Significant program services not listed on prior year return Part III line 2In the year 2020 the organization established a work with a pastor in Cheyyar, India which is a very poor rural area of India. The timliness of establishing this work was critical due to the lockdowns that resulted from the Covid 19 pandemic. Widows, orphans, lepers and families were helped through the establishment of church/community centers throughout this impoverished region facilitating distributions of food and material help. These centers also provide a means for evangelism and encouragement for the people in the region.
