Thank you ~ for taking time to visit our web site
and for learning more about our work within rural villages of south India. India Village Care Ministries (IVCM) is a Christian organisation (registered non profitable charitable trust) with a real heart & vision to reach rural villages with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to provide practical care and social works.

Around 73% of people in India live in villages and as a result many of these places contain millions of people that are unreached with the Gospel and are often forgotten about. Many are living below the poverty line without proper food, accommodation, clothes and do not have access to education and medical facilities. In addition there are many thousands of orphans and semi orphans or abandoned street children.

IVCM is a relatively new organisation that is committed to holistic Christian mission and is concerned about people, including their spiritual, physical, mental, social well being, in light of the great commission of Jesus Christ and the biblical mandate given. Our primary work at this point of time is village evangelism and our secondary work is providing a vital level of social service and also working and encouraging other independent rural village pastors.

 

We are experiencing much blessing and seeing rapid growth in the districts we are currently working in as a result of being committed to the Lord's ministry in these areas, but as we enlarge our hearts towards this new work we realise how important it is that we seek the help and outside support of likeminded people who want to share in accomplishing these important tasks! We need to sustain the evangelism and social works we have begun in a variety of ways and so if you feel you are able to help and take seriously the task of praying and encouraging please read on and discover more about what God is doing through our ministries.

Please consider how you could participate and become involved in these exciting opportunities that we have been given at this time. We at IVCM are passionate about serving the Lord in this new mission opportunity and we need his help through his people to pursue and explore ways of coordinating our efforts as we seek mission partners.

“ This service you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.”
…….. 2 Cor 9:12–14  

  


Praise ~

An answer to prayer came when an anonymous donation was recently given specifically to purchase a digital projector & DVD player together with a screen. This equipment has since been bought and has enabled the team to take films such as the ‘Jesus’ film around to villages as a useful evangelistic tool.

 

Projects ~

We need to help support two pastors with “Buy a cow project”, this will involve buying 4 cows and a cow shed to accommodate these animals (land is already available along with an experienced herdsman). The cost is estimated at around $300 per cow and $600 for the shed and basic equipment. The total cost for this project is therefore around $1800. Anyone interested in buying a cow or sponsoring this project please contact us immediately!

 

Prayer ~

Pray that the bibles being distributed will encourage both mature and new believers and strengthen their faith as they read their own personal copies for the first time! 
Pray that the Lord will ‘open doors’ of opportunity for Rod & Kym (international trustees) to speak in churches and raise support for this new mission.

Pray that God will release funds through his people to be able to build a new Christian Centre = new church, orphanage and tailoring workshop; at an estimated cost of $20,000. The land has already been bought!
