KUWAIT MARTHOMA VOLUNTARY MISSION
The Kuwait Marthoma Voluntary Mission was formed in April 1992 (KMTVM) as a unique Organization. As the name speaks out for itself, it is a voluntary venture of some of the Marthomite members of Kuwait Parish.
We as a like minded group of marthomites, out of our burning desire to spread the good news (gospel) across our country, not only contributed liberally but also prayed together for all evangelists working on our behalf and all children, organizations who are beneficiaries of our monthly contributions. It is amazing rather praiseworthy that monthly, without any force or compellation, these members are contribution liberally through monthly contributions and through sacrificial offerings, which enable us to remit Rs.1, 33,000/- on monthly basis. We are also happy that many of our parish members are also participating in this noble cause by contributing through sacrificial offerings. At present there are 101 regular members who are contributing to the mission & charity work, with KD 5, 10, 15 etc. according to their capacity & allocation from their tithe for this wonderful ministry.

Cottage Prayer Meetings.
Cottage prayer meetings are being conducted every fourth Thursday of every month in different areas of our parish for praying for the mission fields and the evangelists/children we are sponsoring. Let us praise God Almighty for His loving care for our mission fields and children.
Fasting prayer is conducting every third Friday of the months having five Fridays, at NECK Diwaniya under the active leadership and participation of Kuwait Marthoma Voluntary Mission members. The basket collection (Sacrificial Offerings) taking on that Friday at NECK Diwaniya and Greek Catholic Church Salwa is utilizing for the support of our evangelistic work. We sincerely extend our gratitude for our parish members for the support and prayer for the evangelistic work.
The main source of the income for KMVM is the voluntary contribution of our church members and three Area Prayer Groups (Sharon, St. Peter's & St. Paul's).
