Along the pilgrimage of your life, you dream of a better future and reach out for many accomplishments. You also look to the past, at the paths of your life. Sometimes accomplishments prove empty, and achievements lack meaning.
Along the pilgrimage of your life, and amidst your dreams and accomplishments, you look to the past, at the paths of your life. As accomplishments prove empty, and achievements lack meaning, you search for truth.
Then you cross paths with another pilgrim… The One who set Himself on a journey to a manger made by man. Yes, the Savior came, in search of you! This meeting reveals your worth, adorns achievements with meaning! And this meeting happens because of Gospel missions! Those who have been set free by the truth of Jesus Christ have a sincere desire to make it known to others. It is not religious work, not even close. Gospel missions such as the ones you read here bridge the gap between the thirsty soul and a loving Savior.
International stages address the problems of man. Sanma occupational missions address the problem not from a stage, but in its own precinct, and challenge the true cause in its own backyard.
It goes like this: Sewing Machines place power in the hands of the deprived. Backyard Farms place food on the tables of families who lack the basics. Water wells save hundreds of hours for women and children from the toil of fetching water for their daily needs. Freedom Goats mission offers supplement income for housewives and families.
Seeking to obey the Holy Spirit, and learning from the results, Sanma Occupational Missions place power in the hands of those who are deprived of opportunity to grow and give ownership to contribute. These missions reveal the beauty and power of the gospel. In a world where many messengers of the gospel seem to have lost sight of the principles, souls continue to hunger for the truth of Jesus Christ.
Sanma Occupational Missions empower ordinary men and women as channels that relay the gospel to the world, uncensored. Operating beyond the public eye and away from the vociferous marketplace of religion, these missionaries build the Kingdom and bring the lost to the Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
“…And those who turn many to righteousness [shall shine] like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:3.
I hope you’re better off having visited us. If the information you find here inspires you to turn souls to the Savior, our purpose served. We’re grateful that you stopped by. And thank you for choosing Sanma, a channel for your missions.
May the Lord bless you!
Respectfully, in Christ,
James George
Executive Director
True stories are beautiful. The truest one that you write is your own.
We are a small, passionate organization based in Arlington, Texas. In 1998 a small group of Christian professionals started a “conversation” around helping people to inspire others with their own stories. And this gave birth to Sanma, which eventually took shape of an organization.
During the past 28 years of our work our approach to situation has been consisted of listening, praying, and learning from the results. When come across situations that obstruct progress, we listen to those who are within the immediate impact, then pray, seeking the help of the Holy Spirit to prepare solutions. Occupational Missions derived from this method.
Being a smaller organization affords us to be agile. God has been faithful allowing Sanma to empower people with the truth of Jesus Christ, and to equip them as contributing citizens. Our work was organized as a legal entity in 1998, giving us a more structured method to operate and to give others opportunity to join. During the twenty-eight years we’ve had the privilege of witnessing Occupational Missions solve problems where they begin.
This site is an effort to make known the truth we found and to share with you what we’ve learned. Freedom and independence through Gospel missions brings out the best in people. This is true everywhere, with everyone. Sanma Occupational Missions presents a Christian approach to the problems of our world.
“The Lord records as he registers the peoples, “This one was born there.””
SANMA gets it! They understand that mission is about reaching others by offering real answers to the real needs of those whom they have a chance to touch. It is about sustainability and presence, not ‘dump and run.’ And it’s all done in the name of Jesus so that His kingdom can be spread in India. SANMA is the real deal.
I have led medical missions to India with Sanma. Our team appreciated the opportunity to use our profession to introduce the Great Physician, Jesus Christ. Sanma is not a typical foreign mission agency. It’s a trustworthy organization that is well connected with the rural villages of India.
The most common-sense missions. Christ centered. We should know this before setting out for international missions.
My relationship with Sanma has been so rewarding. Visiting their mission fields I got to know this honorable organization and the people that make lasting difference in lives. Sanma gets the Gospel to the lost souls of India, teach and show the love of Jesus to make their lives productive. I see so many blessed with this, and believe God’s hand is upon this ministry.
What impresses us is the way Sanma uses their missions to empower people. There are many that help the poor. Sanma has an altogether new dimension for this. The organization qualifies and trains each recipient to display the life-changing effects of the Gospel. The beneficiaries of our gifts are empowered as missionaries. We have been partners for more than 13 years. Our relationship gets stronger because we reach India with the Gospel through this work, in the most practical way.
