India
In 2007, ASSIST began a partnership with two national ministries in India. ASSIST supports evangelism and church planting in the Araku Valley. This ministry also includes the Hope of Glory Children’s Home that shelters and feeds 200 orphans as well as the Sunshine Free School that provides free education to over 130 poverty stricken children.
In northern India, ASSIST partners with indigenous evangelists who travel from village to village by bicycle sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with the Maithili people group. The ministry continues to grow and local believers are being trained in evangelism, new churches are being planted, and God’s Word is being published in the local Maithili language.
