As we wind down 2024, let's remember the children and families who do not have access to daytime school. NICM brings education and necessary food and supplies to these precious ones after work hours (Evening School) to give each of them an opportunity to learn and help break the cycle of poverty. Please consider a year end gift today by going to nicmission.org and clicking on "DONATE" or mailing a check to NICM PO Box 1823, Martinsville, IN 46151.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday and you can make a difference by going to https://nicmission.org/ and helping furnish the new Community Center which will soon be blessing neighbors and showing God's love. Every gift is tax deductible and helps out.

It's been an exciting year for us as we have almost completed the construction of a new Community Center in an area where there is much potential for outreach in the local community. It is our hope to begin initiatives such as a sewing center, l***r outreach, medical care, education for local children, and adult training programs very soon!

More updates to come in our upcoming newsletter. Check out our website at nicmission.org to read more...

NICM Sewing Center Update

NICM has 4 sewing centers actively training women to sew and embroider using recently donated machines. Ladies of all ages are benefiting from these skills and even a local government school has registered some of their students to attend sewing classes at one of our sewing centers. It is exciting to see women acquire marketable skills using their hands to create beautiful scarves, and gaining confidence and encouragement as they work together to learn. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this valuable outreach.

WE GOT A NEW SCHOOL BUS!

A note from Simmi at NICM:

On behalf of NICM and our mission school, I wanted to personally extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donations that allowed us to acquire a new school bus for NICM mission school campus. The excitement from the parents and children has been incredible!

This bus is more than just transportation; it’s a lifeline that will help us bring many children to and from our campus, opening up so many opportunities for them through our Christian education programs. It’s a big step forward in our mission to make a difference here in North India.

While your donations were intended for a 33-seater bus, we received some extra funds from the sale of the old bus scrap and additional support from the schools themselves. This allowed us to upgrade to a 47-seater bus! This means even more kids can join us, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Your support is crucial to our mission, and we are incredibly grateful for your partnership.

Our Children’s ministry with our evening schools is a blessing to the many young and poor children who otherwise would never have had the opportunity to learn to read and write. On a more important note, these children would never have gotten a chance to learn about our wonderful Savior, Jesus.

This year saw a successful celebration for Children's Day across all our Churches. Many of these children never get the chance to attend and be a valuable part of grand functions like those we hold for children at our Churches. It is usually a dream for villagers to see their children grow up in a nurturing environment brimming with various social programs solely dedicated to the children with the purpose of uplifting them and featuring their talents. Through our social programs and functions, we are not only able to give the children a chance to shine at these programs but are also able to tell them wonderful stories from the Bible. Their parents also get exposure to the Gospel in powerful and effective ways through these programs. Lastly, we want to share an update on our Founder's Day, which we celebrated at the end of November. It was a sorrowful moment where we shared the burden of all our grief resulting from the loss of Deepak many years ago. However, it was a bittersweet moment too, as we celebrated his life, which he dedicated to grooming NICM into a powerful tool of evangelism for North India. Deepak could not have sustained the work without all of you, and we continue to work with your prayers and support.

On an ending note, we pray that all of your upcoming Christmas programs will progress smoothly and that every one of you will be able to prepare well for your upcoming fellowship with friends, family, and believers.

On behalf of NICM, we thank all our readers for persistently praying as well as financially supporting NICM in its work of evangelism this Holiday season.

We want to remind everyone that these are trying times for Christian ministers, Churches, and Christians in general. Most of you might be familiar with pockets of persecution that erupted across the entire country this past year. Sadly, by no means have these difficulties subsided. We have an equally—if not more—challenging year up ahead for Christianity. Across our country, one state—and soon likely to be followed by others—has hardened its already stringent anti-conversion laws. Recently, the state of Uttarakhand implemented even stricter laws to indirectly curb the growth of Christianity by prohibiting various forms of evangelism, such as preaching—in Church or otherwise. Disturbingly, with the help of parliament legislation, the state enacted policies dedicated to ensuring that non-believers would neither have the freedom of opportunity to hear the Gospel nor be allowed to freely adopt Christianity without applying for permission for conversion from their local magistrate by submitting their intention of adopting Jesus in writing. These extreme measures are intended to make it difficult for non-Christians to adopt Christianity. Under the guise of maintaining secularism by promoting false misconceptions about Christians, anti-Christian extremists want to rid this country of the Christian message at the expense of both compromising the freedom of believers to practice their faith and non-believers to freely attend Church in order to seek Jesus as the ultimate Truth. To make matters worse, the burden of proof is shifted to Christians to prove that those adopting Christianity under their influence are not the result of conversions arising out of any undue influence, bribe, or manipulation. This land—like all of Earth—needs the saving and everlasting loving kindness of Jesus. Hence, we will continue to evangelize. Despite attempts by those intent on stopping the free dissemination of the Gospel, non-believers are daily arriving to hear news of Jesus and His saving grace.

Homeless and hungry children and elderly folks need the proper food to keep themselves warm through cold nights so that they can sleep well through nights and sustain themselves through the day. Many pregnant women and laboring women sometimes go without work, which results in no pay for the day. No pay usually means that they must go hungry from time to time—sadly, more than often. IDES (International Disaster Emergency Services) provides NICM with “Hot Funds” which helps us feed the hungry. Their generous funding feeds many people, but we can
always use more food and can use your help. A meal costs around 60 cents to a dollar. A food bag costs around $80, which is sufficient for a family of four for one month.

Please consider donating to help those in need!

A Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to You!

The NICM family wants to wish a blessed Thanksgiving to all our friends in
America as well as the rest of our brothers and sisters from around the world. As farmers appreciate their Almighty Creator for the bountiful harvest each year, we, too, thank God for making this past year of NICM so fruitful with prayers, resources, and funds from our readers. Our supporters collaborated with us, supported us, and partnered with us through our hardworking team—both here and abroad—to establish the Gospel here in North India through various ministry projects and activities.

We pray and hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. May your festivities be filled with lots of fellowship, delicious meals, and warm gatherings with your family and friends.
