India is the world’s largest democracy, with a population of over 1 billion. With only 3% of India being Christian 97% people are under deep religious darkness, there is very big need for evangelism and we have very little resources to carry this out. There are over 400,000 villages with out churches with a 60% people are under deep poverty and 45% of people who cannot read. The Lord has touch my heart watching our peoples suffering through persecution and spiritual death. Our people donot have to suffer if they put the Lord Jesus Christ first in their lives. Through our ministry we are making difference, but much more help is needed to reach all of the people of India.
There is an increase in violent attacks on the Christian minority. But Christians are rejoicing in our sufferings because we know that “suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character and character produces hope”. In the midst of this persecution Christianity is growing. Harvest is plentiful, but workers are few.

We would like to share with you some of the excitement of the work that God has given us to do in India. We were born in India and God touched our lives separately in mighty ways, and gave both of us a desire to serve and reach the people of India. One of our special scripture is Isaiah 58:7 where God asked us to share our food with the hungry, to provide shelter to the wanderer, to clothe those who are without clothes and not to turn away from our own flesh and blood.
We knew from personal experience that when you gave your life to Jesus in India you immediately came under persecution. Most are kicked out of their family, ridiculed, and in some cases never see their children again, and God had given us a burden to serve our brothers and sisters who are in this situation. God promised us that we would be the “parents” to thousands of children. According to the vision God has given us, we have started the orphanage in 1997 and is called the “Rose of Sharon Children’s Home”, named after our daughter Sharon. God has used the name of the Orphanage to remind us of the word that He gave us to look after the children in our care exactly the same way as we would look after our own daughter. This is certainly a responsible task and one that can only be accomplished through much prayer and with God’s grace.We are continually praising God for the doors that are being opened to us in India for the opportunities to present the Gospel. We also praise God that we are linked with partners across the world as God has given us all His great commission to reach the world with the good news of the gospel, and we are well aware that the workers are still few.

Students from different parts of India are studying the Word of God here. We now have 47 students who are preparing to go to the harvest field, particularly in North India where there is much persecution. With God’s help we provide free tuition, food and accommodation. It is our vision to provide ongoing support as they go out and plant churches in North India.
Harvest Mission Bible College
This Public School started in June ’99 and we now have 400 children who are being taught all their subjects in English. Our focus is student achievement and safe and caring schools. We shepherd children with individualized instruction, and administer to the whole child, satisfying physical, academic, and spiritual needs.
Many of these children come from very poor backgrounds and quite a number have come from Hindu families. It is our vision to reach out to the non-christian community through this school and also to educate our orphans. Our children enjoy the benefits of a quality Christian education. We provide education from pre-school to upper primary school which is recognised by state government of Kerala. We are in the process to upgrade and gain recognition for high school section.For that we have to buy extra land and construct new buildings.
We invite you to become a part of this effort, helping us to meet the needs of these children as they struggle to overcome the difficulties of their young lives.
According to God's vision we have started church ministry in North India on January 2000. Now it is extended to 6 states of India- Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradhesh and Kerala. There are 36 churches and in all places we need church building. God is drawing many to His Kingdom through Harvest Mission Churches.
Prayer Journey
Pastors and Evangelists from different denominations get together twice in a month to pray for India. Like Joshua marched around Jericho and took Victory, we claim the land for Jesus by driving around the cities with prayer in our mission bus at midnight. the Lord has given the land in our hand. India belongs to JESUS.
ROSE OF SHARON - Childrens' Home
According to the vision from God this orphanage started its function on 1st January 1997. There are now 45 children with us who have come from situations of deep poverty and difficulty. We provide free accommodation food and education. They have all received Jesus Christ, and now they are prayer-warriors. It is our vision to raise up a mighty army for God.
The children in SHARON have faced many difficulties in their young lives… you can offer them the strength and encouragement they need to develop and grow. You can change a life forever.
