Our Story
Greater Love was founded in 2006 by Sujeet and Leena Nuthulapaty from a Christian conviction that the love of Jesus Christ should be proclaimed in word and demonstrated through compassionate action. For several years, their family lived in India and served alongside local leaders. They returned to the United States in 2023, but the work continues through long-term relationships and trusted partnerships.
Love Proclaimed. Love Lived Out.
From the beginning, Greater Love has sought to express Christian faith through both practical care and spiritual encouragement.
Embrace the Vulnerable
Love Lived Out
Supporting children, families, and communities facing poverty, illness, and social exclusion through education, health and nutrition programs, community support, and emergency relief.
Encourage the Church
Love Proclaimed
Supporting separate faith-rooted initiatives, including children's camps, youth programs, and training and encouragement for local pastors and Christian leaders.

Legacy of Partnership
Some gifts have helped establish spaces that continue serving communities today.
Rapha Medical Center
In Memory of Mrs. Dorothy Van Zomeren
Rapha Medical Center was established with a grant from David Van Zomeren through Greater Love in honor of his mother, Mrs. Dorothy Van Zomeren.
The center supports medical outreach that helps families access consultations, referrals, and follow-up care.
The Walter Bradley Block
The main office block at the NASA campus was funded by Dr. Walter Bradley and his family.
The building supports the coordination of NASA's programs and reflects the value of long-term partnership.
Working With NASA
NASA is an Indian-led organization based in Tuni, Andhra Pradesh. For nearly four decades, NASA has served children, families, and vulnerable communities across coastal Andhra Pradesh.
Greater Love supports selected NASA programs, emergency-relief needs, and the local capacity required for consistent care.
Our role is to support locally led work, not to direct it or claim NASA's history as our own.
Faith and Community
Greater Love also supports separate faith-rooted initiatives, including children's camps, youth programs, and training and encouragement for local pastors and Christian leaders.
A cohort of 46 local pastors currently gathers each month for biblical teaching, practical training, fellowship, and encouragement. Many serve rural communities with limited access to formal theological education or ongoing ministry resources.
This initiative is supported separately by Greater Love and is not administered by NASA.
Support the Work
Greater Love supports programs for children and families, health and nutrition initiatives, emergency needs, and faith-rooted programs through appropriate local partnerships.
