The spirit of Christmas is to follow Jesus’ example to serve, to rescue, and to bring hope in a sacrificial way. International Ministries is blessed to partner with the Garo Baptist Convention to upgrade the facility of the Tura Christian Hospital to serve its community in northeast India; with the American Baptist Mission Hong Kong Swatow Baptist Church Community Service Association (ABMSBC) to provide pastoral care and food assistance to the under-privileged and seniors; and with the  Elijah Counselling and Training Centre in Nepal to train counselors to serve mental health clients and children who suffer loss and grief; with the Real Hope Church in Mongolia to run its after-school program and income-generating project for its economically deprived neighborhood; with the Karbi Anglong Baptist Convention in India to construct a Students’ Hostel to provide protection and pastoral care for 20 girl students and 20 boy students; and to provide an Operation Theater and a C-arm X-ray Machine to the Namuna Community Hospital to serve its community in Nepal under the management of Christian NGO the Human Development and Community.
