I just returned from India with a team 12 of us from Gateway South Austin. We had a chance to visit with our friends with Impact India 360.
They are amazing as they demonstrate the love of Jesus to their neighbors with the hospital our church helped them build. There have been 25,000 babies delivered in this hospital over the past 10 years!
They also have an home for senior adults who would have nowhere else to live.
The founder Jaya Shankar loved to say that they were showing the love of Jesus to people in their city from the womb to the tomb.
They have a thriving church that meets on campus with hundreds of people coming every Sunday!
They have a ministry training school that has sent out graduates to plant 200 churches. Some of these pastors are going into towns where there is not one single church. In 2023, Gateway Church Austin giving helped fully fund 4 of these pastors in their efforts for the entire year!
They have a sewing school for women who desperately need a way to make an income.
They have a school with 180 children. 60 of them live in the neighborhood and come to school there. 120 of these kids live on campus. 30 of these children are orphans. 90 of them have a parent who may not be able to care for them.
They have a college fund started by Robert and Kimberly Watson-Hemphill from Gateway South Austin which has helped 100 kids go through college!
The campus is amazing! But it wasn’t always that way. Just 25 years ago there was just a husband and wife with a call from God to bring Jesus to their community.
