BLIND PEOPLE BY THE SCORE! |
|

Mission To The Blind,
with 65 full-time workers and growing, reaches thousands of blind people in
India every year. They offer practical help and God's message of HOPE
through Jesus. Having no building of their own,
MTB for 13 years has shifted
from place to place at the whim of a landlord.
You and your
church, if you will, can help establish them in their own building
and equip them to reach into the darkness of many more lives.
And many joining together can make "small work" of accomplishing
something wonderful!
Together we can do
it! God has surely opened a door for whosoever will. Here's
how:

GOOD NEWS BEARERS |
 |
Srikumar came to Jesus from a strong religious family who worship
Hindu gods. His life was empty. Upon receiving Christ he was
filled with such new-found peace and joy that he began telling
other people of his wonderful experience. It was then that God began
calling him to give his life as a full-time minister to his
native people. Leaving his job as a tailor, he is now one of
the Evangelical Bible College missionary trainees. He and
many others are learning God's
truths and how to reach their nation with the 'glad tidings of great
joy'. [meet them]

Excitement
abounds as laborers begin unloading materials. The dream for
a Bible College that will equip young missionaries is becoming
reality. That wasn't too long
ago. And now, a few years later, expansion is necessary.
Already there are new churches being planted in distant places,
even as more God-called students arrive. Dedicated hearts
are eager. Alas, funds to expand and equip them are delaying
the plans. Come see it happening, then help with this great
work if you can. [more]

Summer
vacation time at the Bible College began with preparations all
made. In a rented van, 15 students and 5 teachers began
their mission outreach that lasted 19 days, till the money was
exhausted. In that time, for $1050, they visited 45 different
villages to witness about Jesus. Most witnessing was door to
door. About 32,000 gospel portions along with personal testimony
were given to the people. Six small meetings were held for over
4000 villagers. During the campaign, 415 people came to Christ
publicly, and nearly 325 women did so secretly, for fear of
either their male family member or the anti-Christian village
elders. Everyone who has given can rejoice for making this
possible. [pictures]

ALL ABOARD FOR THE
HILL TRIBE |
 |
Most
tribal people live away from villages but visit there for
supplies. Some find work in the fields and paddies. Others
still live deep in the jungles in nomadic fashion, often eating
roots and other forest plants.
A large number live across this
lake and one by one they are being reached. As usual, much effort is required to get acceptance with them and to gain
their trust. The result is worth it all, though. Only the indigenous missionaries could reach them
for Christ. Our part is to provide the funds and support
them in prayer. [come

Amidst the daily media accounts
of terror and murder and pillage by angry people, others are
quietly and lovingly reaching out to hurting masses. We
are here to assist you in being part of the solution. We
identify and extend aid to hundreds of worthy native
missionaries that God has
placed in cultures foreign to us. Your gifts will rescue a
child, give hope to a blind person, enable a lost person to hear
the Good News of Jesus, train a young missionary, feed a hungry
leper, build a church, maybe even prevent a future terrorist.
Come be a part of it! |

CHILDREN
OF THE CITY SLUMS |
 |
Like from the 'Old Woman's Shoe tale' these children seem to
overrun the tiny hut behind them. They are sitting on the
dirt, but that is what they are accustomed to. The broiling
sun is no match for Stephen who is there to teach them songs and
games and Bible stories. Every weekday the missionaries of
COME go into the foul and dangerous slum areas with love and hope
for otherwise hopeless people. [more]

MILLIONS OF BLIND
PEOPLE |
 |
India has around 15 million blind people, many of whom are
destitute. Blindness has a social stigma because it was
caused by misconduct in a person's former life, the predominant
religion would say. Here a blind girl who has found hope in
Jesus tells a blind village lady how she, too, can know Him.
Mission To The Blind holds special retreats that encourage the
participants to help their blind friends and neighbors know the
truth. Will you share so others can hear? [more]

PARADING WITH
PURPOSE |
|
Unique and effective in
a heathen land
|
|
Joyful
singing, happy faces and waving banners fill the roadways and
paths leading through the village. This is a Sunday School
parade, held annually in villages all around the increasing number
of local churches. As people find peace and hope in their
own lives, they begin to sense an inner stirring to help their
friends and neighbors. First they heard. Now they
share. God sent His Son to be the Savior of all people who
will hear. Imagine how it must please Him when his children follow
his example of witnessing, loving and giving in Jesus' Name?
Let us join them! [give]

FACES AND HEARTS OF
LEPERS |
 |
Leprosy
isn't feared today as it once was but it still affects many people
in India. As they are identified and placed in colonies,
most must live with scarred faces or nubs for feet and hands that
readily identify them to outsiders. Living can become
depressing. But in some colonies, the message of hope in
Christ resounds! It is thrilling to go into Indera Nagar
with Rajan, the local WFW missionary who himself was once a
world-loving evil person. Whatever time of day, the word
goes quickly of his arrival. The little church house soon is
teeming with people, hungry for his loving smile and another
message of hope from the Word of God. Pictured is our friend
Paul with his new friend, a leper!

BY ALL MEANS, JESUS |
|
What nice smiles as these young women show off
their handiwork to one of our visiting US missionaries (who is
there at her own expense). A training center for young women
provides the wonderful way to show and tell of the fulfilling life
God offers through faith in His precious Son. Day by day as
skills to earn a living are learned, the deeper truths that give
meaning and purpose to life are being absorbed. The minimal
charge to them is supplemented by gifts from those who aren't
called to go, but who will give to help reach the lost in all the
world. [more]
