IV. Our Ministries:

1.  Reaching the un-reached through Missionaries: India is a vast nation with more than 600,000 villages in it. While more than 500,000 villages have no Churches in them, people in more than 300,000 villages have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It may sound unbelievable, yet it is true to its core. The Nation India needs to be reached. There are thousands of people in India, perishing without the Saving Knowledge of One True God Jesus Christ for want of preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. Those villages need to be reached. Those people in the village need to hear about God's Love and the sacrificial death of Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross for them. God loves them and we strongly feel that He wants us to reach them for Him. Good Samaritan Ministries is reaching these villages by training and sending missionaries in to villages where there is no Gospel. Now, there are 37 Missionaries who are working in Different villages of Andhra Pradesh. So far, we have reached 320 villages that had no Christian Witness. This year, 37 more villages are being brought to the Saving Knowledge of Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord. Good Samaritan Missionaries are, undoubtedly, are achieving remarkable results because of the scheme, which the organization implemented, known as "Each Year Catch A Village". The missionaries are encouraged to choose 10 or 15 villages and reach them village after village in a span of 7 years.  So, all these 37 missionaries are doing a wonderful job in reaching the villages they have chosen according to a plan. Praise the Lord for the Lord is using them for the expansion of His Kingdom. Amen.

2. Church Planting: We want to construct a Church in Each village where we have taken the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Good Samaritan Ministries’ Prime Goal is to prepare a people in every village who will then reach the rest of the village by the Christian Community in the village. After the missionary moves to another new village, we want to construct a church building in the village where the people of the village can gather together to praise the worship the Lord. It has been our desire to construct at least 12 churches in a year in 12 different villages that have got the good number of Christians in them. So far, we have been able to built only 11 churches in all the past years.

3. Gospel Crusades: Good Samaritan Ministries takes the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the un-reached towns and villages by holding Gospel Crusades, which are generally attended by hundreds and thousands of people. God the Holy Spirit mightily moves in these Gospel Crusades, convicting people of their sins and coming judgment. The Lord is using Pastor Sudhakar Mightily to preach the Word with Power and Authority. So far, more than 22,000 people have accepted Lord Jesus as their personal Savior and the Lord through these Gospel Crusades. These Crusades are mainly conducted in the towns. Usually the Gospel crusades in each town last from 3 days to 5 days.  One month before the Crusades, the Good Samaritan Crusades team goes to the particular town and works for these crusades by going to every house and street in the town, telling people about these crusades and inviting them to attend the same. This team makes all the arrangements such as Publicity, Making tents, Stage and seating arrangements, transportation etc... They work voluntarily and take care of the people who have newly come to the Lord, counsel them and prepare them for water baptism.

4.  Youth Meetings: Youth has been one of the main concentrations of Good Samaritan Ministries. In fact, this organization, in the first place, came in to existence with a Vision to reach the lost youth for Christ. It is our pleasure to inform you that, by God's abundant Grace, we have been blessings to many many young people by leading them to Christ the only Savior of the World. Primarily, we reach the youth by Conducting Youth Retreats and Youth Conferences which are really very very effective in the lives of young people to get to know that Lord and to have strong fellowship with Him. There are hundreds of young people here who can testify of the Great and mighty a thing God has done in their life though our Youth Retreats and Youth Conferences. To Him be alone all the praise!

5. Child Evangelism: Good Samaritan Ministries believes that the Children are very important in the Kingdom of the Lord. Jesus Himself gave much importance to Children and He rebuked His disciples when they tried to hinder them from coming to Him. Children have always been one of the main concentrations of our organization. We try to reach them through Child Evangelism, Sunday Schools, Vacation Bible School, Children's Bible Club etc... We are very much pleased to tell you that we have reached more than 2900 children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have trained 13 Sunday school teachers who try to reach the children regularly according to a plan. Our Sunday school teachers regularly go to different Sunday Schools every Sunday and teach the kids. We also show the kids puppet shows, different skits, action songs and etc... Our main aim in doing children's ministry is to let the kids know that Jesus is the Lord of the world while they are still young. We want to plant the seed of God's love in their little hearts. Thank you.

2.      Night Schools for Tribal Illiterate people: The trial people are one of the main concentrations of Good Samaritan ministries. It has special heart for them because they are very backward and have not seen many good things in life. Most of the people are born in ignorance, live in ignorance and die in ignorance. They know very little about the civilization. Moreover, they are the people with blind and irrational beliefs. They worship the idols made of wood, stone and clay. They practice things like witch craft, infant sacrifice etc… We know education plays a major role in eradication of ignorance. So, we are trying to educate them through this Night School. The reason why we choose night schools is because all these people go to work during day. We could achieve amazing results in this. We have established 3 night schools in 3 different areas. They are doing very well. More and more people are showing their interest in learning education. We are pleased to inform you that many people who were once illiterate are now able to read, write and effectively communicate.

V. Current Project:

Children’s Homes: As stated earlier, Good Samaritan cares for 152 orphan and destitute children. Speaking from the beginning, in June 2005 we inaugurated a home for 50 orphan kids. We were able to take a good care of them, giving them good food, education and shelter. As we saw the more orphan children (because of the Tsunami which claimed many lives), wandering the streets without any hope and expectation in their lives, half naked and begging whole day for their bread, we inaugurated another home for 52 kids in July 2006 and later we inaugurated one more home for 50 more kids in November 2006. Thus, now we have 3 homes where 152 kids are loved and cared for.

What we need: To provide each of this 102 kids with sufficient food and too meet all their needs satisfactorily, we need 25 USD dollar each child per month. We are looking for some kind and generous people or some social organizations that have heart for street kids so that they can support and sponsor the kids. Just your 25 USD per month can make a needy and orphan child smile here. We will be very much grateful to you if you can have compassion on these kids and arrange some help for these lovely kids. Thank you.
