Mission of Joy also supports numerous Indian-born missionaries. The financial support provided by Mission of Joy makes it possible for these poor believers to bring the Gospel to remote villages.
Over 1 million villages exist in the nation of India. Most have never heard the name of "Jesus" Our prayerful heart is to send 100 new missionaries a year into the mission field.
Mission of Joy builds churches on the average of 4 each year. Many of their native missionaries enter villages with little more than the clothing on their backs. The villages they are reaching have no knowledge of the message of the Gospel. Mission of Joy help them establish a church by providing a modest sum to construct a simple church. (The cost of these rarely exceeds $1,500).
Mission of Joy believes nations that have closed their doors to foreign missionaries can only be won for Christ by indigenous believers. It is their joy to support these courageous men and women.
Mission of Joy conducts an average of 25 crusades a year in India. During the winter of 1994, Mission of Joy saw more than 10,000 Hindus and Muslims commit their lives to Christ. In 1996, Mission of Joy saw 3,000 more give their lives to Christ. They try to reach out to the most remote villages of India.
Many people live their lives on the edge of starvation in India. A bowl of rice is all that stands between life and death for many. Mission of Joy attempts to feed as many as come to their door. Needless to say, this task is capable of outstripping their financial resources. However, God has helped them to serve thousands of meals each week to the poorest of the poor.
Mission of Joy believes they can make a difference, between heaven and hell, between life and death, for many in India. It is their desire to bring the gospel to a million unreached believers and provide permanent homes for many orphans. They build one orphanage at a time as God helps them.
Mission of Joy has established a sponsor program for Christians who feel led to help. Let us all hope that Mission of Joy can bring the light of Lord
