Four Pillars of SEIMS
SEIMS accomplishes its vision by keeping the focus on Four Pillars we believe define the work that
. God is leading us to accomplish in Southeastern India.
Uplift Impoverished Preachers and Congregations
After visiting over forty-five congregations of the Lord’s Church in Southeastern India on our visit, it is clear and obvious that many preachers endure much pain, poverty and persecution. These men are hardworking preachers whose only desire is to grow the Kingdom. It is our goal to encourage and support these faithful and loving servants of God. We currently support 53 congregations with $20 each month.
Long Term Goal: The Preacher Security Fund will act as a life insurance or critical medical needs fund for preachers and families enduring times of loss or major medical needs. Our goal is to bless these families with a gift of $120 during these unfortunate seasons of life.
Repair of Buildings
and Structures
and Structures
Church growth in India is impressive, but many still need a safe place to worship. Many congregations are meeting in tents and structures that are not weatherproof or structurally sound. Our goal is to repair these structures until a more permanent solution can be found.
Long Term Goal: Replace the tents and unsafe structures with new buildings. Baptistries are also a desperate need for many congregations. This will provide a congregation with a safe, clean option for baptisms. Cost to construct an adequate building is $2500. Cost to construct a baptistry $150 - $200.

Nurturing Orphans
We are committed to helping the 31 orphans that are being housed by members of the Ibrahimpatnam Church of Christ. It is our goal to ensure that the children’s daily needs are met. Monthly support needed for all orphan’s needs is currently $620 or $20 per orphan. This will allow each child to be adequately fed each day, proper clothing, and health care needs.
Long Term Goal: We would love to purchase nearby land that is currently for sale and build a facility to better care for the many orphans in this area. Total cost for land and structure is $70,000. We currently need $5400 to secure this lot of land for this future home.

Krishna River Preacher
Training School
Training School
K.R.P.T.S has been responsible for sound biblical training of hundreds of preachers throughout the years. We are currently supporting the Krishna River Preacher Training School, its students, and its staff with: daily food, lodging, assistance in training, and more. We are just able to do the bare minimum at this time for the current students and staff.
Long Term Goal: With a long waiting list of men who would like to enroll each year, it is our goal to add additional staff so that more students can be enrolled at KRPTS. In order to accomplish this we need to meet our goal of $1500 of support each month.
