India

LPGM began its ministry in India in 1996 with the creation of Project Education India, a student sponsorship program that provides financial and spiritual support for students in six boarding homes in Tamil Nadu, India. The number of students sponsored has gone from 217 in 1996 to 1,440 students in 2016. In addition to Project Education India, LPGM has expanded its partnerships to include a Community College; English language instruction (English + Program); the Lebanon Home for Women; the Timothy Center for Women and Children Empowerment; the QuoVadis Interfaith Dialogue Center; and a new partnership with the Church of North India.

My LPGM trip to India was life changing. I would love for my friends to see how different and special it is there and to experience how kind and welcoming the people are. It was an amazing trip!
