In pursuance of our objectives and the burden to reach out to the lost souls with the gospel we have been actively working among the downtrodden communities and with a special emphasis on the tribal people that live far way in the deep jungles. To accomplish the desired targets we have launched out few projects:
Church Planting
Due to dearth of trained pastors and committed evangelists thousands of believers could not enjoy the privilege of worshipping their savior Lord Jesus. And because of the lack of funds and the poor economic background they were not able to have worship places for Sunday services. TGVM has planted 10 churches so far according to the needs of the congregations and the availability of the funds. Wherever it is necessary we are supporting as many as 20 paster's now.
Evangelism
Hundreds of souls are perishing every year without having access to gospel. Thousands of souls are found in distress and despair and being lost because the truth is not preached to them. TGVM is seriously concerned for these souls and is committed to evangelize the slums, rural, semi-rural and tribal areas around Vizag. To this effect a full fledged team has been trained by TGVM and is working among the illiterate, poor and the tribals. Perishing souls being reached with the gospel and the saved ones are being added to the church week after week.
Gospel/Healing Crusades
TGVM is committed and dedicated to take the Word of God in to the midst of the people. Gospel and Healing Crusades are the best way to draw thousands of people from the surrounding villages at one place. Towards this end we have been organizing the crusades with eminent speakers every year without fail in Shivajipalem not sparing the huge costs involved in. The crusades are very successful where about 500 people gave their lives so far and as many people taken decisions to attend church regularly in their respective places. God been using us mightily in this area of ministry.
Prayer Cell
TGVM Prayer Cell has been launched to minister to the distressed and depressed souls to offer counseling through the Word of God and to encourage by prayer. Dedicated prayer warriors offer their services 24 hours a day for those that call by phone or visit at the cell. People who are trying to commit suicide in distress are given divine counseling and are coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus through the prayers by the prayer warriors. People are being delivered from the bondages of sickness, alcoholism and from the clutches of evil spirits.

Socio-Economic Development Projects
Help to Widows
Widowhood is considered as a bane in the Indian communities and hence they are not allowed to appear in the public, they are forbidden to the religious and auspicious celebrations and occasions. They are not allowed to work in the offices and factories. They are forced to depend either on the in-laws or the parents and are looked down. In view of the untold sufferings and problems faced by the widows due to the stigma in the society TGVM has taken up the challenge to support them morally and financially in order to alleviate their problems to some extent.
Feeding The Orphans
Millions of Children in India are living in utter Poverty conditions, not educated and found wandering in the streets as their parents are lost in the natural calamities that occur in the land frequently or divorces that are taking place every day. Thousands of orphans are suffering under the clutches of child labour. These orphans are missing the parental love, and thousands are harshly treated by relatives, these rejected children are just looking up for love and cared. TGVM takes up this issue as a challenge and wanted to help them by establishing orphanages and provide shelter, food and education.
Feeding The Poor
Due to illiteracy, ignorance and unemployment millions of people are living in utter poverty and even below the poverty line. And millions of people are not in a position to afford for two square meals a day. They are living in pathetic conditions unable to feed themselves and their families. And because of this many are forced to beg on the streets and many are starving to death. TGVM with on a humanitarian ground has plans to feed such people at least two meals a day.
Help for Physically Handicapped
Physically handicapped have become a burden to their families which is caused for not of their mistake. Because of the handicaps they are not properly treated at home or in the society. They are deprived off educational and job opportunities. Hence they are not able to earn for themselves and were forced to be dependants. TGVM with a concern for such handicapped has proposals to provide rehabilitation services to the deaf, blind and other handicapped persons by establishing vocational training centers and rehabilitation centers.
Education to All
Nearly 45% of the population in India belongs to economically weaker and backward sections of the society who are living with basic amenities and utter poverty conditions. They live on daily wages which are just meager not even enough to have 3 meals a day. Their children are denied good quality education because the parents cannot afford to and on the other side education has become expensive. Hence they are losing employment opportunities and are continuing in poverty itself for ages together. TGVM wanted to offer free quality education to the children of economically weaker communities by establishing and running good standard schools.
Water Sheds
Crops are failing years after year due to prevalent draught situation. The crops which are about to hand are withered and lost due acute water shortage. The ground water is depleted due to shortage of rain fall. Whatever water received by rains is not saved and so is going waste. And because of the crop failures hundreds of farmers are committing suicides as they could not And people are suffering even for drinking water every year during the summer.
Medical Camps
To organize free medical camps like eye camps, cancer screening camps, health education camps, dental camps, school health and so on for the poor people living in remote villages as the there are no medical facilities available. And moreover the poor village people are not able to afford for such.
HIV/AIDS Awareness
HIV/AIDS is fast spreading and has penetrated even into the general public society throwing a challenge to the public and the government and the NGO's. The spread is so rampant that if neglected most percentage of the population will be infected soon. As there is no cure available for the deadly epidemic awareness only seems to be the ultimate option. And TGVM is all to set launch out awareness programs to check the peace of this deadly epidemic.
Evangelical Projects
Street Preaching
Street preaching is the most effective and powerful means to reach the village communities. Street preaching mixed with live testimonies attract the illiterate masses and gives an opportunity to preach the gospel.
Out Reach Among Hills and Valleys
Hundreds of families belonging to different tribes are living in the hills and valleys which are not accessible easily for preaching. Hundreds of people in these areas are perishing with gospel. We have proposals to reach such hilly regions with the gospel and save the perishing souls.
Film Ministry
Film ministry is considered to be the most ideal media of ministering the word of God to the rural millions. The populations show more interest in watching the movies where by an opportunity is created to give them the gospel. For this we desire to reach the villages with the gospel by screening Christian movies.
Audio Ministry
Gospel Melodies have a great impact upon the souls and are faster in spreading the word of God. We have plans to produce audios and cds of gospel melodies mixed with the word of God.
Vision
The vision of TGVM is to preach the gospel disciples from all nations according to gospel of Mathew. “Go ye therefore, and teach all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost”.
