Gospel House Handicrafts was started to provide training and employment to poor and semi-educated youth from marginalized areas of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Specializing in making wooden toys, utility items and ornamental handicrafts, Gospel House was able to buy land and build a workshop in Madampe, 40 miles outside of Colombo. The workshop now employs 45 woodworkers on a permanent basis and provides additional work to other artisans in the area. They also help to market the crafts of other artisan groups with whom they are associated.

SERRV has been purchasing wood products from Gospel House Handicrafts since 1994.
