Donations and Estate Planning

 

If you have arrived here, you are looking for a way to assist in this work. Our support comes from individual members of the Churches of Christ.  From these we solicit support and prayers.  Since the work we do is the Lord's Work and is sponsored by the Eldership of the Manassas Church of Christ, we do not seek any monetary means from other than those who understand and agree with those things that we teach to the lost souls on the Indian Continent. 

If you wish to support this long standing work, there are many ways to do this and they are listed below.  

A monthly donation is the most effective and most needed method to assist in this work.  Since we need to make a budget, just like everyone else, then a regular amount is much easier to make some plans with.  

But any help is very effective and very much appreciated.  

Ways to Help:

  1. Monthly or Quarterly Gifts

  2. One Time Donations

  3.  Voluntary Work

  4. Traveling to India with the Bullards (Detail available by phone of email) 

  5. Estate Planning to leave a portion of your estate toward this work (see below)

 

Donations can be mailed to:

  • India Missions
  • Manassas Church of Christ
  • 8110 Signal Hill Road
  • Manassas, Virginia 20111

Make any checks payable to: Manassas Church of Christ

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.

Despite the risks, the students intend to return to their homelands after graduation and plant churches.

The school began in 1971 with the goal of training “reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others,” president Nehemiah Gootam said, quoting the words of 2 Timothy 2:2.  

Those “reliable men” come increasingly from the Global South — India, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. Churches of Christ in these locales have boomed in the past century. Learn More

These numbers are possible because India is a huge country with more than 1 billion people. Today one of every six people in the world lives in India.' By Ron Clayton

I have been working in India since 1979. It has been quite a ride! On my first trip, I worked with one American and many Indian preachers for 25 days. I preached 61 times.

As a team, we baptized 900 souls. Much of this work was in new areas where teaching had been done, but churches had not yet been planted.

The idea that Americans go to India, preach and baptize hundreds after they hear the gospel one time is false. In each of the places I went, local Indian preachers had been working for months — sometimes, years. They had been teaching, planting and watering. Learn More

indiamapNEW DELHI, INDIA - The nimble rickshaw puller squeezes between street vendors on the narrow streets of India’s congested capital.

Peering between the stands selling samosas and chai tea, two American church members glimpse a service at a Hindu temple. Worshipers, on their knees and covered in flowers, wait to get a blessing from the priestess.
After the puller dutifully unloads their bags, the visitors wade through the bustling train station and begin the journey south. It’s a 30-hour ride to their destination.

Through the train windows they see the crowds of people evaporate as the urban sprawl of New Delhi gives way to fields of endless rice. After a night sleeping on the train’s flat berths, the visitors awake to a changed landscape. Learn More
