Sharing the Love and Gospel of Christ in India
Many Ministries with One Purpose
Sanctuary Ministries is a Christian ministry working in southeastern India. What began in 2005 as a children’s home with only five children has grown into several connected ministries that care for children and widows, strengthen local churches, support preachers and evangelists, provide Bibles, drill water wells, and meet practical needs as the Lord gives opportunity. Through it all, our aim is to share the love of Christ and His message of salvation.

Learn About Our Work
Many people first discover Sanctuary Ministries through one of our individual ministries. Here you can learn more about the full scope of our work in India — caring for children and widows, strengthening local churches, and sharing the gospel of Christ while helping those in need.
International Sanctuary Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Many of our longtime supporters know us by our former name, Sanctuary Home for Children. Today, most people just refer to us as Sanctuary Ministries. While our name has evolved, our mission remains the same: we aim to show God's love in southeastern India.
Through our leadership team in India, we work among children and families who are often overlooked and forgotten. At our core, we help children and widows, share the love of Christ, and spread the gospel to those who are lost. This mission is expressed in many different ways, but the overriding objective is always the same: to bring glory to God, as He shows us how and as He gives us opportunity.
How You Can Help
Our work is centered in southeastern India, primarily in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where we strive to follow God's direction to care for others and bring souls to Christ through showing His love and His truth.
We would be extremely honored and blessed if you would partner with us in this work. You can join us as we help orphans, widows, and people with leprosy; support local evangelists and ministers; and assist congregations in need. You can join us as we teach and feed children in the slum and as we provide fresh water to poor villages. In doing so, you can extend the blessings that God has given to you, passing them on to many who are less fortunate, but equally our Christian family.
