Pastor M on Diversity and Unity
Pastor M and Kevin met in Raleigh in 2015 and within a year Kevin was visiting him and his ministry in Mumbai. GHI has taken over 50 people to serve in Mumbai and his ministry and everyone falls in love with Pastor M.
Pastor M. grew up in a slum in Mumbai and was radically transformed by Jesus Christ. Today he operates an orphan home including those with HIV, a child development center in the red light district of Mumbai, and has started five churches in the slums, and he is developing an amazing project called the City of Hope on a 30 acres located in the middle of what is predicted to be one of India's smart cities.
Pastor M shares about the incredible journey of ministry so far and describes it as simple as "one life at a time."
They are able to care for 130+ children in their orphanages.
Most of the children in the development center in the red light district are the children of those involved in human trafficking and the sex trade in Mumbai. They have the opportunity to work with children, many of whom would have spent time in the house with their mothers who are practicing prostitution and provide safety and education for this generation of children.
