Testimonials
We want to tell you why we support NIEA
In 1997 I arrived in India to start a 5 year full-time commitment for mission work with NIEA. Dr. Alex Philip and his wife Laly helped orient me to the Indian culture in Trivandrum, South India. In 1998 I was sent to Bihar, North India to help start a new mission station. It took 2 1/2 years to get our first convert to Christianity. It was hard plowing and there were many challenges on a daily basis to overcome. God gave us much favor with the tribal people. We were able to use medical camps as a tool to open up new villages that had never heard about Jesus Christ. It was so much fun giving hope to the hopeless and watching them grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Today NIEA has planted over 30 churches in Bihar, built at least 14 village schools, opened 11 tailoring schools, a medical clinic, Home for the Aged, Home for Handicapped children, 22 children's homes and are now caring for over 500 children on a 24/7 basis. There are now 3,000 children going to school full-time and who have an opportunity to fulfill their destiny because they are the first in their villages to receive a good education.
I have had the privilege and honor of working with NIEA for 13 years now and the transformation of Bihar, India, continues to go forward. NIEA is a ministry of integrity and a good place to invest prayer, finances and service. I recommend it!

I have been involved with New India Evangelistic Association for over 10 years. One of the ways God touched my heart with this ministry is the outreach to young girls. The devaluation of women physically and emotionally from a young age into adulthood in the villages of
Being a young, successful woman myself, it is difficult to believe in this day and age that the women of
This aspect of the ministry touched my heart. I wanted to help these hopeless women not to not only receive salvation from the Savior but also be able to affect their family and community for the Gospel. With NIEA, they are given this opportunity.

Our introduction to NIEA was in 2000 when my husband Steve and I were part of a disaster relief team to
Over the years, Steve and I returned to 
with NIEA in their ministries of Bible training, village schools, homes for orphans and administrative duties.
We are convinced of the absolute integrity of the leaders of NIEA and of the whole-hearted dedication of the hundreds of national missionaries who work with them. We see children graduate from NIEA village schools after 10 years. We see young ladies leave the girls home and go to college 10 years after they entered as destitute little children.
I recommend this ministry as an opportunity to anyone who desires to make a difference for eternity with their charitable giving.

THE 10 PRINICIPLES OF BIBLICAL GIVING
2 Corinthians 8-9 (NIV)
“It is amazing to me that so much doctrine and ethics can be involved in, what at
first sight, is just a simple, straight-forward transfer of cash from one person to
another or from one group to another.” --John Stott
The following is drawn from a John Stott Bible Study:
1. Giving is an Expression of the Grace of God
Let’s read 2 Corinthians Chapters 8-9 (NIV): and look at Paul: “And now,
brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the
Macedonian churches”. This is the first principle of Biblical giving: giving can be
an expression of the grace of God. The idea is that the other side of giving is
asking. Paul spends two full chapters of his letter to the Corinthians on
fundraising and on an offering being taken from the Macedonians, challenged to
the Corinthians to be collected with all of the top leaders of the church, Titus and
others, to then take it to the poor in Jerusalem.
“And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the
Macedonian churches. Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and
their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as
much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.”
2. Giving Can Be a Charisma - Gift
“Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in
this service to the saints.” Second, giving can be a charisma, it can be a gift.
“And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord
and then to us in keeping with God’s will.” So here we’re seeing from the giver’s
point of view that they need to give, they were seeking to give.
“So we urged Titus, since he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to
completion this act of grace on your part. But just as you excel in everything—in
faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for
us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” This verse is the key verse
regarding giving being a charisma, a gift.
3. Giving is Inspired by the Cross of Christ
“I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by
comparing it with the earnestness of others.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that thought he was rich, yet
for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become
rich.” Three, giving is inspired by the cross of the Christ.
4. Giving is Proportionate – Proportionate to Our Wealth
“And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter: Last year you
were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. Now finish the
work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion
of it, according to your means. For if the willingness is there, the gift is
acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.”
If you are really eager to give, it isn’t important how much you’re able to give,
God wants you to give what you have, not what you don’t have. So it is
proportional giving, proportionate to our wealth. The poor widow’s giving
was sacrificial giving and it touched Jesus deeply.
5. Giving Contributes to a Measure of Equality
“Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but
that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they
need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be
equality, as it is written, “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he
who gathered little did not have too little.”
6. Giving Must Be Carefully Supervised
“I am thankful to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for
you. For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much
enthusiasm and on his own initiative. And we are sending along with him the
brother who is praised by all the churches for his service to the gospel. What is
more, he was chosen by the churches to accompany us as we carry the offering,
which we administer in order to honor the Lord himself and to show our
eagerness to help. We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this
liberal gift. For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the
Lord, but also in the eyes of men.”
Here they took the top people, Titus and this other unnamed brother and put
together a team to show their faithfulness to the brothers and sisters of the
churches that they were gathering the money from. Careful, accurate, reporting
to donors is scriptural, as you do not want to have any suspicions that your
donation was handled incorrectly. We only have to look at what Paul did
with the offerings; he took his top people and put a lot of effort into the area of
accountability. Accountability, audits, financials, good record-keeping, is Biblical,
not extra-Biblical.
When grantors let the grantee know what they’re doing and ask the grantee to
report on how the money was spent, they are just being fair and accurate. This is very
important. When you think about what Paul did, this wasn’t just a couple of guys
getting on an airplane with a satchel full of money, think about how much of their
lives was put into carrying this offering from Greece to Jerusalem. They may
have spent an entire year just carrying the offering and these men were their top
preachers.
7. Giving Can Be Stimulated By Competition
“In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in
many ways that he is zealous, and now even more so because of his great
confidence in you. As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you;
as for our brothers, they are representatives of the churches and an honor to
Christ. Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our
pride in you, so that the churches can see it.”
“There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the saints. For I
know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the
Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give;
and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action.”
Think about this: Do Macedonians and Greeks get along today? They do not.
Did they get along then? They did not. Did the Greeks see themselves as better
than the Macedonians? You bet. Was Paul aware of that? He was. Was he
playing on that in this scripture? Yes, he was.
“But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter
should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be. For
if any Macedonians come with me and find your unprepared, we—not to say
anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. So I
thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the
arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a
generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.”
8. Giving Resembles a Harvest
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever
sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has
decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all
things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
The critical thing that I had to understand, as a Christian was that God would
provide all I needed and I am so thankful that I got that lesson right with that first
paycheck. He provides for me and that is not my self-sufficiency, it is an
uncommon generosity.
9. Giving has Symbolic Significance
“As it is written: He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness
endures forever.”
This offering carries on through the years. When we teach it, when we live it out,
we’re living out the symbolic significance of this first offering that Paul took up for
the church in Jerusalem.
10. Giving Promotes Thanksgiving to God
“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and
increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every
occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This
service that you perform is not only supporting the needs of God’s people, but is
also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.”
“Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise
God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ,
and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their
prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace
God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”
So these two magnificent chapters which some might look at and say, “Oh it’s
just business, he’s just doing business”. Paul wraps it up and says, “Here is the
Son, the greatest gift”. All of this is just a shadow of that gift.
That’s what we’re engaged in whether we’re involved in the process of giving or
the process of fundraising.
