Nathan and Claire In India

Nathan and Claire are doctors who have a desire to use their skills to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the disadvantaged people in rural North India. Their involvement has grown over the years as they have scaled up their work over the past 8 years. Initially they established a Christian community health charity called Sampan that combines medical and spiritual activities to help improve the health of the local people. As part of this they help to train Christian Community Health Workers to serve the mountain villages, as well as providing them with spiritual encouragement. They also recently inaugurated a disability program called “Samvedna” (Empathy in Hindi) which helps to improve the welfare of disabled people in the local villages. Nathan has some research support through Melbourne University to bring together, or cluster, various Christian Community Health programs to work more effectively.

Andy and Rachel In North India

Andy and Rachel are both teachers who have been called to serve in India. There are two main elements to their work:

Element 1: Teaching at an International mission school, in India. This helps by giving us work visas, accommodation and a small income. This is also a fantastic ministry opportunity as we get to be salt and light to kids from many different countries and religious backgrounds. Andy has obtained a two year teaching contract and Rach will be involved in various school based outreach programs and will also get involved in the local community.

Element 2: We will also be running teacher training seminars for teachers from small, remote Christian schools in the area. These English medium schools do an incredible job educating their students, but they are in need of training and support. They are located in a 99% Hindu area and provide an English based curriculum which is very desirable for many Hindu families, so they have growing attendance rates. As part of their curriculum they teach the bible and this provides an awesome opportunity to sow the seeds of the gospel into the lives of the students.

If you would like to involved in the work that God is doing in India by supporting Andy and Rach and their boys, please contact Aaron (their contact in Australia): aaronluttrell@bigpond.com
