Rural India

“Jesus began to act and preach.” To fulfill His mission, we ought to act and preach.

The mission of Jesus is seen in action at NASA. You have seen the miserable conditions of the untouched and the oppressed, the crying of orphans for love, the compassion for AIDS victims, lepers, and the aged.

You have seen the “acts”. To fulfill the preaching NASA, through Nazareth Ministries, is taking the Word of God to India’s villages by conducting gospel crusades, pastors’ retreats and youth retreats.

NASA also visits the people bonded to magic threads, sorcery, idol worship and preaches about the living God. The ministry works against the belief that animal sacrifices bring salvation and preaches that only the blood of Jesus brings salvation. Daily, hundreds of goats and chickens are sacrificed at a nearby place of idol worship by people who come from various villages. Nazareth Ministries reaches out to these villages and preaches the Gospel to save them from their blind beliefs.

Nazareth Ministries conducts Crusades and youth camps – particularly for the rural youth in order to encourage and support them to take up Bible education so they too can establish churches in their villages to lead their people to salvation.
