Hoskote Mission is one of the main mission fields of the Marthoma Evangelistic Association (MTEA) and is situated 25 km from Bangalore away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Under the leadership of Rev. M G.

The Mission work, which began discreetly in Hoskote Village, has grown to include hundreds more villages in its ministry. The Hospital
