Project Overview

Mani was a runaway from a strict Muslim homelife when Brother Kam found him begging at a train station. Mani’s amputated leg was infected, so Kam fed him, took him to the doctor, and shared the gospel with him. Mani wholeheartedly prayed the sinner’s prayer and began reading the Bible. The Hope for South Asia’s Slums team helped Mani get an artificial limb, enabling him to start a government job and rent a small house. His Bible was with him at all times, even when he went home to see his family at the urging of the ministry team. Though Mani’s father was a staunch Muslim, he was delighted that his son’s life had changed. He told Mani, “If Jesus has done this much for you, then I will not hinder your faith in Christ. Go to church, read the Bible, and pray.” Mani does just that. Pray for Mani to grow in faith, for his witness to his Muslim family, and for the Hope for South Asian Slums ministry to guide many more lost souls into the kingdom of the God who knows and loves each of them. With more than twenty-two million people, this city needs thousands of healthy, reproducing house churches to reach all those who have never heard of Christ. Some of those new churches have been birthed in a slum. Your gift will help local believers change this slum village with the love of Christ. Give to meet basic needs of families and children living in the slum and provide gospel materials to share the hope of Christ. Come and work in the slum, sharing the gospel, planting churches, and making disciples who make disciples. Your partnership will help transform this city by reaching “the least of these” in the slums.
