India for Christ
Pastors John & Leena Bascom
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100
Faith Harvest Ministries - India
Devoted to the Ministry of the Saints
1 Corinthians 16:15
Reverend John Bascom is the pastor of Bristol Baptist Church in New Hampshire. He and his wife, Leena, were unanimously voted in during the spring of 2025. His heart is for missions, demonstrated in his commitment to Faith Harvest Ministries - India. John was born in India and later adopted by an American couple and raised in New Hampshire. Leena has a tender heart for prayer, seeking God to move mountains. The India mission includes evangelism, educating, encouraging, and edifying pastors and their families as well as dedication to the children of their orphanage. Christians in India face terrible persecution from their government, communities, and families. Yet God's people press on and into the Kingdom of God, willing to pay the price. The Duanesburg Florida Baptist Church family wholeheartedly affirms and supports the work of this vital and powerful ministry. Please keep them in prayer.
Pastors' Conferences
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
Ephesians 4:11-13
John's Report: I wanted to take a minute to update you on Faith Harvest Ministries - India. We are conducting a three-days pastors' conference every month in remote villages. This work continues to educate, edify, and expand the knowledge of the Scriptures for those who are in ministry. Our churches are safe and continue to do well. The churches are limited as far as sharing the Gospel openly and in public but the believers continue to share their faith with their families and friends in secret. In spite of persecutions and threats, the believers in India continue to open their homes for special family celebrations, prayer meetings, Bible studies, and fasting & prayer. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. It is truly appreciated.
