RELIEF MINISTRY

In many villages in India there are no First Aid and/or medical facilities. God has given the burden to HARVEST INDIA to work with the medical camps in many villages. We take doctors/nurses and medicine to each village on a regular basis to help alleviate this great need. This is a very effective ministry to show the love of Christ through our deeds. Please continue to pray that God will provide more resources and medical supplies to assist in this ongoing work.

AIDS MINISTRY

Andhra Prasdesh State is one of the states in India having 23 districts in which the total population of 90 million are living. The pandemic of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) poses a great challenge to the population that is living in developing countries. And it is increasingly being realized that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is likely to have a severe impact: on the economy, on the social development sectors, and on the households and the individuals as well. Our District (Guntur) is one of the seven high-risk districts in India comprising a greater number of HIV/AIDS infected people. About 60,000 (roughly 1 percent) of its total population has been infected with HIV in the district.

So far affecting AIDS hit about 20,000 people in the district. More than 50,000 people are living with HIV/HIV. It is a practical reality that about 90% of infections are being identified in the age group of 18-45, which is the productive age group. A family might lose a breadwinner, causing a lifetime of poverty. HARVEST INDIA has the burden to bring those people to Hope Care Center and show the love of Christ.

Before 2010 India is going to lose 25% of its population to HIV/AIDS. The Lord has given the 2 1/2 acres of land to HARVEST INDIA to build a new facility for HIV/AIDS. This facility is designed to treat 100 AIDS patients in-house and provide the treatment for over 200 HIV patients per day in the surrounding area. The total cost of these facilities will be $300,000.00. We are praying that God will provide the resources for this project by bringing together partners who have the heart to join in this great work.

DRINKING WATER

Over 480 Million people don't have access to safe drinking water. In some Indian villages, women face the daily challenge of collecting water for their families. They often walk a great distance and spend up to four hours each day carrying water to their homes. Even then, this need isn't always met. Occasionally the women can only gather muddy water, and well owners often chase them away. HARVEST INDIA is helping to combat the problem by drilling water wells.

Once the wills are in place, we teach them basic health practices. The need is so great. In one region alone, 1500 villages, in our ministry area, are still waiting for safe water wells. When we are able to offer medicine and safe drinking water and provide a permanent blessing for a village, their lives are changed. HARVEST INDIA wants to make this there continual mission in India. We want to do even more, but it costs $1000 to put in one of these wells. When you give $1000, a plaque will be placed next to the well with your name and where you are from. If you would like to offer these suffering people the wellspring of life by dedicating a water-well, your gift can do so much to show people the love of Jesus Christ.

WIDOWS AND ELDERLY

We have been looking after 58 old aged people in two different homes. As you know India has no programs established to help the elderly because most of them are working in the fields all of their life. Not wanting to be a burden upon their childen they must go into the streets and beg for food as they are too weak to provide for themselves. HARVEST INDIA has a burden to bring this aid and the Gospel to many homes as God provides the funds needed to continue this ministry.
