The outreach is to the Dalits. He obtained credentials so that he could represent Christians before the national government and has opposed legislation that permitted persecution of Christians. They send out many missionaries to the north and only solicit funds to support them. His own church is self supporting despite the fact that the Dalits lose all government advantages when they become Christians. My own church supports another mission and orphanage that is east of there as well as outreaches to lepers and gypsies, the latter of which are lower even in Dalits in cast. They suffer great persecution and our pastors are no longer allowed to travel there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigenous missions helping the Dalits (untouchables) and also lepers are also helped through Christian Aid Mission. Several hundred missions in India receive support through them. Because most congregations are too poor to support their own missionaries/pastors, this is why they need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like having lepers who are cured go out and heal in Jesus’ name the community that feared them when they were lepers. God is so good, he takes the weak and makes them lead the strong.

The church building was lost due to an extremist Hindu attack. The church is building a boundary wall to help protect the people and the building. About half of the amount needed for the wall has been received. Delhi: Nine native missionaries travel 20 to 30 miles per day to proclaim Christ and disciple followers of the Lord. Motorcycles would be a great help in their ministries. Info from Christian Aid Mission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ministry wants to encourage the workers with a small gift...a blanket, a piece of clothing or Bibles and literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy rains have hit many Christian families, 30 of which need help replacing their roofs. India & Nepal - An indigenous ministry has helped revive several churches with training and guidance.

Hindus don’t evangelize, they get people to assimilate their beliefs through Yoga and etc. Note only some yoga practices include spiritual parts. Others are the same as physical training and stretching practices in the military or martial arts. It all depends on who's running the yoga class.
