There are 15 villages, 5 mission centres - the church was established 105 years ago. Recently there has been significant growth with many being converted. The original church where Pastor Ponraj ministers was destroyed by religious community based local leaders and funds are needed to assist in the rebuilding of the church.
2. Mt Sinai Christian School, Erukkandurai, Kanyakumari - founded by David and Annie Lucas. David and Annie established this school in 2002 with funds from the termination pay of UAE and their daughter’s wedding dowry/gold, savings and some funds from Abu Dhabi ECC. The school started with 24 children and 3 teachers and now there are 120+ children and 11 teachers from Kindergarten to Grade 5. Our financial support will be used to build 2 new classrooms.
