2025 Annual Mission Report

 For over 50 years, GGM missionaries have been a witness of Christ’s love among diverse communities. Even in the midst of opposition and limited resources, we serve among rural and economically disadvantaged communities, offering hope through the message of the gospel and through practical care—educational support, evening tutoring classes for children and youth, groceries for struggling families, adult literacy programs, vocational training, counseling those battling addiction and substance abuse, and guiding those engaging in criminal behavior, or unjust practices such as caste based violence. 

This year, GGM’s IMC hosted:

- An annual Sunday School examination to promote biblical literacy among our Sunday School children 

- The Children’s Rally with over 1,500 in attendance

- A Vacation Bible School (“VBS”) Teachers Training to equip church leaders & laypersons to minister to children at over 50 churches; followed by VBS for over 2,000 children

Current enrollment is 96 residential & commuter students as well as 15 remote learners. 

Key events at GGM’s ITS this year include:

- Sending of 35 graduates to ministries across India 

- Inauguration of remote learning programs such as the Bachelor of Christian Studies (BCS) and Diploma in Christian Studies (DCS) 

Faculty and students partner with missionaries to serve at GGM’s IMC churches and church planting centers through weekend ministry and annual gospel camps. 

We are also excited about construction of the new Women’s dormitory which will house our female students (who make up 25% of our student body)!  

After years of waiting for building approvals, construction began in May 2025. The new building will be inaugurated in early 2026. A very special thank you to all those who donated to this project! 

The GGM Children’s Home continues our care of children who have lost one or both parents, children who have experienced abuse or neglect, and other economically disadvantaged, vulnerable and at-risk children. Each child is mentored, educated, and nurtured in faith and love. 

Recently, a grandmother brought her two grandsons, ages five and six, who had been abandoned by their parents. When I saw them and heard their story, I couldn’t hold back my tears. We welcomed them into the Children’s Home and they are now thriving. Four kids who grew up at the Children’s Home are now off to college this year!  We are so very excited about their future!
