SMILE INDIA

Smile began working in India in 2005, in response to requests for help from several ministries after the tsunami crisis.

Smile is registered in India as "Smile India". Our Director is Pastor Samuel of End Time Harvest Ministries in Bangalore, who was greatly involved in helping those suffering after the tsunami. Samuel ministers at Jalahalli East Baptist Church and has an extensive social action programme in slums of Bangalore. He works tirelessly for the Lord with limited funds and materials.

PROJECTS

  • DAILY PRESCHOOL runs from 9.30am to 1 pm for 60 3-5 year old children living in the slums. They receive good basic education from qualified teachers followed by a healthy nutritious lunch each day.

  • AFTER SCHOOL CARE GROUP where older children learn English, have assistance with their homework and have the opportunity to develop their IT skills.

  • CHILD SPONSORSHIP We are currently in need of sponsors for our work in India. If you, your church or organisation wish to sponsor one of these children and give them a brighter future, please see our Sponsor A Child page.

  • WIDOW SPONSORSHIP There are many widows who live in the slums and attend Pastor Samuel's church who are struggling to survive. For as little as £15 a month Smile India can purchase a food parcel which will sustain a widow for a month. The widow will attend the Smile India centre each month where she will receive a meal, pastoral support and her food parcel. For further details, please see our Sponsor A Widow page. We have provided chickens for widows through our Gifts With Love scheme.

  • TAILORING COURSE for local women on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and an IT course on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. This will enable them to earn an income and to sustain their families long term.

  • MEDICAL CLINICS are held regularly throughout the year where those that are ill can come to be seen by a qualified doctor and nurse and be given medicines which are paid for by Smile. We are also holding special eye/ear clinics for testing and treatment.

  • CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP TRAINING COURSE every Monday evening for approximately 20 evangelists, pastors and church leaders, providing training, support and fellowship. If you would like to help these pastors, please see our Sponsor A Pastor page.

JALAHALLI BAPTIST CHURCH

Our Smile Centre in India is based at Jalahalli Baptist Church in Bangalore, which is run by Pastor Samuel. Smile has helped to build a church office, guest suite and kitchen, redecorated the Sunday School room and improved facilities in the sanctuary by providing fans, keyboards, audio/visual equipment and computer. Smile offers you the opportunity to support pastors in India through the Sponsor A Pastor scheme.

We are grateful to all to those who have made this possible through support and donations for our work in India. Pastor Samuel will be in the UK 10-20 June when he will be preaching around the country and attending the graduation of his brother Ruban who has been studying at Bible college in the UK. He will also be at the Smile Celebration on 26 June, when we will be celebrating 10 years of helping the needy around the world.
