Evangelism & Outreach
Evangelism and outreach is the main foundation of Agape Reaching Ministries. We reach people door-to-door, personally, and in mass as a group/team with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We distribute Gospel tracts, hold seekers conferences, and provide Basic Biblical Teaching on water baptism for new believers, adding them to nearby churches for the extension of the kingdom of God in Odisha.
- Door-to-door personal evangelism
- Mass outreach and Gospel crusades
- Gospel tract distribution
- Seekers conferences and follow-up
Church Planting
As the Spirit of the Lord is at work, the work of the Lord grows day by day through Agape Reaching Ministries. Right now 18 main churches and 142 house churches have been planted across Sambalpur and different districts of Odisha.
Panchgachhia Child Development Center

- Daily tuition and academic support
- Nutritious meals provided
- Hygiene supplies — soap, toothpaste, hair oil
- Clothing, shoes and daily essentials
- Spiritual and character development
Sunday School & Children's Program
By the grace of God, we have an excellent Sunday school and children's ministry — the backbone of Agape Reaching Ministries. Since 1995 we have worked among 1,368 children attending Sunday schools 3 times a week across 39 centers.
Most children are from heathen and tribal backgrounds, yet many are very much interested to know about Lord Jesus Christ and have already accepted Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
Agape Compassion Children's Home
As ARM started with children's ministries, the Lord gave us passion, vision, and mission for the Kandhmal persecution-affected children — to keep them with us and make them grow in the knowledge of the Lord and in body, spirit, and wisdom.
40+ orphaned children are currently being cared for with a purpose rooted in God. Kindly pray for their provision and uphold them with your generous support.
- Kandhmal persecution-affected orphan care
- Spiritual, educational and physical development
- Preparing children for ministry of God
Leprosy Care Project
The Lord Jesus Christ is in this work. The Lord has given us vision and burden to serve leprosy-affected people — though it is quite difficult, the Lord has given ARM this ministry.
There are 320+ leprosy-affected men and women in our local city. For them we have purchased 1.5 acres of land and built 14 residential quarters. We hold weekly church services and prayer cells there, and many have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
Literacy Program
The Literacy Program helps people who are interested to learn — especially church believers and community members who do not know how to write and read. We provide adult literacy so they may learn to read the Bible, write letters, and teach their children.
We have given literacy to more than 850 women in Sambalpur district, and have also conducted literacy centers inside the Circle Jail of Sambalpur for inmates, partnering with organizations like Literacy India Trust and Mission India.
Prison Fellowship
ARM works inside the Circle Jail of Sambalpur — praying, singing, and teaching the Good News of Lord Jesus Christ to all inmates. They are very eager to hear the Word of God, and many have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
There are around 564 inmates in our local jail. The Superintendent, Jailor and other Officers are very cooperative, allowing ARM to go inside and minister. We also hold social and cultural programs for them.
Prayer Cells
The Prayer Cell is one of the most important parts of Agape Reaching Ministries, dedicated only for prayer with a full burden for ministries, churches, pastors, missionaries and believers around the world.
ARM has round-the-clock prayer services by the ARM prayer team for all believers globally, for the extension of the task of the Lord.
- 24/7 intercessory prayer services
- Prayer for global ministries and churches
- Dedicated prayer for pastors and missionaries
- Prayer for all believers around the world
