2026 India VBS Update

THE FAVOR OF THE FATHER IS UPON OUR OUTREACH — FORBID NOT THE CHILDREN

We are sharing the wonderful GOOD NEWS of “Forbid not the children to come to Me.” Since February 2026, our teams have been organizing and preparing for this massive outreach. If we had gone by the news reports, we would never have imagined reaching 50,000 children in 1,200 villages — but our God is GOD! He leads, we follow.

Numerous reports came in about riots and persecution of Christian activities, especially anything of this magnitude. Yet the Lord made a way where there seemed to be no way.

We will be sharing more in our upcoming General News, as several details cannot be given online. But today our objective is simple: to give praise to the Father and thanks to the Body of Christ. Thank you, dear GRM co‑laborers, for helping us reach the children of India at such a time as this with such a massive undertaking.

61,500 CHILDREN RESPOND TO THE GOSPEL

As of today, 7/6/2026, we have gone into 1,280 rural villages with full VBS trainings.

So far:

61,500 children have responded to the Gospel
149,000 adults have been reached through Gospel literature we printed and distributed with the help of GRM co‑laborers

WHAT’S NEXT?

We have not left the field. Even last week, many teams were still going strong. Our regular follow‑up continues through our Reading Teams — one children’s Bible is given to each village, and a reader is appointed.

We stand in amazement at God’s grace through all of this:

Weeks of extensive training in over 350 churches
Youth teams raised up
3,000 volunteers serving faithfully
Many now trained in frontier evangelism who will impact India for years to come

The testimonies that will come back in the weeks ahead will glorify Jesus and strengthen the Church.
