Construction of Holistic Campus
We are a lean ministry and never planned to use our hard-earned givers’ funds on bricks and mortar. In the last 15 years of ministry establishment, we have invested in His kingdom in India by directly investing on people. In the recent years, we experienced growth in our ministry and began to pray for a small holistic campus.
In 2022, the Lord has heard and answered our prayers with a quarter-acre. On this small piece of property, we would like to construct a holistic building to assist the poor and marginalized communities, operate our state office, train local pastors through evening classes, provide free English coaching to children of the so-called untouchables, assist poorer women with hygienic products, and provide income-generating skill training like sewing, computer skills and so on for impoverished households.
In 2024, we built a compound wall with an iron gate on this land and built a small facility to train women in tailoring. 100s of women want to join the training, but we can’t accommodate more than 20 women in the small building. However, about 50 women enrolled. In May of 2025, 48 women graduated with tailoring certificates. We helped many of those graduated with start-up expenses. It is very congested for them to come at once and learn. By faith, we started the foundation in April 2025 for the building (see the plan in picture) but we cannot move further without funds.
We urgently need $400,000 to construct a three-story concrete building where we would like to provide free sewing training, coaching for school children, computer learning for poorer communities. We also be using the facility for pastors training programs and seminars. Its 14500 sq construction. We humbly request you to help us in this most pressing need in India.
Burned Church Needs Help
An electrical short circuit in the second week of May 2025 completely destroyed one of our partner churches in Andhra Pradesh, India. It happened at 2 am while everyone was asleep. The church has lost its sound system, fans, tables, musical instruments, and all furniture. Last Sunday, the congregation could not worship, except for a few individuals who gathered at the pastor’s thatched house for a brief time of prayer. Local anti-Christians have nearly made it illegal to worship in homes. They have been attacking house churches everywhere. If the burned facility is not rebuilt sooner, the church will die down.
Pastor V. Lazarus, who left the government job upon receiving God’s call to ministry, has been serving the Lord in a village for the past 20 years. About 60 families have been attending the church. The congregation is financially weak, and its pastor, V. Lazarus, receives a small monthly financial stipend from our ministry. They need $8,000–10,000 to put up a roof, walls, doors, and windows. Additionally, they need $3,000 for the sound system, fans, tables, musical instruments, and furniture.
Please pray for his family and ministry, and contribute toward this urgent need if you are able. Any gift is highly valuable for this small congregation.
