Mission Equip -India

As many of you may know, we have been working with a group of pastors and believers in a small area in India for the past 2 years.

The name of our ministry is MISSION EQUIP (Mission Equip is a registered 501(c)(3)).  Our vision is to help Teach and Train pastors in India so that they will be more equipped to preach the word, reach the lost and plant and grow healthy churches.  Our long term goals include starting a Bible College. Until that happens we will be returning to India 2-4 times each year and holding pastors training conferences.  We have put together a pool of pastors from the US who have great teaching abilities that are willing to go with us and teach at these conferences.  

The Lord has allowed Larkin and me to keep doing our “day jobs” so that we do not currently need support to do this ministry.  But we are asking for support for the work itself.  Our pastors conferences cost Mission Equip because we pay for the pastors’ travel, housing and food during the conferences, as well as a love offering for each pastor.  Many of these pastors live in remote villages and do not have any money.

Mission Equip is currently supporting an orphanage that is run by one of our main pastors.  We help provide food, clothing and other monthly essentials.  The orphanage sits adjacent to some property that we are praying about purchasing in order to build a building that would house the Bible College.

We are asking you to partner with us in this work/ministry.  So please join us in praying for the work of Mission Equip.  We know it will only move forward with prayer.  

We are also asking you to consider supporting Mission Equip through giving financially.  Every dollar given will go directly toward the work that is happening in India.  If you have any questions about our work, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

To make His name known,

Richard and Larkin Jones

Thanks to our Ministry Partners, the following work has been done and items purchased:

• 2020 Winter Pastor's Conference (Feb) - Over 40 pastors came for the 2 day conference.  All expenses were paid and  love offering was given to each pastor.
• Internet and TV purchased for Orphanage.  The children and workers are still so excited that we were able to get internet to the orphanage.  A large TV was purchased that will be used for the children's education and for Pastor Training (we use the main room at the orphanage for Pastors' meetings.
• 20 chairs bought for a local village church that has many elderly.  Before the chairs, they would have to sit on the floor.  This small congregation is in the middle of a Hindu village and shares the Gospel regularly.
• A local village church received a fresh-water-well that all villagers can use.  The church uses it as a tool to reach others with the Gospel.
• Food for local families, during the Covid-19 lockdown.  Our local pastors were able to purchase and distribute food to over 30 families in great need during this crisis.
