The India Mission
The work in India has produced over 2,000,000 baptisms, has built schools, clinics, and church buildings, preachers' training, publications and bibles, Lectures and Studies, Women's programs and Foster homes, even Gospel Films to be used in Conversion.
Jerris has been involved with the team that worked to produced all of this. Jerris first teamed up with Ron Clayton in 1987. The autonomous Team meets in Hydrabad to discuss shared goals. They discuss the statistics that are kept on the India Church of Christ and work on common goals.
Jerris has been a preacher, evangelist, and missionary for many years. Originally from Snyder, Texas Jerris N. Bullard graduated from Lubbock Christian University, Abilene Christian University, and Sunset School of Preaching. He has preached in Texas, Pennsylvania, and spent 11 years in Great Falls, Virginia. In 1985, he became a full-time missionary to India under the oversight of the Elders at the Manassas, Virginia Church of Christ. Jerris is married to Juanita, who is originally from Baltimore. They have both completed numerous mission journeys to India; by 2008 Jerris had made 51 and Juanita 20 mission trips to India.

To everything there is a season” (Eccl 3:1-8). “A time to be born—a time to die,a time to plant—a time to pluck what is planted,a time to gain—a time to lose…a time to keep silence—a time to speak.”God made every thing beautiful in its TIME. A multi-national company in the USA works during the day & at night turns over its work to India. In this way the company is working around the clock. God gave 24 hours each day for everyone—& if you don’t do the important things while you have the time, you may live to regret it.

The Dharoor Experience
Read more ...
Every year for the past 85 years or so, the Methodists from Hyderabad and surrounding districts have conducted a huge camp meeting near Dharoor (a small village in Ranga Reddy District of Andhra Pradesh). This camp meeting is always in November, and is held in a big open field. It has grown from 10,000 in the inaugural year to about 10 lakhs today (1 lakh=100,000). [This is one million people in attendance.] I went this year to see what was going on. I will tell you why.

Jerris Returns from India
Jerris and Juanita returned this week from an extended stay in India. More details can follow, but in his short report to the Manassas Church of Christ, he stated that from the more than 23,000 preachers that he spoke with, seeing 400 to 500 of them daily, his most requested thing was "Take me back home with you!" This request was not to escape the place where they live, or the work that they have to do, but it was to "Thank the contributors in person" for all of their prayer an support.
Whom shall we send?
KAKINADA, INDIA - India’s missionaries train here.
They come to the Kakinada School of Preaching from across India — including Bihar and Orissa states, where Christians routinely suffer persecution. Some bear the light skin and Asian features of Mainipur state in India’s far east. A few are from Myanmar, a nation in Southeast Asia where religious gatherings often are restricted or prohibited.

India Report - January 19,1998
Dear Brethren,
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will leave for India tonight. Accompanying me will be Quentin Clark, an elder with the Brevard, North Carolina congregation and his daughter, Milissa, of Raheigh, North Carolina. Jim Cunningham of the Sunshine congregation in Wheelersburg, Ohio, will join me in the work in February as the Clarks are returning to the States
Report - August, 2010
Dear Brethren,
"I'm back in the saddle again...out where a friend is a friend.” What a great song by Gene Autry. Following a long year of sickness, those wonderful lyrics, by the singing cowboy, are the music of our hearts. By the grace of God Juanita and I are fully back! She is cancer free, and arthritis surgery has greatly relieved much of the pain in my right hand. Thanks to so many of our readers who have supported us by means of prayers, cards, and emails.
Report - April 2009
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we travel among our supporters these days we have become aware that many "new" brethren do not know us as well as we would hope. Therefore, in this newsletter we will try to briefly introduce our work to those who are newer to our acquaintance. This may also serve to re-acquaint some of our long time supporters with the basics of our work. Hopefully this will help to kindle or re-kindle your interest in the India mission work which, no doubt, is one of God's greatest acts to save people in the history of the church.
