India

"Spiritual home of Hinduism"

More than a billion people live in this huge country which dominates south Asia.

India is the spiritual home of Hinduism. Of the 820 million people in the world who follow Hinduism – 96% of them live in India. The whole of Indian society is based on Hinduism, which divides everyone into different ‘castes’.

India’s economy has grown quickly in the last ten years and India is now a nuclear power, but it is home to many of the world’s poorest people. Over 600 million people in India live in deep poverty and another 300 million don’t have enough to live on each day.
"over 600 million people in India live in deep poverty"
"41 million people live in India’s city slums"
"it could take 100 years to translate the Bible in all of India’s languages"

Bibles for India

We are in need of Bibles in the Hindi language for missions in India. The Bibles are available from a supplier in the United Kingdom at the cost of around £8.

If you would like to sponsor a Bible for India, please contact us for more details.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matt: 19:14)

TJVK MEMORIAL SERVICE ORGANISATION is working with orphan and poor christian children by providing them books, note books, stationary, clothing, food and water. The neglected orphans and semi orphaned children are cared for in a Children's Ministry. Free accommodations, food, healthcare and education are provided.

"See what love has been given to us, that we should be called children of God."-1 John

TJVK MEMORIAL SERVICE ORGANISATION is in need of your donations. We are particularly looking for people who can commit to sponsoring our Children's project on a continuous basis. As a result of your generous assistance you will help the children who are in dire need of your assistance. They currently reside in bad living conditions or on the street, suffering from malnutrition and treatable illnesses. Your aid will help these children in relocating them from the streets and into a safer Christian environment, and subsequently provide them the necessities of life. Praise to God for your generosity!

TJVK MEMORIAL SERVICE ORGANISATION has been successful in reaching many untouched hearts behind prison walls. We need your support in this.

Challenges for Prayer
  • India has more people groups with no Christians or churches than any other part of the world. This is a challenge that the worldwide church has to respond to.
  • Hinduism is the world’s third largest religious system. Pray that people searching for fulfilment and truth through Hinduism will find Jesus and get to know God, their creator.
  • The church in India is growing. Pray that the church will develop models of discipleship and ways of worship that reflect their own culture.
  • Pray for the Indian missionaries working in India who face increasing persecution and opposition. Some have been martyred in recent years because they have shared their faith, shown films about Jesus or tried to distribute Bibles.
  • There are 41 million Indians without a home, many living in the slums of Indias largest cities. Pray for those whose lives and health are at risk everyday.
  • Pray for the children and young people of India. Half live in poverty and many more are malnourished. Millions of children work sweatshops or are sold into slavery to pay off their parents debts. There is also a growing trade in child prostitution, buying children from neighbouring Nepal and Bangladesh.
  • There are at least 400 languages spoken in India. At the current rate of progress it could take 100 years to translate the Bible in all of India’s languages. Pray that the translators would be equipped for this challenge. 10 million people in India are blind – a quarter of the world’s blind population. Pray for ‘Torch Trust for the Blind’ who are producing the whole bible in Braille in 12 major Indian languages.
  • An amazing 100,000 Indians find out about Jesus everyday through the Jesus film. Pray that God would protect the teams of evangelists who are taking this film around the country.
