Mission Trip @ Tamilnadu - 23 Sep 2019

In September 2019, Ps Dhamo and Peter Pillai had the vision and desire to assist some of the Indian brothers from LCOR who had returned to Tamilnadu. So contact was made with some of our Indian brothers so that we can spread God's love and blessing to them. On 23 September 2019, this became a reality and we proceeded to Trichy as the central meeting point.

To our surprise, 18 of them showed up on 24 September! They came from deep down south of Tamilnadu. Dindugal, Madurai, Tanjore, Salem, Thondi-Theni, Chidambaram, Chennai, Bodi, Rasipuram and Bangalore. All of them had to travel between 2-4 hours from these various locations and overnight travel from Chennai.

We gathered in a room in a hotel and started with Praise and Worship. Thereafter, we started sharing as to how they can improve their lives. Some of them had skills that they did not know how to put into practise. We showed them skills like tailoring, textile sales, spices, raw sugar, farming (cattle and goats) which will give them added income. We also showed them how to tap available resources such as Government grants and NGO guidance, of which many of them were unaware. It was a full day discussion and by the end of the day, the folks grew to be aware of what skills and available resources they can tap on.

On 25 September, we went to Rasipuram and shared the same vision with 42 Pastors so that they can advise their members. This was an eye opener to these folks and we pray that they will be an example to the community around them. (Whilst writing this, seven of them are already tapping resources for assistance.)
