MARCHING TOWARDS THE CENTENARY VISION TO PLANT 100 THOUSAND CHURCHES
VISION
Transformed India
Our vision is to see a transformed India where every person has the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.
Vision
We aspire to ensure happy faces on every individual of our land with peace and serenity and no human should be left without food and other basic needs. We envision a network of thriving churches across India, each one grounded in the truth of the Bible and committed to sharing the love of Christ with their communities fulfilling the great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ and also serving them.
MISSION
Equipping & Empowering
We accomplish the vision by identifying and engage with receptive people groups, discipling them, and equipping and empowering frontline evangelists and native missionaries to reach the unreached and multiply churches among them.
Mission
Through our ministries, training programs, and partnerships, we aim to develop strong, self-governing, and self-supporting churches that are firmly rooted in the truth of the Bible and committed to serving their communities. We strive to achieve our vision of a transformed India by pursuing excellence in all that we do, being faithful to our Master Plan, and trusting in the power of God to bring about lasting change.
