India

India almost defies description. A nation of more than one billion people, 140 ethnic groups and 22 major languages, the diversity is overwhelming. As one of the world’s oldest civilizations, India has a plethora of ancient architecture, skilled artisans and beautiful clothing.

Yet the spiritual and social needs in this great nation are staggering. Whether you consider the one million people sleeping on sidewalks in Kolkata every night, or the abandoned childless young wife in a rural village, India presents a huge challenge to the Christian values of redemption and the dignity of human life.

Even as India grows into an economic powerhouse, there are huge swaths of the nation that are untouched by this new prosperity, and who desperately need to hear and experience a message of hope. Alongside teams are working with local Christian agencies who are taking that message to rural villages and urban slums.

We invite you to consider joining an Alongside team and help lend a hand and make real change happen.
