Over 50,000 men and women across India have answered the divine call and taken up the challenge of spreading the Gospel of God's message to the unsaved.

• Most missionaries in India work crossculturally and away from their homes
• Since they work in remote areas, their children have to stay in boarding schools for their education. Missionary families get together only a few days in a year
• Poor living conditions lead to frequent, chronic sickness
• Persecution in many forms is on the increase
• Loneliness results in depression
• They are outdated in many areas of life since they live in remote areas and find it difficult to adjust when they return to the modern world
• They live in an environment without anyone to encourage or show concern. But they are expected to love and show affection always
• Over work makes them burn out
• Many among the thousands of missionaries returning from field services will not have a place to live
