Because of your generosity, First Church fully supports the Words of Hope Jehanabad Regional Mission Center in South Asia, providing 100% of the funding needed to sustain the ministry and its staff. Through this partnership, the Gospel is being shared, communities are being served, and lives are being transformed across rural villages.

Ministry Highlights

• The team is currently serving 304 villages across seven districts in Bihar, bringing church planting, discipleship, and community outreach to communities that often have no local church.
• 113 people were baptized during the most recent reporting period as individuals placed their faith in Christ.
• Four new house churches were established, creating places for worship and discipleship in areas without church buildings.
• A large Christmas outreach gathered about 1,500 people, sharing the message of Jesus with the broader community.
• 10 tuition centers serve 275 underprivileged and orphaned children, providing education, encouragement, and hope for the future.
