Thank you for your interest in the Metropolitan Mission and in particular the Children's Home. The Metropolitan Mission is a small indigenous mission in South India: Indian Christians reaching out to their own people for the Lord Jesus Christ.
The principal work of the Metropolital Mission is evangelims and church planting, and it already has 70 congregations in needy slum areas of the city of Vijayawada, and in many of the surrounding villages. Some of these village communities consist of several thousand people. One particularly encouraging aspect of the work is the outrach to Lambadi tribespeople.
The Mission, inevitably, sees at first hand the povery of the people. It does what it can to help by running literacy classes and a small medical centre. It also has a burden to help the many destitute children in the area. With this in mind the Children's Home was founded in 1994.
