India - mission update

Church planting & mission outreach

Particularly in light of the events of the last 18 months, any communication from one of our regular recipients we have not heard from lately is greeted with a big smile in the Trust office. 

In August we heard from one such recipient, Pastor Paul from Mahanaim Ministries in India. Despite the severity of the pandemic in the country, Pastor Paul wrote that his ministry is ready and hoping to receive books from the Trust as soon as we are ready to send them. 

Mahanaim Ministries is a Church planting mission movement working in Tamilnadu, Kerala,Telungana, Rajasthan and Odisha, through some 59 career missionaries. Mahanaim Ministries was founded in 2000 by Pastor Paul who came to Christ from a traditional Hindu family. Following engineering college he was moved to plant a church in his own tiny village and his ministry was born. 

Today pastors from Mahanaim Ministries bring the gospel and Bible teaching to those in hostels, hospitals, prisons, gypsy camps and many other challenging and sometimes far reaching locations. In addition to its outreach, the ministry also has a library with thousands of Biblical teaching books and resources for the training and support of its pastors and missionaries.
