Din Bandhu

"Friend Of The Poor"

 


Din Bandhu is a church, social benefactor and church planting ministry targeting poor and un-reached people groups in eastern Maharashtra, India. They focus on three different segments of society: the Tribals, the Other Backward Castes (OBCs) and the Scheduled Castes (SCs) - some of India's poorest and least reached people groups spiritually, socially and economically. Din Bandhu longs to bring justice and dignity through the truth and power of the Gospel to people who have suffered oppression and bondage at the hands of a caste system that calls them sub-human, untouchable or worthless.


Formed in 1991, Din Bandhu is an indigenous Indian Christian ministry embracing the historically central tenets of the Christian faith as expressed in the Apostles' Creed. The unique calling of Din Bandhu can be found in the meaning of the name, "Friend of the Poor." As individuals and as a ministry they are committed to bringing the Lordship of Jesus Christ - "The Friend of the Poor" - into the lives of some of India's poorest and least reached People Groups - spiritually, socially and economically.
