The mission participates in education promotion programmes, child welfare and Church planting, specifically with remote tribal communities in India. It has adopted 24 children, most of whom are orphans.
It is an inter-denominational group, founded by Pastor Augustine Manickathan, who grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Kerala.

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“But nothing in India is identifiable, the mere asking of a question causes it to disappear or to merge in something else.”
