Some quick facts about our ministries:
 
  • Why do you call your organization "Jesus Mission?
  • What is your faith affirmation? Are you Trinitarian in faith or are you Jesus only 
  • What is your mode of work?
  •  How can we help you in your ministry?
  • What about your missionaries?

 
 

A: Well, in John 20:20, Jesus says: “As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” Father has sent Jesus with a mission and he accomplished that mission in His way. Now Jesus is sending his disciples to accomplish the mission, or asking them to realize the mission, which he accomplished on the cross. So we have given a mission to accomplish! That is the mission of Jesus, or, it is Jesus’ mission. We have to accomplish in the Jesus way, of the cross! Therefore, Jesus Mission is dedicated to accomplish Jesus’ mission in Jesus way!
Q: What is your faith affirmation? Are you Trinitarian in faith or are you Jesus only. 
A: We are Trinitarian in faith. We are following the faith testimony of the mainline churches. 
Q: What is your mode of work?
A: Jesus Mission is involved with Evangelism, Church revival, Church planting and charity ministries.

 

Evangelism.

Most of the mission fields of Jesus Mission are in places where Christian population is negligible, or some times nil. In Bundelkhand region, where we started our work, only one out of thousand people are Christians. In Chambal region, where there are around Ten thousand villages, even hundred villages do not have a worshipping community. In Himachal Pradesh, the state Christian population is less than 7,000. From 1992 onwards, God help us to take part in the evangelism of places like this. We do visit houses, preach gospel, distribute literature, show Christian films… and do whatever that will help spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ!

 

Church revival Ministry

By church revival ministry we mean the reviving of the existing nominal churches, especially in North India. Any one who has an exposure to North Indian Christianity will know that the biggest hindrance for evangelism is the “lost of saltiness” of existing Christian society. But many of them are the possible human resource for the coming explosion of Indian evangelism. Some of our missionaries are commissioned by our Lord to revive the “sleepy among the dead” people. They conduct Revival meetings, do personal and family counseling and guide them in the will of God. They expose the Word of God and exercise the gifts of the Spirit.

 

Church Planting

Jesus Mission is involved with church planting too. Now we have many small worshipping units in different states. We should admit that most of these units are very small congregations and in many of the units you can see only a handful. We call it house churches. But praise God! They are growing!

 

Children Home

As per the special guidance from the Lord, We started children homes in 2001. In these children homes, children from very remote villages, from heathen backgrounds, will stay with one of our missionary family and live in a Christian atmosphere. They will be given good education and better care. We pray that these children will be equipped properly, and in future these children will go back to their villages as agents of light. 
We have two such homes in M.P. and an orphanage in Karnataka. In Damoh, we have another home for the children of our missionaries who work in remote places. We pray and plan to start new homes in Gwalior, Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, very soon.

 

“Let those who are literate read it!”

The days of “Angutha wala” (putting thumb impression in place of signature) is disappearing. India is no more a land of the illiterate! True, most of the Indian villagers are still illiterate, but those who are in the towns now read and write. Around two third of the Indian population are literate now. But what they will read? The surplus literacy is never reaped by living letters. The quantity of Christian literature in vernaculars is negligible and the quality is poor. So we pray and plan to print, publish and distribute some literature in Hindi as a beginning. We have already published a tract and one booklet and two more books are in the process of publishing. Please pray.

 

Bible Training Programs:

Any one in the pioneer mission field will understand the need for the involvement of local missionaries in evangelism. Many of the local people have calling for field ministry, but they are not trained for the ministry. As many of them are having access only to their local language, there should be missionary training institutes, which will train local people in their own language.

In the year 2000 we started our first Bible school at Berhampur, Orissa. We named itEmmaus Bible School. The medium of instruction was Oria. Then we started our second Bible School in Chhattisgarh. We name it Emmau Bible Institute. This year ten youths are unndergoing with the bible training. God willing we want to start more training institutes in other parts of India. We also plan to give training by extension to the Hindi-speaking missionaries in the field.  

 

Children Ministry

We are having missionaries with a real burden to work among the children. Almost every mission stations are having Sunday schools in different places. Also we have a number of weekly “children clubs” for non-Christian students. We have annual V.B.S programs in many of our mission stations. This year God we had twenty V.B.S in Chhattisgarh itself. The V B S opens door for more work in villages.

 

Prison ministry

We try to reach the prisoners of the local and central prisons with the gospel of Jesus on a regular basis. We try to help them change by giving them education, teach them courses in computer or handicraft work, so that they can live a normal life when they come out of the prison. We have regular meetings in the male, female and juvenile prisons in Chambal region.

 

Literacy programs

True, people of Indian towns are becoming literate. But the Indian villages are still away from letters. This is a painful fact even with new generation. That has become a matter of concern in the minds of our missionaries from the very beginning of our ministry. Now we are having small schools in villages to make the young ones literate.

 
Q: How can we help you in your ministry?
A: We work in the pioneer field. If God gives a burden in your heart, you can certainly start praying for us. We will be happy to provide the needed information to help you to pray more meaningfully for us. You can visit us some times and spend few days with our missionaries. That thing will certainly be an encouragement for our missionaries. Of course, you can support the ministry financially, but that is only one way of helping the ministry. 
Q: What about your missionaries? 
A: Many of our missionaries are people with a lifetime commitment to a place or a people group. We believe only people with that sort of commitment can win lives for the Lord. Even others who are with a lesser time commitment, we encourage them to look to God for a commissioning to a certain area or people.  When they are placed somewhere according to their vision, we are little flexible on strategy. We urge our missionaries to follow our common policies, but they can decide on the modus operand according to their guidance from the Lord. We promote teamwork in a place.   Every individual worker is related to their leaders, or some other workers. That make it sure that work is done in a proper manner. We are not just supporting our missionaries- we support our mission work. So work is carried out in a planned manner. Our mission and missionaries follow a faith policy. We pay money to our people for their moderate living, but not a certain amount as salary. Of course, God’s people everywhere support us financially, but we are not seeking promises for a regular support. If God urges them to support us regularly, let them do that. But we look to God for our needs. Those who support us in our ministry is not just “sponsors”, but our partners.
