From Farmland to Fruit: Help Sustain Another Hub of CMM in India Today

Family in Christ, I’m writing to you with urgency and faith—because Pastor Melchishua Paul in India is carrying a powerful Kingdom work, and right now he needs faithful monthly partners to keep it running.

Keep This Mission Alive in India: $900/Month Needed

This is not “just a ministry update.”
This is a real, active mission field with real children, real pastors, real families—depending on God’s provision through His people.

A God-Given Ministry Campus: From Farmland to a Living Ministry Hub 🌱➡️🏛️

In 2010, the Lord blessed Pastor Melchishua Paul with one-and-a-half acres of land for a ministry campus. At the time, it was agricultural land with no buildings—just a promise.

But since 2017, as CMM donors began supporting him, that land has been transformed into a functioning ministry center that now includes:

  • Two buildings on the campus
  • Cement-post fencing surrounding the property
  • A borewell for clean drinking water

Before the borewell, the children and Bible school students had to walk 1 kilometer just to get drinking water. Because of your giving through CMM, water is now available on the campus. Thank you to every donor who made that possible.

I Was There — I Have Seen This Work Firsthand ✈️

I personally visited Pastor Melchishua Paul, inaugurated the campus, and had the privilege of naming it Christ’s Mandate for Love, as a Christ-centered ministry campus. I also inaugurated the second building in 2017, and eight CMM team members were with me for that historic moment.

We met his family, preached in the main church, and spent time with the leadership and students.
This is not a distant story—this is a proven work with real fruit.

What This Ministry Is Doing Right Now in India 🇮🇳🔥

1) Bible School — Raising Leaders (CMM College of Theology) 📖

Pastor Melchishua Paul leads a Bible training program that has produced:

  • 100 graduates in 5 years (about 20 per year)
  • CMM team has attended at least one graduation ceremony

This is leadership development where it matters most—equipping pastors, evangelists, and servants for the harvest.

2) Life Point School — Free Education for Children 🎒

Pastor Melchishua Paul runs an English medium school providing FREE education to children who otherwise would not have access.

Here’s the impact:

  • 60 children every year receive FREE education
  • 900 children have received basic English-medium education so far
  • Students receive textbooks and notebooks for free
  • Children receive two sets of uniforms (white & red)
  • Children are transported daily by a CMM bus from surrounding villages

This is practical compassion meeting spiritual mission—the Gospel with shoes on.

3) Annual Outreach to 1,000 Children 👕🧃

Each year, the ministry reaches 1,000 children with essentials, including:

  • New clothes
  • School bags
  • Tiffin boxes
  • Water bottles
  • Basic school supplies (scale, pencils, erasers, etc.)

This may be once a year—but for those children, that moment matters.

4) Women’s Self-Help Training — Tailoring Program 🧵

This ministry isn’t only preaching—it’s empowering families to rise.

  • Tailoring training runs in 6-month batches
  • 30 women per batch
  • 400+ women trained so far
  • Many women also received sewing machines
  • Some now work in a local shirt production factory
  • Others have moved to cities and opened their own tailoring shops

This is poverty-breaking, dignity-restoring transformation.

5) Supporting 11 Pastors ⛪

Pastor Melchishua Paul oversees 11 pastors who are serving and preaching faithfully—yet they need monthly help to feed their families and remain in the work.

The Need Right Now: $900 Per Month 💛

To keep the ministry functioning month-to-month—including the school, staff, pastors, campus operations, and outreach—Pastor Melchishua Paul needs $900 each month.

Right now they have:

  • 60 children receiving free education
  • 7 staff members
  • 11 pastors needing monthly support

This is a steady need, and monthly partners are the lifeline.

Here’s the Simple Ask: Will You Stand With Them? 🤝

I’m asking you to pray—and I’m asking you to give.

Options to Partner:

  • $30/month — helps cover supplies and support costs
  • $50/month — helps support a child’s education and materials
  • $100/month — helps support pastoral needs and campus operations
  • $300/month — helps cover staff, transport, and school needs
  • Any amount monthly — helps us reach the full $900

If 9 people give $100/month, this entire need is covered.
If 18 people give $50/month, the mission stays strong.
This is doable—but we must act.
