The needs include: supporting children and youth education, supporting livelihoods and relief works. By joining us, we hope to partner with you as you embark on your journey to achieving your philanthropic goals of making an impact in lives.
Why you need to Invest in this Community ?
But let’s be real for a moment. This facility will host our local church family, discipleship training program, House of Prayer, and will be an outreach hub Community Centre for the local community.We are believing God for revival in this Community. We believe and worship Jesus. The sick will be healed here. The lost will be saved. The presence and glory of God will rest among this community. God is on the move in among the slums of Chennai and we are very privileged to be a part of it.
A church that prays and raising believers and Followers of Jesus Christ
This is what our day at work looks like: Pastor George Muller and church start the day praying everyday for 2 hours from 5.30am, fervently worshipping and glorifying God.Through this Journey Prayer Leaders and Believers are very strong followers of Jesus Christ. Inspite of all the challenges they keep pressing on the calling and believing Gods promises and continuing His work for God's Glory.
We are the Church
We certainly believe that we people are the church, as a Body of Christ, Most of us houses are 20-30 sqm rented houses, Some of us are not so much educated so we work as daily labourers earning between 60$ and 90$ a month, Through our generous giving of our pastor and believers we were able to Buy a land for the church and able to construct the foundation but unfortunately we could not able to lay the roof. For the last 12 years, it challenges our believers and leaders in the community to have regular fellowship and other social activities. we have laid a good foundation for the Community Centre but no roof. Roofs which can provide shade from the sun and shelter from the torrential downpours in rainy season. mainly, we want our children to be educated and live and earn Good and continue to serve the Lord. We need a shelter to educate and support the poor and needy and helping a child who skipped meals because of poverty and a child who is unable to read and write because he or she has no access to literacy material and so on. In fact to be specific, our fellowship at Kolathur, Chennai, Before this we as church and Child Development Center worshiped in a grass thatched hut for 8 years and our missionaries could not accommodate the growing numbers in the fellowship. Enhancing their cognitive development will not only help them to see the light of the Gospel but also will prepare them to be effective in evangelising to their families.We long for the Presence of Jesus Christ to dwell and work among us. Reaching the Unreached through agape love of Jesus Christ through this land for generations will to come to know God.
Church in the Chennai slum serves as Community Resource Centre
Slums in Chennai is that even though you expect it to be a dark and scary place, there is always so much love and hope. This is only because of the influence of the Spirit and the followers of Jesus Christ who live and work there. These people are a part of a church that meets in a house, just like the church in Acts. It is a small church of about 80-100 people, We meet in small groups in homes to accomodate our church believers for worship and other social service activities. and also like the early church "the Lord adds to their number daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).Right now our challenge is as we are having our church services in open terrace and sometime we gather in homes that are often not big enough to accommodate the crowds that come to hear the Word of God. Many folks end up sitting outside in the hot sun or even in the monsoon rains. Our Pastor Rev.S.George Muller and his family started construction on a building. The project had to be abandoned because the funds ran out. Once this building is finished, it would give them enough space to meet in, which would more than triple their space. To give you some perspective: where they meet now is about the size of a small bedroom, the new building will be bigger to accomodate our people and the children for church gathering as it also serves as Community Centre. I am so excited what is going to happen through this building and through this sweet group of people.

Our Vision
Our vision at GGMCT is to see a network of strong, hope-filled communities, where adequate mental, physical, and spiritual needs are met. To further this vision, In 2010. GGMCT started to build church/community centers in Kolathur. The church/community center is a home for the community and church related activities and will be used for community events such as weddings, counseling, education and basic life skills and funerals and the proposed community center have a multipurpose hall, which also serves as a tuition center and a Balwadi (a children’s day care center), a Balwadi kitchen, an study room Library for the children, an Literacy Centre for the Adult, a women’s training room housing a few computers, a storage room and toilets and shower areas.
Community Resource Centre
Moreover the community center will also be an educational facility for teaching the following topics to people in the community: hygiene, primary health care, child protection, domestic violence, counseling, leadership, culture and etc.this community center building will be able to hold up to 250 people. Without the support of the community, children with special needs are at risk of being left behind. We have an opportunity to help make services for children with special needs more accessible than ever.
In obedience and calling to build and empower to serve people. Our Director Rev.S.George Muller started a Child Development Centre, and to purchase a land to build Community Resource Centre cum Church. In June of 2000, Our director sold out their own property land in Madurapakkam village and bought a land for Community Centre to start with in hut(Thatched roof) to setup the mission in chennai, He was hardly prepared for the sight of the sick people who came to him for help. There were people who were cast out of their home, having no place to stay, let alone earn a living; drug addicts, alcoholics and orphans kept in bondage by their masters, Ages sick people o the street especially women not cared for by their families and most of all, poor people o the streets. Rev.S.George Muller himself being from educated background, seeing the plight of these people looking up to him for help was moved with pity, to do something for them. With grit and determination he set about this task.
