Branches was formed with the purpose of supporting widows and orphans, following Jesus' command to care for the marginalized. Orphans and widows in India are often overlooked or even considered cursed. Through the counter-cultural message of Jesus we bring hope to those who society overlooks and provide clothing, housing, and education.
Pastor A reached out to us because he was looking for food to feed the people in his community during COVID. We learned about his ministry caring for the marginalized and bringing hope through the gospel of Jesus to the people of India.
Pastor A founded and runs the 2 orphanages, widow sewing program, and each year trains a new cohort of pastors to share the message and love of Jesus with the surrounding villages.
