VMM PROFILE

13.9      EDUCATIONAL HELP FOR POOR CHILDREN:

We extend our helps to the poor School Children financially—by paying term-fees once in a year.  When they admire us why and we teach them the Gospel first and they gradually come to the fold.

13.10. MEDICAL CARE FOR THE VILLAGE CHIDREN:

We, the Evangelists and Missionaries of VMM go to our Field Villages and find them that are sick and affected with Chronicle Diseases and         guide them to the relief through Clinical Treatment as well we take Pastors to the particular homes for praying for the sick that they may be healed divinely.

13.11. CHILD – CARES - CHILD:

This is a scheme and plan that the children can support the children themselves ie., the able children can support the unable children in many aspects ie., by helping the unable children to come up from poor standard to a better one and from ill health to healthy one and from non-educational to an educational one etc.  We approach the rich and           moderate children’s home and explain the house holds how we can love our neighbours by our actions and deeds in so much how they can extend their helps to the needy and poor children who are in the down stage in many aspects. They feel awareness and almost all of them start getting into the action.  Thus through this system it becomes           possible that a child can care a child to a successive level.

13.12.  HELPING THE ORPHAN & POOR CHILDREN:

            Our Evangelists and Missionaries go on a survey in our targeted villages and Field-villages and gather up the very poor and orphan and semi-orphans and bring to our Children’s Home.  But as our Home is full we keep them at a ready level to be admitted into the next Home Admission.  These out-number our targets.  Yet they that are in the ready list could be helped with our out ward extension helps until we get the sufficient provisions. And afterward the standard of these children and their Home living experiences (new) are brighter in every aspect.

13.13. HELPING THE CHILDREN OF STREET & SLUM DWELLERS:

We go to the Slum areas and the streets of huts where the children are ugly and unclean; and many of them are under child labour bondage; we gather them and teach them the Hygiene and health.  We distribute biscuits and eatables and teach them education with Gospel.  And a good impact is received from these societies.

13.14. HELPING THE PHYSCIALLY AND VISUALLY CHALLENGED     CHILDREEN:

More than about 40% of our Field-Villages; we are able to find few handicapped both of physically and of visually.  They need others support for their daily activities. This seems so pitiable.  We meet them and inquire of them how they could become victim to their abilities and we guide and help them accordingly and appropriately

13.15. HELPING THE CHILDREN OF GYPSY PEOPLE:

Although these people groups appear rarely to our places, we find them in the town Bus-stands and Railway Stations; we arrange “GO-GIVE CAMPS” and “INVITE-GIVE CAMPS” to these poor vagabonds and we distribute them sustenance, clothes and soaps etc. Then we teach the Gospel to these gypsy people.  We gather all the children of these Gypsies and teach them Songs and Bible Stories. They are very anxious to know the Truth.

13.16.  YOUTH MINISTRY:

Village Missionary Movement has completed 10 years in ministry.  The children we first met have become youths. For them we conduct weekly prayer cells and Bible study. We also conduct evangelistic camp and three days discipleship camps for boys and girls separately.      

 In some villages through these youths we start tuition centres.  Through these tuition centres, we uplift children’s educational standard and also we preach gospel to these children.

 Further we carry on the following programmes for the youth.

 

13.18. THREE DAYS CAMP:

The new young people of our fields who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ in  their lives, in the ONE DAY CAMP or in any other occasion are brought to the 3 DAYS CAMP. The three days camp is difercified for both GENTS AND LADIES  on different dates.  Here the youngsters are taught what they need pertaining to the Spiritual Growth basing the doctrines of BAPTIZM of WATER and of THE SPIRIT centering the greatest subject—that is the LOVE of God and of Neighbour. The counselling also is given to particular young people about their TEEN AGE PROBLEMS and other things that would confront them as the obstacles for the growth of their spiritual life.

13.19. LEADERSHIP CAMP:

These Camps are held in all of our fieds and in all our targetted States--    (Tamil Naadu; Andhra & Orissa) for the young people either male or female (but in different places and different dates) who have committed their lives for the Lord Jesus as well to do the ministry to Him.  These are taught on various subjects of the BIBLE. And these after got trainned;    are utilised to be leaders of our Prayer Cells in the villages and they can          also be called for to be used in our VMM HeadQuarters as Full-time Misiiionaries.

13.20. EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT:

Illiteracy as for as India is concerned; is primarily due to ignorance and poverty.  Ignorance can be eradicated with mental support; but poverty can be removed with the suffering of one(s) who is having such interest.  So, for supporting such matter; we have to suffer and support.  Of course we do this as far as we can. 

For this we take a careful search and survey and as per priority, we select according to our financial strength few students who might have the dropped-outs or to become drop-outs either in the Higher School Standard or in the College Standard.  So we fetch them and send them to our branch residences and cause them to resume their studies.  For which we have to cope-up the hiring of the residences for our branches as well we have to pay the fees etc., to the institutions where they continue their studies. 

In this support some 12 students are being supported by our VMM currently in this academic year.

13.21. PRAYER CELLS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS:

This is a wonderful work.  Youngsters become the root cause either for destruction or construction.  For the stage is the most active one in the life span of man. The adversary is very curious in devastating the lives of the young people (Jn.10:10).  These people easily fall in the pits of evil and fill the hell. 

Our minisstry concentrates much on this matter and we form cells for praying only irrespective of doctrines or any other seducing.  The Prayer cells get to gether at least once in a week probably in the evenings both in the Colleges and Higher Schools.  For which our leaders would be invited now and then. These cells want to expand themselves both for Counselling and evangelising.  

13.22. MEDICAL CAMP FOR YOUTH:

We approach the Medical Personnels and experts and get appointments and enter in the publication among the public that too in rural side well.  Then we hold the MEDICAL CAMPS in the published places and scheduled dates and time.  We introduce the patients that might have been affected by killing diseases such as T.B., CANCER, AIDS & LEPROSY ETC.  And while we teach such victims they become aware and decide not to touch any intoxicated thing.

13.23.  YOUTH - CARES - YOUTH:

As per this scheme, we search out for the youth collegiate who can have surplus of finance or the amount of finance with which they can support other poor fellow mates—who may be at a dropping out stage.  So we take out a list of the names of persons of such poor standard financially and share the lists among them for their selection and cause the poor standard of the youth supported even by the same youth of the better standard.

13.24.  WOMEN MINISTRY:

VILLAGE WOMEN’S CAMP: When missionaries go to the village they minister among the children and the youths, they could not normally meet the women of the villages as they are shy and also it is culturally unacceptable. To reach these rural women we conduct village women’s camp in every field each year. In the morning session, we share the gospel with them. In the afternoon session, we explain to them why we came to their village and what we teach their children. We also highlight to them the impact of the messages we taught to their children. We also explain to them if their children do not have the word of God, they may become negative element in the society and become nuisance to the families and to the society. The women who attend this camp become very receptive to our missionaries in their consecutive visits. Further, we carry on the following programmes for the benefit of the women.

13.25. FILM MINISTRY:

Film Ministry is one of the best ways to reach the rural mass with the gospel. We screen Jesus’ films and other gospel movies to spread the good news. In the recent years, there are no villages without television or other forms of entertainments. Hence, this is high time to reach the villages to communicate gospel through this media. We used Bible based films in rural churches and youth gatherings for initiating a revival.  Missionary Biography films have stirred many towards serving the lord.

13.26. HOSPITAL MINISTRY:

In all Government Hospital about 90% of the patients are from surrounding villages.  Our missionaries visit these hospitals once a week.  They distribute tracts and share the gospel with the patients.  We give all possible help for those who have none to care for them.  Through the patients who had been touched by this ministry, we start children ministry in their respective villages.

13.27  COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:

           

            We carry on the following activities for benefit of the village people.

-       Medical Camps

-       Eye Camps

-       Veterinary Camps

-       Slum Development Scheme

-       Tribal People’s Welfare

3.28    HOMES:

            We conduct the following homes from VMM.

-       Home for the Mentally Challenged

-       Home for the deserted

13.29   VAN MINISTRY:

In every village of the mission field in which we work, there are many villages which have no proper transport facility. We use the van to visit these villages and to minister to them. For each district, we are planning to buy a gospel vehicle. With the help of such vehicle we can reach out 1000 villages every month

MISSIONS OF VMM

13.        MISSIONS OF VMM:

13.1    CHILDREN’s MINISTRY:

In the initial stage, Village Missionary Movement’s main ministry was general village evangelism.  We went from village to village conducting gospel meetings.  Though there have been many healings and miracles among the people, the cultural bondage prevented them from accepting Jesus Christ. This discouraged us very much.  However, during prayer, God spoke through John 21:15 to take up children’s ministry.  From that time the primary focus of village Missionary Movement was the children of the villages.

            Every week missionaries reach out the village regularly.  There they teach the gospel

         and lead them in prayer.  In every summer holiday we conduct VBS (Vacation Bible         School) in every village.

13.2    REGULAR FIELD VISITS:

The workers of our VMM (Village Missionary Movement) visit the villages and the children therein weekly where there is no church or the church             which might have been stopped and monthly the places where there are       inactive churches.

13.3    CHILDREN’S HOME:        

Almost in every village we visit, we come across orphaned children. They are either fully orphaned or partially orphaned for various reasons such as parents’ death due to of some diseases or parents being sentenced in prison for some crime. These children live in a desperate situation with their grand parents or some          relatives, who find it very hard to feed them. They are also deprived of education, parental love and affection. In such cases, we adopt such orphans from the village we visit. We provide them healthy food, decent dressing and good education. Above all, we conduct prayer and Bible classes every day. In spite of law being forced, female infanticide is still practiced in many parts of the state. We rescue such girls-children and adopt in our homes. Also every year we conduct children’s camp in every field.

13.4.     VOCATION BIBLE SCHOOL:

These schools are held in the new villages; after we have visited as well in the regular villages.  The duration is five days and these are held annually. Our Evangelists and Missionaries go to these villages and stay among them for holding these VBS. We purchase Books, notes, gifts, crayons, charts pictures visual-aids flags, Posters, Song sheets, Audio/Video cassettes and distribute to them by free of cost.  We also commemorate the last (5^th) day as the Talent day Programme that the public particularly the parents are invited to view their children performing the Gospel activities and skits etc.  Thus almost all the public come to know the Gospel.

13.5.     SCHOOL MISSION & CHILDREN’S CLUB:

            The plan is set that the VMM Evangelists and Missionaries to go to the       Public School and meet all the students teaching them prayer, and Bible            stories and establishing children’s Clubs without having any partiality          between religion or caste or creed.  This has to cover both the rural and             urban population.  This is carried out at least once in a week.
