Why India?

Because India is hurting...

412 million Indians have never even heard the name of Jesus

With 330 million objects of worship in India, Indians are looking anywhere and everywhere for salvation

Superstition and idol worship has an iron grip—there is no forgiveness or joy

In the face of such overwhelming physical & spiritual poverty, the Gospel brings power, hope, and eternal life.

Because India is seeking...

Christian workers are already in place across India

India's people are responding eagerly to their bold witness

Because India is where God is at work today

Slum Ministry

61.8 million people live in slums

They have very limited access to water for drinking and cooking, a scarcity felt especially by the Dalit ("Untouchable") community. But when a well was dug in this area, it both ministered to desperate physical needs and opened hearts to hear that someone cares for them.

Village Wells

The well not only provided for the needs of the villagers, it softened the hearts where there had once been opposition to NMM-

supported missionaries.

Medical Clinics

Suffering for Jesus’ Sake

The mobs entered villages and attacked Christians, destroying anything that

belonged to them.
