India Update: A Remarkable Honour

19 November 2025 · 2 min read

Celebrating a Remarkable Honour for IGM Children Homes

At Venture Church, we believe that courage looks different for everyone — and sometimes courage looks like decades of faithful care, compassion, and commitment to vulnerable children. Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate a significant achievement by one of our long-standing mission partners, Indian Gospel Mission (IGM).

This year, IGM Children Homes was honoured with the Best Child Care Institution & Women’s Innovation Award 2025, presented by the former Governor of Puducherry and Telangana. This national recognition affirms the extraordinary work being done to uplift, educate, and provide a safe home for children who need it most.

Rev. Dr Jehoshaphat P. Williams, Chairman of IGM Children Homes, has dedicated this award to God first, and also to their board members, staff, children, prayer partners, government officials, and long-term supporters. It is a moment of celebration for everyone who has stood with them in prayer, generosity, and belief.

Why this matters to Venture Church

Through LightForce International, our Mission arm, and through giving to our All In Fund, Venture Church has been able to consistently support the life-changing work happening at IGM Children Homes. Your generosity makes a real difference — not just in buildings or programmes, but in the futures of young people who deserve hope and opportunity.

Let’s keep strengthening their hands

As IGM continues to rescue, raise, and restore lives, we want to keep standing with them boldly. Your ongoing support helps fuel their daily work, expands their care, and equips them to serve even more children.

If you’d like to contribute or continue your support, you can give through our All In Missions Fund and designate your gift towards international missions.

Together, we are bringing courage, hope, and transformation to communities far beyond Milton Keynes.
