9. PRINTING GOSPEL LITERATURE - of various kinds In several Indian languages (and English).

10. KAREN PRIMARY SCHOOL - This is a school for slum area children in Hyderabad, who (because of family poverty) are unable to attend school anywhere else (one way to create opportunities to lead precious souls to Christ).
