Grace Resurrection Methodist Church hosted its first-ever Missions Dinner on June 19, 2025, featuring a moving presentation by Dr. Ananthi Jebasingh, founder of the Good Samaritan School in Delhi, India. The event drew members of the congregation together for an evening of authentic fellowship, inspiration, and global connection.
Dr. Jebasingh, a friend of Senior Pastor Rev. James Williams, shared the extraordinary story of how a few hungry children knocking on her door ignited a movement. From those humble beginnings, the Good Samaritan School has grown into a thriving Christian school system with four campuses serving some of Delhi’s most underserved communities. Remarkably, the school began by meeting in a bathroom for its first ten years.
Today, it stands as a beacon of hope, education, and faith for hundreds of students in need.
Guests were treated to an evening that was as meaningful as it was beautiful, with traditional Indian cuisine, elegant silk centerpieces, and the presence of two visiting school principals who shared their perspectives on the impact of the mission. Dr. Jebasingh’s humility and courage left a lasting impression on all who attended.
“This is what the Church is called to be,” said Rev. Williams. “A people rooted in love, reaching across the world with open hands and open hearts.”
Grace Resurrection (website) invites the community to follow along on social media for future mission-focused events and opportunities to get involved.
