Introduction to VMM

Introduction

The Village Missionary Movement was started in 1996 in a village named Kokkalanchery near Virudhunagar in Tamilnadu. Brother David Ganesan, the founder and director of this ministry, got the burden for this ministry in 1995 when he saw a vision in which Jesus Christ was weeping for the salvation of the people who lived in villages.

Now the ministry is functioning as a team ministry. It is registered under Government norms and its president is Brother J Santhosh. Please click on the picture of J Santhosh, David Ganesan, and Anand for a short introductory video about VMM recorded recently.

Our Overall Vision

To lead rural children to Jesus Christ
To help children achieve their potential by assistance with education
To reach out to parents and villages through the children
To form prayer cells to pray for the nation
To guide children to become full time or part time missionaries in the future

VMM believe that God wants them to achieve this through ...

Children Ministry

Through the full time missionaries VMM systematically reach villages on a weekly basis. There they teach children about the Bible and how to pray. Once a year they conduct a children's camp in each mission field. During holidays they conduct Vacational Bible Studies for five days.

Youth Ministry

VMM have completed over 8 years in the ministry. Many of the children they first met are teenagers. They conduct one day and three day youth camps, so that these young people grow in the knowledge of God and His Word, their prayer lives deepen, and they grow in a desire to share the Gospel with others.

1000 Village Ministry

VMM missionaries regularly visit nearly 700 villages. Their vision is to preach the Gospel at least once in 1000 new villages every year.

Film Show Ministry

VMM find that Jesus film is an effective way to preach the Gospel to people who have had little education. VMM screen this and other films in villages who have never heard about Jesus. Bible based films are also screened to children and young people to help them understand more about the Bible.

Hospital Ministry

Many of the people in hospitals are from surrounding villages. VMM Missionaries visit people in hospital and share the Gospel and pray for them. Through this opportunities open up for the Missionaries to visit the patient's villages and share other ministries.

Village Womens Camp

VMM conduct Village Women's Camps to proclaim the Gospel to the mothers of the children they meet. Through this the whole families get to experience the Gospel.

Education and Social Work

As far as possible VMM try to help students in the Villages who would not be able to continue their education without some financial help. They also provide medication to needy persons where possible.

Supporting Local Churches

VMM try to build good relationships with existing churches and help them in their growth. They also help reopen any closed Village Churches
