About Bible Faith Lutheran Church of India
Bible Faith Lutheran Church of India is an independent, confessional Lutheran church with headquarters located in southeast India in the city of Guntur in the state of Andhra Pradesh, about 40 miles from the Bay of Bengal.
Bible Faith Lutheran Church of India was founded by the late Rev. Bhushana Rao Dasari in 1978 and incorporated in 1980. The ministry was to bring the gospel to the rural villages of Andhra Pradesh, providing the Word of God to the farmers of the area and establishing churches in villages where there were no other churches. The work involved predominately church planting, social and educational programs to help the socio-economically disadvantaged people. Ten island churches had been established by 1980.
Moriah Children’s Home and School
Improving the lives and education of the Moriah Children
The Moriah Children’s Home, was established by Mrs. Deva Karuna Dasari In 1984. The home accommodated a range of 50-100 children, most of whom had one or no parents, providing a safe, stable, and loving environment. Without the home, these children would not have had access to educational opportunities or the stability of a loving home. Moriah Children’s home has provided a home including food, medical care, education & scriptural instruction for hundreds of children and a loving Christian environment.
The late Mrs. Deva Karuna Dasari founded the Moriah School in 1999 under the Bible Faith Lutheran Church of India. It is a government accredited private school created to increase opportunities for children from economically-disadvantaged families to obtain a quality education from preschool through 10th grade. Many of the students were the first to gain an education in their families. With approximately 25 children per grade, the school focused on early childhood intervention through nutrition, enrichment, and environment.
Many of the children have become doctors, lawyers, government workers and business entrepreneurs in India and abroad.
