In the bustling city of Rajahmundry, India, sits a church built from caring hearts and committed funding of the people of Inland Hills Church. It all started a number of years ago with a Christmas shoebox that was sent by a little girl in our church… and was received by a little girl in India. An exchange of letters started and before we knew it, our churches were working together.

In 2007, Pastor Dave and Carol traveled to India to meet Pastor Joshua where they experienced first-hand the great need in this part of the world. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 tells us to go into all nations and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Through this missions opportunity, we are able to show our love and care for Pastor Joshua, the people of his church, and the lepers and children of India to whom they minister. As a church family, we continue to provide food, medicines, and hygiene items for lepers.

Through the giving of our church family, we have also been able to provide Bibles, bicycles, and motor bikes for evangelists taking the Good News of Jesus Christ into jungle areas and remote villages. We have purchased gas lanterns for those living without electricity, new fishing nets for tsunami victims, and drilled a fresh water well for 70 families living on a remote island.

One of our ongoing projects is to provide monthly support to 35 evangelists serving as local pastors in remote villages where they meet in thatched huts. We are currently in construction on our second village church and we hope to build many more. IHC has also purchased land for a future orphanage and school.
