MISSION NEWS:

INDIA

We are actively involved in current mission efforts in India, including fund raising, training works, medical clinics, the establishment of new congregations, construction of new church buildings and providing gospel tools for the native preachers, teachers and church leaders. A special financial fund moved from Lockney, Texas, several years back and is maintained under the direction of the 50th Street Elders.

A special Twenty Fund was established in 2005 with the direct purpose of financing annual mission trips and training works. The goal is to encourage 20 congregations to commit $1000 annually with the intentions of these funds fully financing all travel, training, bible fund and other expenses related to the annual mission trips.

Below is Dr. Caleb Showreelu of Chevella, Urella and Tangidapally. Dr. Showreelu runs a medical practice in Chevella, along with attending to three congregations. The 50th Street Church has supported Dr. Showreelu for more than 15 years. We are also helping to provide the education funds for his son, Vinay.
