namaste1.pngindia logo.pngThe church in India is currently averaging 500 baptisms per day. We have experienced over 49,108 baptisms in the first quarter of this year. To God we give all the honor and glory.  It is His work.  We are simply invited into His field and are honored to work side by side with you in an amazing harvest of souls. May none be lost. The writer of Hebrews exhorts: "See to it that no one fail to obtain the grace of God" (Hebrews 12:15).
(Nah-mahs-teh)  In a number of India’s many languages (including Hindi) the word for hello or greetings, goodbye, etc.  When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. The gesture can also be performed wordlessly and carry the same meaning.

Whom shall we send?

KAKINADA, INDIA - India’s missionaries train here.

They come to the Kakinada School of Preaching from across India — including Bihar and Orissa states, where Christians routinely suffer persecution. Some bear the light skin and Asian features of Mainipur state in India’s far east. A few are from Myanmar, a nation in Southeast Asia where religious gatherings often are restricted or prohibited.

Despite the risks, the students intend to return to their homelands after graduation and plant churches.

The school began in 1971 with the goal of training “reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others,” president Nehemiah Gootam said, quoting the words of 2 Timothy 2:2.  

Those “reliable men” come increasingly from the Global South — India, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. Churches of Christ in these locales have boomed in the past century. Learn More

Two million baptisms reveal India as 'greatest restoration movement of our time'

These numbers are possible because India is a huge country with more than 1 billion people. Today one of every six people in the world lives in India.' By Ron Clayton
For The Christian Chronicle

November 1, 2005

I have been working in India since 1979. It has been quite a ride! On my first trip, I worked with one American and many Indian preachers for 25 days. I preached 61 times.

As a team, we baptized 900 souls. Much of this work was in new areas where teaching had been done, but churches had not yet been planted.

The idea that Americans go to India, preach and baptize hundreds after they hear the gospel one time is false. In each of the places I went, local Indian preachers had been working for months — sometimes, years. They had been teaching, planting and watering. Learn More

India and the subcontinent: A profile of churches

indiamapNEW DELHI, INDIA - The nimble rickshaw puller squeezes between street vendors on the narrow streets of India’s congested capital.

Peering between the stands selling samosas and chai tea, two American church members glimpse a service at a Hindu temple. Worshipers, on their knees and covered in flowers, wait to get a blessing from the priestess.
After the puller dutifully unloads their bags, the visitors wade through the bustling train station and begin the journey south. It’s a 30-hour ride to their destination.

Through the train windows they see the crowds of people evaporate as the urban sprawl of New Delhi gives way to fields of endless rice. After a night sleeping on the train’s flat berths, the visitors awake to a changed landscape. Learn More
