Last week we were blessed to host Chirie and Kamala - Executive Directors of Mission India (http://www.missionindia.org).    As many of you know, SOTH helps to support Mission India as they attempt to reach the estimated 400 million Indians who have never heard the Gospel.    Mission India trains native church planters to spread the Gospel throughout India, they support Childrens Bible Clubs (similar to our Vacation Bible School) because 32% of India's population is under 15 years old, and they work extensively with the roughly 400 million (there is that number again) illiterate adults.   This adult literacy work not only brings the Gospel to many, but helps to address poverty at its root and gives men and women new found hope for the future.  

 

Within our own congreagation, we have members working to translate the curriculum into one of the 1652 languages and dialects spoken in India.  What's that?  You say you can't speak one of the 1652 languages and dialects of India but still want to help?  As a congreagation we will continue to support Mission India, and you can support them individually with your prayers and financial support (http://www.missionindia.org/node/8).
