You've provided these bikes for pastors and missionaries to reach rural areas to support believers and tell others about Jesus

Your support for our brothers and sisters across the world takes on many different forms – including the provision of bikes!

In India, a group of pastors and missionaries have been given bikes to enable them to visit rural areas to support believers and tell others about Jesus. Your provision of this aid is an enormous support to the beneficiaries, who struggle to reach many places because of travel risks and costs.

Bike provision is answer to prayer

“I've started a house church in a neighbouring village, and I'm also involved in missionary work that requires me to travel to places,” shares Abraham. “I was praying for a bike, and God has blessed me with this! This provision stands as a blessing to me and my ministry.”

"The love of Christ does not allow me to sit in silence" Darshan

“I praise God for this provision,” says Darshan. “I am so happy to receive this bike. It will ease my travel worries to nearby villages. I am assured that when you serve people, God opens ways to encourage and bless His servants. Thank you so much for the provision.”

Sharing the love of God despite persecution

Darshan was injured when he was physically attacked by extremists after sharing about Jesus in a neighbouring village. His experience is a reminder of the dangers facing our brothers and sisters in India. “The love of Christ does not allow me to sit in silence,” Darshan says. “I want to share the love of God to many.”

What plays a vital role in helping our persecuted family in India stand strong is your support and prayers, which is why your provision of these bikes is far more than just practical help – it’s a tangible reminder that, when serving Jesus brings suffering, they are not alone. Thank you!
