The Lives You Touched in 2021

 

As 2021 draws to a close, we reflect on the many amazing things God has done and the lives He has touched through you, the heartbeat of our ministry. Whether you gave, prayed over a pastor and our ministry, shared a social media post, or attended an event, we are so thankful for your faithful dedication to the vision God has called us to.

Thank you in advance for any year-end contribution you have planned. Every victory the Lord gives is accomplished by your love, your prayers, and your generosity. God bless you richly in 2022 -  Tom Caprio and the Kerusomen Board

“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.” - 2 Corinthians 9:12

MEET MARY GRACE & THE ANIMALS WHO CHANGED HER FAMILY'S LIVES

 

Karthi, also called Mary Grace, was one of the nearly 200 beneficiaries of Kerusomen's New Hope Ministry last year-end campaign. Pastor Thankkayan went to her village in Tamil Nadu where he met Karthi. When he learned she was an 87-year old widow supporting a mentally challenged daughter - plus her two grandchildren - he was filled with compassion. On his next visit he returned with female goats and chickens to feed and supply income for Karthi's desperate family, who were struggling when the pandemic closed the family's only source of income, Karthi's vegetable farming business.

BECAUSE OF COVID-19, INDIA'S POOR
POPULATION DOUBLED OVERNIGHT 

Mission field stories of changed lives drive us to PRAY, PARTNER, and PROCLAIM God's mighty works and love for the poor in India's rural villages even more this year. 

IN HONOR OF OUR GREAT GOD

Let's stand with KGM's 70 pastors who are right now locating suffering families in India that need our help. 

WHERE WILL MY MONEY GO?  

Your gift of any amount* will purchase income-producing animals for India's vulnerable widows, children, and families. 

HOW ELSE CAN I HELP? 

Share KGM's New Hope opportunity with your friends and family! Forward our posts on Facebook and spread the word. Most important, keep us in your thoughts and prayers every day.

 KGM'S 100% PROMISE

100% - every penny - of your gift goes to purchase animals on the mission field.

How Can They Hear Unless Someone Tells Them?

 

...How can they hear unless someone tells them? 

Romans 10:14

Meet Michael and Monique, KGM partners who are sharing God’s mighty works among India’s illiterate with their friends and family using the Bible Story Scarf. Michael and Monique know that when a village in India gets access to the Gospel, Biblical values transform people, families, and entire communities. Husbands love their wives, wives respect their husbands, children honor their parents, and families serve their communities through their church. 

The Bible Story Scarf makes it possible for villages with no Bible translation in their native language and for the illiterate to experience this transformation. We’re grateful for partners like Michael and Monique who are spreading the word about the Bible Story Scarf to help KGM equip100 more trained storytellers in India before the New Year and reach our Year-End goal. Equip a story teller in India now:

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...
