Build a church

Church buildings are important in India. Gateway Ministry has a network of over 100 churches in the rural areas around Rajahmundry, but only about 30 of them have buildings to meet in. All of the churches are in predominantly Hindu villages, and have many converts from Hinduism. Because these converts have been used to going to a temple it is helpful for them to have a church building as the focal point for their communal Christian worship.

During 2009 and 2010 we will be aiming to build several more churches at a cost of only £2,500 each. You can help us in one of the following ways:

Your church or youth group could sponsor a complete church and raise the money over a period of months. We will link you up with the pastor and you can keep in contact with the church.
Your church or youth group could raise £500 to part-sponsor the construction of a church. Again, we will let you know the specific church and pastor for you to keep in contact.
You can give us a one-off gift of any amount and we will put it towards the latest church construction.
You can give a small amount each month by standing order over a period of a year, which we will allocate to one specific church.
