Concern Mission in India
With the second largest population in the world, India is a diverse country with 22 officially recognized languages. Hindi is spoken by 43.6 percent of the population, but English with status as a subsidiary official language is used for national, political, and commercial communication.
The population of India is 79.8 percent Hindu, 14.2 percent Muslim, 2.3 percent Christian, 1.6 percent Sikh and 2 percent unspecified. Hindu nationalism, with its notion that to be born in India is to be Hindu, has broad societal support. Persecution of Christians has become increasingly severe in recent years.
Managing the Elderly with maximum support
Pastors Joel and Deva Paramanandam, our local missionaries and pastoring the Breakthrough Center Ministry located in Tamilnadu, India often receive requests to pray for the sick, and those people put their faith in Christ after seeing God heal them. Generally, believers start with research and prayer, and then they plant churches by locating a “man of peace” to the disciple, organizing evangelistic outreaches, facilitating home fellowships, and training new Christians to reach the unsaved.
Poverty is rampant, and outreaches that meet needs for food, clothing, and health care are warmly received. Local missionaries also provide job skills training, microenterprise loans, and other means of engaging communities to help lift them out of poverty.
Kingdom Expansion Evangelism Program
Community and village outreach program
Hundreds of local believers bringing the Good News of Salvation to remote areas where Christ’s name has never been heard have no Christian community to support them and need prayer and support.
Church Planting and Mission Support
Numerous evangelists are planting churches by faith, on little or no income; they need support along with funding for bicycles to reach villages and to purchase Bibles and other literature.
Partner with Local Pastors and Missionaries in India
Assistance is needed for the support of Local Pastors and Missionaries in India
The hungry and needy children are fed when provisions are made available. Assistance is needed for Concern Mission International to help purchase land and construct church buildings in a country where religion is not regarded as legitimate without structures for prayer and worship.
These buildings provide protection, stability, and encouragement to the growing Christian population. Support is also needed for conferences that bring workers together to share experiences and strategies.
Feeding the Hungry in India
You Can Make a Difference
Your gift will help get the gospel to people in India and places that are difficult to reach or close to foreign missionaries, such as the strict Hindu communities. These places are home to indigenous ministries whom God has uniquely gifted to grow His kingdom in their homelands effectively. They know the languages, cultures, and customs of the people they are reaching for Christ. However, these ministries are also based in some of the world’s most destitute countries, and the fledgling congregations they have planted are too poor to provide for their needs. This is where your support can make all the difference by providing the resources necessary to help the gospel reach all around the nations of India. We will ensure that your “where needed most” gift goes where it will do the most good. No matter how your gift is used, you will help the gospel of Jesus Christ reach people in the world’s most difficult mission fields, transform lives, and bring glory to God.
