A Cry for Help: A Ministry Vehicle to Rescue Lives in West Bengal, India
With a broken yet hopeful heart, I write to you today, humbly placing our urgent need before you in prayer. My name is Arpan Naskar, and I serve as a CMM Missionary in West Bengal, India. Over the past nine years, the Lord has faithfully allowed me to labor in church planting ministry. Through this calling, we have reached the unreached, rescued the vulnerable, and proclaimed the Gospel in places where hope often feels forgotten.
An Urgent Challenge We Face
However, despite the fruit God has allowed us to see, one painful challenge continues to hinder our ministry: the lack of a reliable vehicle.
Time and again, we receive urgent calls about children trapped in child labor and human trafficking. In these situations, every minute matters. Unfortunately, without our own vehicle, we must rely on rental cars. Too often, they are unavailable, delayed, or simply too expensive.
As a result, there have been heartbreaking moments when we were ready to respond—but no car arrived. In those moments, children were lost back into darkness, not because help was unwilling, but because transportation was unavailable. Consequently, as a servant of God, witnessing this reality is deeply heart-shattering.
“Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.”
— Proverbs 24:11
If, however, we had a dedicated ministry vehicle, we could respond immediately—without delay, fear, or hesitation.
A Prayerful Vision: A Vehicle for Life-Saving Ministry
Therefore, we are prayerfully trusting God for a ministry vehicle, with an estimated cost of $6,000, dedicated entirely to the work of the Lord.
With this single vehicle, we would be able to:
- Immediately respond to child rescue emergencies
- Distribute food to vulnerable children and families
- Safely transport orphaned and rescued children
- Reach disabled and handicapped individuals who cannot travel
- Enter unreached villages to share the Gospel
- Continue planting churches where Christ is not yet known
In other words, this vehicle would become a lifeline—connecting help, hope, and the love of Christ to those who desperately need it.
Reaching Those Who Cannot Come
At the same time, God has placed a deep burden on our hearts this year to reach those who cannot come to church. In particular, we are burdened for the handicapped, disabled, and forgotten—those sitting quietly in their homes, unseen by society, yet fully seen by God.
Because of this burden, we long to go to them. We want to pray with them, love them, and gently remind them that Jesus has not forgotten them.
“Then the King will say… ‘Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.’”
— Matthew 25:40
How You Can Partner With Us
For this reason, we humbly ask you to remember us in your prayers. Furthermore, if the Holy Spirit moves your heart to support us financially toward this vehicle, please know that your giving will directly save children, restore dignity, and carry the Gospel to places we cannot reach on foot.
Simply put, this is not just a request for a car—
rather, it is a cry for souls, safety, and salvation.
“How can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?”
— Romans 10:14–15
With Gratitude and Hope
Finally, thank you for taking the time to read this message. Thank you for praying. And thank you for standing with us. Because of partners like you, the work of the Lord continues even in the darkest places.
May the Lord bless you richly as you partner with His work among the least, the lost, and the broken.
With tears, faith, and hope in Christ,
Yours in His service,
Arpan Naskar
