As per the research paper “Poverty by Social, Religious & Economic Groups in India and Its Largest States 1993-94 to 2011-12” submitted in Columbia University 25.4% people in the state of our Andhra Pradesh are under the ‘poverty line’, of them 22.2% are Christians living in rural areas. Their children don’t have proper food and schooling. The youth are lost in social evils. The aged are neglected.
TIBM has a vision for these Children, youth, the destitute adults and society at a large. We pray for the following project called “Cheyootha(Helping Hand)”. Under this project we pray to establish a center in Head Quarters with three wings for Children, youth, the aged and health. If God strengthen us more, we wish to expand these services to many.
Vision for Children, Youth and Aged
Residential school for Children:-
The children in our churches are left for their own look after, as parents go to fetch their livelihood. We wish to bring such children from age six and give them nourished food and education on Christian principles in healthy environment. As they grow with skill and qualifications, we wish to send them either as missionaries or as supporters for the ministry. Presently offering scholarships to the poor students of TIBM churches
HR Management Center:-
The youth linger here and there without proper vision. We wish to bring them here and use some of them in suitable places, and to others showing a way, by equipping with proper skills.
Home for the destitute:-
The aged are neglected in their houses. We wish them to spend their rest of life in peace with God.
Vision for the Society
HEALTH:-
Health is another problem in these areas. Diseases spread very rapidly. Thickly populated areas with unhealthy surroundings and illiteracy are main causes. We have the vision for the health care of these areas. Dr. K. Manohar Melchizedek, son of Bro. Raaz, TIBM president, getting ready with his higher and specialized education to serve the sick as part of the evangelism among IBM and other churches
WATER:-
Churches are all located in semi urban and remote rural areas. Water for drinking and daily use is a big problem. Clean drinking water for them is a dream. Sometimes people go far to fetch the water. If in the case of hot summer, one cannot imagine their suffering. Government is unable to meet the demand of growing population. The only remedy is to dig the bore wells. So there is drive necessity for digging the bore wells.
