded Christian organization committed to fulfilling three Biblical commands of Reaching the Nations (Matt 28: 18-20), Loving God and Neighbors (Matt. 22:37-40) and Equipping Leaders (2 Tim 2:2).
EQUIPPING NATIVE LEADERS
Eighty percent of independent rural pastors in India are not theologically trained. They cannot meet the everyday challenges of evangelism and church ministry without help. We are involved in providing on-field theological education to the ambitious pastors and evangelists through one-day, two-day and three-day seminars. We are currently training 1200+ leaders a year.

SERVING COMMUNITIES
Millions of Indians do not have access to healthcare. More than 163 million people in India do not have access to clean water, the highest in the world. At least 35 million children aged 6 – 14 years do not attend school because of lack of resources. About 200 million people do not have electricity. Therefore, we are trying to help communities with various developmental projects and resources.

REACHING THE UNREACHED
As of 2020, less than 7% of the country has been reached with the gospel. There are 500,000 villages that do not have a resident gospel worker. There are 300,000 villages that are still looking for their first church. Through contextual means and social work, we are able to give hope to the people that do not know Jesus. We help the church planters and evangelists with resources.

DISASTER RELIEF
Whenever India is met with natural calamities such as epidemics, floods, fires and earthquakes, we would like to help struggling people with funds and necessary supplies. We are now helping thousands of people affected by the COVID crisis. We have recently extended help to flood victims in Andhra. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need and share God' love with them.
