The year 2021 started with feelings of fear and helplessness. By March, the fear of death was playing in the minds of the people. The Corona virus numbers continued going up and hospitals and health centers became full. The government of India was doing everything they could to help, and yet helplessness continued to grow.
However, the people of God trusted in the Lord and continued in prayer and sharing the love and affection of God through good works. God opened new opportunities for service, using small opportunities to glorify His name and reveal His glory among the people. Thousands of lives were touched, healed and delivered by the Lord’s grace and favor. 2021 became a harvesting year! Our brothers and sisters in the mission field and our outreach teams accomplished a lot by the grace of God this past year.
Here are some of those accomplishments:
- Reached over 980 unreached villages.
- Reached more than 62,000 unreached homes with the Gospel.
