The Main Street Church of Christ had a booth again this year for our town's annual Iron Mountain Festival, which is held every October. We had a Coloring Contest booth for kids ages
pre-school
thru the 6
th grade. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help with the booth. We had more than 125 entries from local kids-- we passed out literature about the churches of Christ, and we had an opportunity to meet and greet our neighbors and invite them to church.

The Gospel Advancement Alliance of India distributes the Holy Bibles to the poorest people, who are unable to afford a single copy of the Bible, for their personal or family use.
The daily income of a poorest person in the rural & tribal India is a maximum of 40 to 50 rupees (about One US Dollar) which he earn for his labour work. He has to meet the needs of his entire family with the smallest income (daily wage), which is not sufficient to provide the needed food even to his little children also. In this position, it is very difficult task for a poorest rural & tribal person to purchase a copy of the Bible in his own dialect. To meet this need, the GAAI have started this Free Bible Distribution Programme, to provide the Holy Bibles to the poor believers in the remote areas
CHURCH PLANTING FOR POOR PEOPLE
I will build my Church", said our Lord. (MATT: 16:18)
The Church is the primary agency of the Kingdom of God on earth. Churches are God's strategy for evangelizing the unevangelized.
By the Church of Christ in India, strategies for planting churches among the unreached people groups in India, transforming the interior rurals & tribals by the power of the Gospel. "A Church among every people and the Gospel to every person" is our vision. "To plant Churches that plant Churches and to cultivate mission active churches"(Mark16:15) is our goal.
To reach our vision & goal, we are covering every unevangelised village, even in the dangerous jungles also. Many villages where we have been conducting our Church Services are very backward areas; and even some of those villages have no road facilities, and we have to walk about 15 to 25 kilometers through the terrible zigzag jungle routes. ships. Often, our missionaries use the COW-SHEDS as the church gathering places --worship centers-- as we have no permanent places to worship in. Hence, we are facing many troubles in our worships irrespective of the summer, winter and rainy seasons.
