The mission has a varied ministry amongst some of the most poor and deprived communities in the area.
Mobile schools have been set up to provide informal education for children living on the streets. For these children it is an opportunity to be in a safe environment, learn basic hygiene, have a nourishing meal and begin to learn to read and write.
A baby care centre for children under three is a very special project. The children are brought to the centre where they will spend the day. The children are away from the very heavy pollution and loud noise of central Kolkata. They are washed, dressed in clean clothes while their own are washed ready for home time. They have a good breakfast, lunch and a snack before going home. There are toys to stimulate the children and a nursery class for the oldest ones.
There are regular schools where children from poor families receive a good education. A hostel for girls and one for the boys provide a home and education for children who need this special care.
The mission also works to set up home churches and has growing church community. The evangelists meet together for training once a month.
Pray for all the GNCEM staff dedicated to caring for so many disadvantaged children and people and showing them the love of Jesus.
