Missions in India

Our church is praying for me as I prepared to go to India on a missions trip. Evangelist Larry McFadden and I will be preaching and teaching the Word of God in Bible training seminars in southern India. We will speak to about 175 pastors and 165 college students in Trivandrum and then to about 200 pastors in Chennai. For many of them, this is the only Bible training they receive.

India is a land of one billion population. Predominantly Hindu, only about 2.5% of India’s people profess to be Christians of all denominations, and only about 1% profess to be evangelical, or born again Christians. That figures out to about 10-million Christians among 1-billion population.

There are 200 people groups in India not yet reached with the Bible in their own language. India is called the “land of 300 million gods.” Because Indian people are often ready to “add” any new god to their pantheon of belief, it is important to proclaim the exclusivity of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father except through Me!” That is the message I will take to India.
