Building for the Kingdom



It’s such an exciting time in missions! Many souls are being saved throughout India by national evangelists and missionaries. Bible studies are formed to disciple the new believers, and small house churches begin to gather. The next step is building a house of worship for the growing assembly, a church for the people to come and worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ!


Since 2007, over 190 pastors have graduated from Shalom Bible College and are serving throughout   

Andhra Pradesh. Over 80 churches have been built, but so many more are desperately needed. In Pithapuram, the church has been evicted from its rented hall by a hostile landlord—it is crowded into the upper floor of the pastor’s home.

In Gungawada, the church meets in a tiny thatched hut where thunderstorms pour in through the walls.  This scenario is repeated in villages and cities across the land. You can help us help them!

The cost of building a church varies according to the area, and whether it is a rural or urban location. But on average, it costs $15,000 (US) to build a solid, substantial church in Asia.

What an amazing investment in the Kingdom of God! Churches can be constructed overseas for a fraction of the cost of one in the US. These churches are a lighthouse in the community, a testimony to idol worshipers around them, and a place where curious seekers will come.  More souls will be saved, discipled, and learn to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

You can help us to build as many churches as possible throughout India. With your help, AIM can
provide our partner missionaries and pastors with a building that legitimizes Christianity in the neighborhood and the culture.
