Introduction
I addressed the transitions we have faced recently and expressed gratitude for the continued support that has enabled us to help those in need in India. Our plan was to provide insight into the remarkable work being done in India through God's grace and mercy, and to highlight the importance of involvement from our community.
Main Points
The Ministry Of Send Hope Exists
The ministry of Send Hope exists to connect generous donors from the U.S. With our brothers and sisters in India.
- Over the course of the last year, despite facing transitional challenges, we've sent $1.5 million to various ministries in India.
- This financial support is critical as it addresses both the spiritual and physical needs of a population where 2.3% identify as Christian and millions live in severe poverty.
- Through your generosity, we are planting churches, training local leaders and providing education to combat illiteracy.
- The statistics are staggering, highlighting not only the need but the potential for transformation through Christ.
When I Travel To India And
When I travel to India and witness the gratitude in the eyes of lepers and widows, I am reminded of the profound difference your support makes. One widow tearfully expressed her thanks for a sewing machine provided by our donors, which enables her to provide for her family.
- These moments are not just heartwarming stories; they embody the essence of our mission to bring hope and healing in Jesus' name.
- It's a privilege to be a conduit of God's love and to stand in representation of those who give so selflessly.
- For those who are new to our ministry, I invite you to consider joining us in this vital work.
- There are numerous ways to get involved, from sponsoring a child or pastor to participating in fundraisers.
Running Events Like The Upcoming Half
Running events, like the upcoming half marathons, allow us to both raise funds and cultivate community engagement. I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, whether that means physically running or reaching out to potential sponsors. Each act of love contributes to a bigger purpose in sharing the Gospel. Our community is built on the love for one another and a desire to serve God. Galatians 5:13 reminds us to serve one another in love. Each participation not only advances the mission but also enriches our spiritual journeys as we walk alongside each other.
Serving Leads To Blessings, Many Times In
Serving leads to blessings, many times in the form of deepened faith and a clearer understanding of God's generous heart for His people. It is through giving that we receive His blessings, as indicated in Luke 6:38. We are witnessing an increased need, with the number of children we support rising from 450 to nearly 800. The doors for ministry are wide open, and there is no intention to limit our outreach. This is a clear call for us all to assess our gifts and abilities. Are you able to help with administrative tasks?
Can You Pray For The Ministry
Can you pray for the ministry? Perhaps your skill is in hospitality or teaching. Each of us has a role in expanding this ministry. I encourage you to take action, whether it's through prayer, financial support, or volunteering your time.
Conclusion
As we reflect on the incredible work being done through Send Hope, let us also contemplate how we can personally engage in this mission. Our involvement isn’t merely an obligation; it’s an opportunity to express our love for God and our commitment to serving others. Your unique talents and gifts can be used powerfully in this ministry. Remember, as we love God and serve others, God promises to bless us beyond what we can imagine. Together, let us continue to respond to the calling of our faith with open hearts and willing spirits.
