The needy and deprived people in Indian society, particularly rural communities, have complete support, protection and care, bringing positive change in their lives.
Why SIM?
Sahara Inland Mission (SIM) is an indigenous mission organization committed to reaching India with the partnership of God’s people from across the world. We are child-focused, Christ-centered and people-oriented in all we do.
We embrace and serve children, families, and communities, irrespective of caste, color, culture, education, or creed. We work for the transformation and empowerment of underprivileged individuals and communities.
Our commitment to Christ
Jesus is a foundation of our ministry. We follow Jesus’ example to show unconditional love to the poor and oppressed.
Our commitment to children
To bring up responsible and productive citizens in society through teaching, counseling, and nurturing orphans and poverty stricken children, facilitating their education and providing employability training to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to live healthy and wholesome lifestyles.
Our commitment to communities
To demonstrate God’s unconditional love for all people through our service.
Future Plan
The Sahara Inland Mission will be reaching out to more communities in rural and tribal districts of the Indian subcontinent. This is where children are the most unreached and neglected by mainstream society, and in great need of love, care and resources.
Ministries
Sahara Baal Bhavan (The Sahara Orphanage)
The Sahara Baal Bhavan (Sahara Orphanage) began on November 15th 1993 when my family took in five orphan children from our community who had no one to care and provide for them. Bringing these children into our lives brought us a deep awareness of their plight and a desire to do more. We began to discover that many more children were desperately lacking the security and sustenance of a home and parental care. This is how Sahara Orphanage became established.
School in Village
Many children cannot afford to go school because the closest one is too far away, or the tuition is too high. Many Indians realise that the best chance to get out of poverty is for their children to get a quality education.
Therefore, we have started village schools. In this way we are planning to start in a few areas, it costs about $7575 to set up a new school. This includes rent deposit, chairs and tables, books, school supplies, etc.
Widows Ministry
At present we have 12 widows in SIM. India is very poor and backward economically. Expect in very few cases most of the Indian women are house wives. Men are bread winners. When a person dies his wife becomes helpless. Unless such widows are comforted and care for, they have to lead most miserable and lonely life in their old ages. SIM shows the love of Jesus to such destitute. By providing food, clothing, shelter and medical care etc. We are convinced that all who belong to Jesus are one in His body the church.
