Project Overview:
The subcontinent of India lies in south Asia, between 
Pakistan, China
and Nepal. To the north it is bordered by the world’s highest mountain
chain, where foothill valleys cover the northernmost of the country’s
26 states. Further south, plateaus, tropical rain forests and sandy
deserts are bordered by palm fringed beaches. Side by side with the
country’s staggering topographical variations is its cultural
diversity, the result of the coexistence of a number of religions as
well as local tradition. Four major world religions, Hinduism,
Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated in India, providing a
difficult challenge in sharing God’s truth within the country.

Since its independence, the issue of poverty within India has
remained a prevalent concern. Its estimated that about a third of the
global poor now reside in India, suffering from the effects of
illiteracy, malnutrition, and disease. Indian residents living in slums
amid squalor face serious deficiencies in basic needs like clean water,
sanitation, medical care, and education. More than 40 per cent of the
population is illiterate, and India has a higher rate of malnutrition
among children under the age of three than any other country in the
world.

Ministry Description:
India is a land of extreme contrasts, mystery and beauty, but its
greatest asset is its people. On this adventure, you will have the
opportunity to build relationships with some of India’s locals who are
in dire need of a our time and energy. You’ll be working with
established Christian ministries in the Southeast part of India. Much
of your focus will be spending time with orphans who have spent so much
of their life being neglected and abandoned by their own community.
Other opportunities to minister will likely include spending time and
pouring into the locals, working with local congregations and maybe
even having the opportunity to help plant a new church. By giving
yourself away, you will be able to be evidence of Christ’s love to the
most desperate and destitute members of Indian society.
