India 2022
Nov. 5-15
Come this November, we will be parading the joy of the Gospel into the mysterious land of India, ministering to widows in a remote area through prayer, preaching the gospel with power, deliverance, washing feet, running a medical clinic, and feeding the hungry. The sick will be healed and those in bondage will have their bonds broken by the sweet presence of Jesus. We are looking to establish a more permanent work in this area so that the widows have sustainable medical care, provision, water, and food. If we don't help them, who will?
Trip Cost: $2500
Overseas Missions has led trips to the “Tiger widows” in India a number of times in the past. These ladies were widowed by Bengal tigers and now considered untouchable by their caste system. They are rounded up and sent to remote villages like modern day lepers. Some of these women are young women, some children, widowed because the man they were promised to passed away before they were able to be actually married. The government largely ignores their plight. They are not allowed to work normal jobs, and the religious system in India condemns them.
On our past trips we have done the following:
-set up and facilitated free medical clinics
-fed them
-preached the Gospel. There were many decisions for Jesus.
-lots of physical healings
-Established a sowing center so the ladies could make clothing to sell and sustain themselves better.
-bought them a semi full of wool blankets
-paid for a well so they could have clean water
-We were given land on a 99 year lease to build on in order to help the widows.
And now we are going back!
Here is how you can help:
-go on a trip with us to the widows.
-Share about this trip.
