July Mission of the Month
Witnessing Ministries of Christ
India, a country of over one billion
people located on the southern part of the Asian Continent, at one time had a
caste system categorizing and stratifying its population. The old Hindu system ranged through five
categories starting with the Brahmans (priests and teachers) at the highest
levels to the Dalits (street sweepers and latrine cleaners) occupying the lowest
levels.
Although the caste system of classifying
people was banned in the mid 20th Century, unfortunately the shadows of long established walls are difficult to demolish and cultural prejudices
remain today.
In steps Witnessing Ministries of
Christ founded by Rev. Philip Prasad with the purpose of educating and training
the members of the Dalit community.
Although Rev Prasad passed away in 2016
his work continues through the Exodus Presbyterian Church of India.
A short video about the mission is available
at Witnessing Ministry of Christ.
The development of the Dalit community
focuses on six fundamentals:
- Spiritual Growth
- Mental Growth
- Physical Growth
- Economic Growth
- Social Growth
- Growing through Witness
