More Than Gifts — It Is Dignity

India has become a world leader in religious persecution. Their government declared that Hinduism is the only religion, and many states have made it illegal to convert or practise Christianity. Christians are being dragged into the streets and beaten for singing Christmas carols, pastors are being routinely jailed. Organisations like Compassion International and Samaritan's Purse have been evicted, even though the government knows there is no one in the country to support malnourished and suffering children.

India is full of wonders, colours, beautiful people, and exciting exotic adventures. But it appears to care nothing for the most vulnerable population — the poor and destitute. The small villages have been hit unreasonably hard. A true humanitarian crisis has developed, and children are suffering the most. On a good day, a child may receive one small meal. Today, those meals come every other day if they are lucky.

The situation is heartbreaking and seems overwhelming — except for the fact that we have a big God to open doors to relieve their pain.

“Sowers Ministry is in country and ready to help. The focus is on the small villages hit hardest. The plan is to deliver boxes of joy to each child — your gift box of love will contain a nutritious meal, a new outfit, flip flops, a toy, and candy.”

— Pastor Jay

You can sponsor one child and a box for $30. That is all it will take to bring joy into the life of a child in India — and no child will be turned away, regardless of their faith.

Since our inception in 2020, we have distributed over 8,000 boxes across Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Odisha. This year we are hoping to give 3,000 boxes. Please help us be faithful in meeting this need again and growing the ministry as more churches reach out to us for help.
