IEM is a multifaceted ministry with the goal of winning the lost, building and equipping the saints, and then sending them forth to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord (Mat 28:19, 20). IEM was founded in 1966 by Dr. G.V. Mathai, being burdened that millions of Indians were headed toward a Christless eternity.
Following the strategy of the Apostle Paul, “Being made all things to all men, that I by all means he might save some” (I Cor. 9:22), IEM is reaching the lost by meeting the spiritual, physical and material needs of the people. Large evangelical crusades, tract distribution, Christian Reading Rooms and Bible Correspondence Courses have all proven very effective in leading the spiritually hungry to Christ.
Since foreign missionaries are not allowed to preach the gospel in India, an important part of IEM’s ministry is training Indian nationals in the word of God that they may take a “fully equipped” role in winning souls for Christ and establishing churches. The IEM Bible College exists to meet this challenge.
God willing, IEM intends to continue its work in India by establishing a strong Christian witness, and planting churches in this predominantly anti-Christian group nation. By winning the lost, building and equipping the saints, and sending them forth we will be obedient to our Lord, for the furtherance of His kingdom.

“I work in North Thailand with Remember Nhu. Remember Nhu’s goal is to end child sex slavery through prevention. We currently have almost 200 children in our homes in North Thailand. I am the gifts, guidance, and goals coordinator. It is our goal that our children are able to support themselves and thrive in their adult lives whether that be through a higher education through a university or learning a trade at a vocational or technological school. It is my responsibility to work along side our children to develop a plan for their future by observing their individual gifts and talents and finding what track works best for each of them. My work is primarily with high school and university students (although I sneak in visits to the younger children). I meet with some of our university students weekly for bible study and worship as well. Because our organization is young, we have only begun having consistent groups of high school graduates. Thus, both my role and the program are new and developing.”

Robert and Caroline Nakisita Wafula, with their two children (Reign and Rinah), serve Uganda through Shepherd’s Heart International Ministry (SHIM). SHIM’s mission and purpose is to advance God’s Kingdom in the Buvuma Islands of Lake Victoria through transforming communities and empowering indigenous leaders to minister effectively among their own people.
Robert serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors for SHIM as well as Lingira Living Hope Secondary School (LLHSS), in addition to being both Directors of WE International Uganda (WEIU) and Co-ordinating Marathon Missions International (MMI).
Robert and Caroline have a deep affection for the Buvuma islands Ugandan people and for the future of the girl child. The purpose of their mission can be summed up in two categories: Evangelism and Discipleship.
Since 2006 Robert has been doing ministry work both on the island and mainland areas of Uganda including schools, churches and open-air crusades.
Please continue to pray for them alongside the team they work with in evangelism and discipleship as they build relationships with the indigenous people, as a practical means of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
