This is what it's all about. If we give to support good works without a mind for winning souls, we have helped someone for only a moment.  If our ultimate goal is to win souls for Christ, we have helped someone in this life and eternally. Our objective at Sanctuary Ministries is to show Christ's love, and in doing so, to reach beyond today's needs, to add to God's kingdom. This growth, of course, can only be accomplished by God, but He calls His people to spread the word.
 
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."  — Matthew 28:19

Our Father calls us to send people to preach the word to those who have not heard. 

"For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'  How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?  And how are they to hear without someone preaching?   And how are they to preach unless they are sent?” — Romans 10:13-15a

Through the work of our dear brother Isaac Palaparthi, we have contact with over 125 hard-working, devoted ministers in India who are preaching, who are reaching souls for Christ within a culture that doesn't know the one true God.  These men work in the fields, lay bricks, or do some other sort of menial work, earning $2 to $4 per day, to try to support their families while ministering to their congregations and endeavoring to reach others in their village.  They try to help the poor, the widows, and the children in their villages.  These preachers face many hardships, including hunger and intolerance from many around them.  Many are not able to meet the needs of their families, yet they continue in their dedication to serving the Lord.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” —Romans 10:15b
