Courage in Action: 150 Sacks of Hope Sent to India

8 May 2026 · 2 min read

From the UK to India

This week marked a powerful moment for our team as we packed and sent 150 sacks of clothing to IGM India, a shipment filled not just with fabric, but with purpose, compassion, and courage.

Collected from generous schools across the UK, these bags were filled mostly with new school uniforms and sportswear. Each item represents more than practical provision; it carries dignity, belonging, and the opportunity for a child to step confidently into their future.

Partnering with IGM India


These clothes are being sent to the Indian Gospel Mission (IGM) in Tamil Nadu, India, an organisation dedicated to caring for vulnerable children and helping them access education, stability, and hope.

Through their work, children are not only provided for physically but are also nurtured emotionally and spiritually.

We are honoured to partner with them in this mission.

More Than Clothing

It’s easy to see a shipment like this as a simple act of giving, but it’s so much more.

  • A school uniform can restore dignity
  • Sportswear can create opportunities for connection and growth
  • A practical gift can open the door to deeper transformation

At the heart of it all is our mission: We exist to bring people to Jesus and equip them to live courageously as fully devoted followers of Christ.

Through LightForce International, our Mission arm, and the generosity poured into our All In Fund, Venture Church has been able to stand with IGM in their vital work.

Thank You

This shipment is one small but meaningful expression of our calling to help others in need.

None of this would be possible without the incredible generosity and commitment of so many people.

To every school that donated, every volunteer who gave their time, and every supporter who continues to stand with us we want to say "Thank you".

You are part of something bigger. You are helping bring encouragement, opportunity, and hope to children across the world.

And that is courage in action.
