One of our main goals is mission work through church planting which we began in 1982. We have 50 native missionaries and churches in various parts of North India. These native missionaries can easily adapt to the culture, language and social customs of India.

For years, missionaries from South India traveled to the North to preach the good news. Today the situation has changed. We have committed people from North India and they are effective, because they speak Hindi, the regional language and easily adapt to the culture. They are also ready to face difficult situations. Due to the lack of resources we are unable to send more missionaries to the mission field.

Through these missionaries the ministry has expanded to areas where the gospel had never reached before. New churches were established, even in leper colonies. When missionary Naba Kishore joined us in 2001, he began his ministry with an earnest passion to reach perishing souls and plant a church. The Lord began working through him. In just a few months time he baptized about 25 people and a church was planted. The believers gather every week for prayer and worship, and the majority of them come from Hindu backgrounds.

Some of our missionaries work in dangerous areas. Some of the locals of this area are against Christians and do all they can to oppose the work of God.

Souls added and Miracles happen through Missionaries

Each missionary has a testimony of how the Lord touched and changed lives. When they share the good news, people accept Christ, especially radical Hindus. When they prayed, people were healed and miracles happened. One day missionary Joy Varghese went to a non-believer's family, where their daughter Sayan suffered from acute depression and often exhibited disturbing characteristics. He shared the good news and the family professed faith in the risen Christ.

Then our missionary under a mighty anointing of God prayed for Sayan and the evil spirits that had controlled the young girl left her. Missionary Vinod wrote, Ramabhai is a 55-year-old widow from an orthodox Hindu background, who decided to follow the God that her son followed. Her son Rajkumar and his wife became Christians through missionary Vinod's outreach. Field reports say new converts have started witnessing about Jesus and souls are being touched as they share about the radical changes they have experienced in their lives. God is doing great things. Pray for the Lord of the Harvest to send more missionaries to this great mission field.
