Mission:
Our Mission is to take the Gospel of Hope and the Love of God to the Un-reached people.
1)Discipleship Teams: these teams do evangelism through films, literature, open-air street preaching and personal evangelism. Our ministry teams every week travels about 400 kms this traveling includes a stretch of 100 kms on national highway paving us the way to work with the sex workers on the highway reaching the un-reached. We reach them through pamphlets, personal evangelism and creating them the maximum hope for their future.
Pain and suffering are inescapable realities of life so with this in view, G.S.M approaches the people who feel trapped, hopeless or afraid and fills them with glorious rainbow of hope and removes the dark cloud of impending death.
Identification as a Christian by this tribe while reaching them would cost our life. But God paved the way in working with them through the help of OM (Operation Mobilization) and YWAM (Youth with a Mission) teams. G.S.M. together with OM and YWAM was also able to arranged camps generating spiritual message among the people in the most interior KOYA, BANJARA and KONDS trible villages bordering the states Orissa, Chattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh.

Church Planting : Through the result our team work we form small fellowships gradually those fellowships have become our churches. There are great mass conversions since the leader of the tribe has accepted the message so the whole tribe has became Christians. KOYA, BANJARA and KONDS tribes are most Gospel receiving tribes. We have trained the local tribal believers to be the Pastors, Evangelist, Church Planters, Missionaries and pioneers to new generation missions. We have about 12 churches and 5 house gatherings among the tribal people average 75 members each church and 20 each fellowship, not only that we have 7 churches in different towns and villages. |

AIDS/HIV : Tanuku , the town lined with houses of prostitutes occupies the second largest place in prostitution. Hundreds of young girls and women hung out of the windows, prisoners of sex trade. Most of our out reach is proclaimed towards them. We often arrange our meetings with them sharing the word of God and were also successful in filling with faith. We do not say that we completely transformed them into pure Christians but we are able to install in them the love and the care the Lord God have for them as every life counts and matters to God. As the Lord guides us, we are reaching them to uphold their's and their children's lives. Good Samaritan ministry has also launched many small-scale awareness programs on AIDS – a major issue in India |

God has also helped us to word among the temple prostitutes in Baanchada tribe residing on the way from Neemach (Madya Pradesh State) to Rajasthan. This Baanchada tribe has a peculiar culture of submitting the elder daughter in a family to the temple in serving their God and these women earn their living through prostitution.
Free Medical Camps: GSM has great burden for the poor who are not even privileged to proper medication or no medication. In order to handle this problem GSM has started free medical camps, mobile clinics & labs and calamity handling campaigns. Through this GSM helps the people to diagnose the sickness and get proper medication, gives them proper guidance to handle the situation this awareness helps them to over come fear and hopelessness. Also provides proper nutritious food to the pregnant women and children. We take these services to slums, tribal mountains and remote villages. Our teams are more alert to handle the deadly diseases like cholera, malaria, dengue, die-aria, Chicken-Bunya and other pestilences. |

Child Evangelism :
Good Samaritan Ministries conduct Sunday schools, vacation Bible schools, school programs, film shows and literature distribution to reach the children with love of God. The uniqueness of our work is to concentrate on the street children, it is our top priority because these children are not even privileged come to church so we go to them. If we don't go to them they will become anti social elements. They do not have even a privilege of playing the good games so our team gives them the needed playing toys and other sports goods not only that we give them good bath, food, and show them some videos on general cartoons and Bible stories. Through this they will be led to Christ. |
