About Net India
Net India was founded as a
non-profit mission's ministry
by Ken & Tracy Grindle .in
the
year 2000, Ken, Tracy,
their daughter McClain and
son Micah obediently
followed God's calling on
their lives and began serving
the people of India. The origin
and formation of Net India is
Bible based its foundation
scripture is taken from the
Gospel according to Mark
chapter one verse
seventeen. Jesus said,
“Come and follow me and I
will show you how to fish
for people.” The first
disciples after hearing these
words immediately left their nets to follow Jesus. These common
fishermen found their passion and purpose in following and serving
Jesus. The Grindle family did as the disciples, leaving the security
and comfort of their family, friends and professions. This is the true
meaning and purpose of Net India ministries, connecting people,
helping them passionately fish for people in order to reach people
for Christ. This network of people reaching people is daily expanding!
After living in India six months each year since 2000 God currently
has the grindlegang based in Gainesville, Georgia in the USA. The
immediate strategic work of expanding Net India's stateside territory
while developing more connections is vital. Ken, Tracy also
continually engage and equip individuals for short-term missions. Net
India relies heavily on the volunteer work of short-term missionaries
realizing the great value and investment of short-term mission
projects.
Church on the Street
Thanks to all of you that helped with Church on the Street in July while we were in India! We heard it was incredible and God did some awesome stuff! This month was great as well as we memorialized the life of Denese Humphries, who went to be with the Lord 7/17/11 .
She was a special friend of ours that God brought in our lives through 'Church on the Street'. Denese had many obstacles in life but, praise God she knew Christ in a personal way and we know she is in heaven today! As many of you heard her share her testimony at our Annual Church on the Street Picnic in May, we have no doubt she may have lost her struggle with addiction here on earth, but won with victory through Christ. She is finally at peace.
Many shared about how much she meant to them at our service and then Ken reminded us that though we will have troubles here in this life, we can rest assured if we are saved we will one day see our precious Savior face to face and our troubles will be no more!
'Church on the Street' meets every 4th Sunday of each month @ JayLou's Restaurant Parking lot(corner of Industrial & Pine St.)@ 9:30 AM.
I will be kind to the poor for they are alone, kind to the rich for they are afraid. And, kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.Max Lucado
