India Work Empowered & Multiplied by Native Dairy Farm. Our water buffalo dairy farm in South India acts as a self-funding fuel cell for several of our outreach programs listed below. The dairy farm enterprise empowers our native staff with the ability to take ownership in their work instead of waiting on handouts from the West. Why dairy? Milk is a staple in the Indian diet. With the human population boom in India (currently over 1.1 Billion), the dairy output has not been able to keep up. Thus milk is highly profitable. 100% of the profits are directed back to our various outreach programs in India, thus the dollars you entrust to us as a donor are multiplied many times over.

Orphan Care. Due to the crippling effects of extreme poverty and disease in South Asia, millions of children are orphaned, roaming the streets in gangs or falling victim to child prostitution, human trafficking or forced labor. India has more orphans than any other nation: 35 million. Our orphanage in South India acts as a safe harbor in the midst of this darkness, offering orphans a way out of the dead-end of despair and hunger. Through the work of our ministry, these precious children are provided a loving home where Jesus is the centerpiece of their education and physical well being. Thanks to newly expanded facilities, we now have room to bring in many more children.

Widow's Seamstress Business Initiative. Peace Gospel's Widow's Seamstress Business Initiative is successfully empowering widows who are among the poorest of the poor in South Asia. Many widows in this part of the world are socially shunned and often pulled into the darkness of prostitution. But Peace Gospel is offering widows a way out of their poverty and despair. As we receive sponsorship funds from donors like you, widows are taken through a 4 month training program and then equipped with a sewing machine and basic supplies. This allows widows to start a practical in-demand business that provides for their family. Through the incentive of a micro-credit program, the newly commissioned business owners will pay back their equipment costs in affordable monthly installments. These payments are placed into a fund which is then used to commission more widows into the program.

Wheelchair Distribution. Peace Gospel International has made it part of its mission to distribute wheelchairs to disabled dalits ("untouchables" shunned by society) in India free of charge. This is making a huge impact in areas where wheelchairs were before only an elusive luxury. People previously confined to literally crawling along on the ground are gaining mobility for the first time in their lives. According to a recent census report taken in India, 70 million Indians are classified as disabled which is about 6% of the population. Of these, only 2% are educated and 1% employed. It is our hope that by giving the disabled the gift of mobility, the statistics will not be so horribly stacked against them.

Slum Outreach: Clean Water Delivery. Over 22% of India's urban population consists of slum dwellers— those who live in make-shift homes and get by on less than $1 per day. This makes India home to the largest slum population on the planet, with over 60 million slum residents. Thus a large portion of our ministry is focused on slum outreach. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1,600 children die every day in India due to diseases caused by contaminated water. Peace Gospel is laboring to deliver clean water to those living in the slums, where water contamination problems are rampant. Providing clean water for the poor creates economic opportunity because they can focus on getting back to work rather than spending so much time looking for water.

Slum Outreach: Child Immunizations. Peace Gospel missionaries are working in conjunction with local governments to provide Polio Eradication centers. Often thought to be already eradicated, Polio is still a great risk in countries like India, especially in their thousands of remote villages. In addition to our fight against Polio, we are also distributing Typhoid Fever vaccinations.

Slum Outreach: Education Development among the Destitute. Millions of children live in the Indian slums with no opportunity to receive an education, let alone any normal sense of nourishment or hygiene. In 2005 we developed a program in India to reach out to the children of the socially oppressed Dalits, or untouchables, who are considered unworthy of education in Hindu culture. We have equipped our native missionaries to launch three Dalit Schools that are now educating children who would have otherwise never had the opportunity.

Making Disciples: Native Missionary/Pastor Training. "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Indeed there is much work to be done in South Asia, but a dire lack of laborers. At the Peace Gospel Bible College in South India, we are training and sending out native missionaries & pastors to bring the hope of the Gospel to their communities.

Making Disciples: Church Planting & Support. An integral part of our mission since our founding in 1993, church planting and ongoing support of pastors has resulted in the creation of scores of new congregations. Many of these are in "unreached" areas where the teachings of Jesus Christ had never before been uttered. Most of these congregations meet in homes or outdoors. We've had the blessing of constructing some church buildings to better facilitate their gatherings, and hope to build more as funds permit.

Blessing the Church: Bible Study Distribution. In 2005 we partnered with Kardo International Ministries to coordinate the translation and printing of their Bible Study "Wisdom for Mothers" into the Telugu Language. The printing is already seeing high circulation. This is the first women's Bible Study of any kind that has been translated into Telugu. With 80 million speakers, it's the 11th most widely spoken language in the world. One might think that resources abound for the Church in such a major language, however literature is surprisingly scarce. We've rejoiced in how this study has been very well received by Christians and non-Christians alike, and is offering mothers practical and spiritual wisdom from God's Word.

Blessing the Church: Music. In 1999 funds were provided for some of our native missionaries in India to produce their own recording of Christian worship music in the Telugu language. These are all original songs written by Telugu speakers. This has been a great blessing for the Body of Christ among the Telugus, as there are not many recorded native-written worship songs in Telugu.
