2021 Thanksgiving Blessings

To our beloved USA Kerusomen family members and our India pastors and churches, we thank God every day for each and every one of you. Our hearts are full of love for you as we pray daily remembering "...before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that He has chosen you," (1 Thessalonians 1: 3-4)

You inspire, encourage, and spur us on in the work of this ministry. May God's grace and love surround you and your family this Thanksgiving. With grateful hearts, Tom, Kathy and the Kerusomen Board

Empowering India’s at-risk women is a priority at Kerusomen Gospel Ministries. That’s why mission field stories of changed lives drive us to Pray, Partner, and Proclaim God’s mighty works and love for India’s at-risk women even more this year.  

 

In India, girls struggle in life from the day they are born until they die. Females are unwanted and considered of no value because they can’t pass down the family name. Here's a few reasons why KGM stands strongly with India’s women...

Giving Tuesday 2021 Year-End Campaign l Kerusomen Gospel Ministries

 

On  #GIVING TUESDAY we make a difference. Over the next few weeks we'll introduce you to some beneficiaries from our previous Giving Tuesday Year-End campaigns - giving all the glory to God and His mighty works through you! So check back here and on Facebook.

God Bless You

 

A BIG THANK YOU!  

Thanks for making our Fall into Christmas Breakfast a spectacular success. We had a full house!

Your feedback was unanimously enthusiastic. 

Everyone loved the new Family Church Sherbrooke venue; all were uplifted by the mission updates; and Tom Caprio's presentation got two thumbs up. 

When we asked Lois Daley for feedback she said: “Don’t change a thing – it was perfect.” Praise God, the glory is His alone.

We can never thank you enough for standing with us and the KGM India pastors.

May God richly bless you for your decision to take action bringing hope and compassion to the unreached in India through your partnership with Kerusomen.

Because you care, God is forever changing the fate of those who have yet to hear of God’s amazing love.

Your positive response and immediate support for KGM’s Pray • Partner • Proclaim Ministry and Pastor Saha's God-given Vision 2022, is an answer to our prayers.

A good percentage of you immediately became Pastor Prayer Partners, monthly investors in a native pastor's ministry, or the Bible Story Scarf Gospel outreach ministry.

Others were led to partner in KGM's Compassion Ministries, ISOS Women's Training, Charis Widow Rescue and the New Hope Animal Income-Producing ministry. Your love for the Lord and surrender to His leading was evident. It filled us with joy and glorified Him.

Thank you for committing to...

PARTNER as God leads

Your Compassion in Action l Kerusomen India Food Relief

KGM Churches in India are sharing the love of God in tangible ways every day and we’re standing by them through our prayers and generosity.

Together we've launched four ongoing projects that provide:

• Prayer support for KGM Pastors with our "Pray for 90 Days" ministry that links partners here with a particular KGM Pastor in prayer;
• Income-generating gifts in the form of chickens and goats to help downtrodden families, widows, and children;
• ISOS Transformation Group small business income and savings training to help destitute widows and women become self-supporting; and
• Since the pandemic began, KGM partners, through KGM churches, have supplied tens of thousands of meals to starving villagers of all faiths in India.

India’s “second deadly-wave” this summer has spurred KGM pastors into action again. They are delivering food to the sick, the needy, and the isolated widows on a regular basis.

Many thanks to our partners who have continued to support KGM’s food crisis fund. You enable us to respond quickly and demonstrate Christ’s love in action.

“Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth”   John 3:18

Children of God are not hypocrites. We don’t just say we love God; we show it by obeying his commands. We don’t just say we love our fellow man; we show it by living in a way that puts the needs of others first.

And that's what we love about YOU, KGM partners. You don't just talk about God's love, you show it!  Thank you.
