India Project

Bethany Church has partnered with RIMI to "adopt" the state of Bihar, India. We are specifically working to support the construction of a Bible School and Mercy Home (orphange) in the Muzaffurpur District by the summer of 2009.

What makes RIMI's ministry unique?

• Our goal is to reach Indians all over the world not just in India. Within 5 years we hope to enter Saudi Arabia where the Indian population is estimated at 50%. We are praying for someone to spearhead a US ministry to reach Indians here as well.
• For the church planters that we support, we only raise 50% of their financial need and require them to raise the other 50% themselves.
• Even after they have been weaned off of support they stay under our umbrella of authority for continued leadership development and accountability purposes.
• Our Mercy Homes extend help to any child that has a need - not just to orphans. Many of these children would be sold into slavery or prostitution if they did not have the option of coming to our Mercy Homes.
• When our children finish high school we do not put them out into the streets. We encourage them to go to college and we help pay for that education as well.
