Children’s Ministry
Recognizing the conditions in which village children live, we established Children’s Bible Clubs to minister to physical, mental and spiritual needs. Trained teachers conduct classes – which include Bible stories, instruction in social skills, and assistance with school lessons – two hours each day.
Prison Ministry
With permission of the authorities, our workers visit local jails where we sing gospel songs, present drama, counsel with God’s word, and preach the Gospel. When asked to do so, we pray with the prisoners. We offer toiletries, sweets, fruits etc. as tokens of love. Many have listened to the Gospel and accepted Jesus.
Evangelism
Our evangelists endure obstacles and difficulties to travel to remote villages where the Gospel has never been preached. They visit door to door, distribute Christian literature, and preach the Word of God. Over three hundred house churches have been established with new believers being added daily.
