India

REGIONAL DESCRIPTION:

India, with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, presents a vast and varying challenge for missions. Vast because Christians make up less than 3 percent of the population. Varying because there over 2000 unreached people groups. The India region also encompasses Nepal and Bhutan which adds to the challenge due to the mountainous terrain. Partnering with the local Christian leadership has been such a blessing to help us overcome the many challenges. There is an enormous call for leadership training that is possible through Live School and thanks to the achievements of Local leaders we are seeing a continual expansion of the training. Currently we have 500 facilitators trained, 326 schools that have been started, including 3 361 total students.

Quick Words and Reports

Live Schools

The first Live School to be started in the North East India region. These 15 students had traveled to Jaigoan to attend a Bible college which was completely shut down due to COVID virus. The students could not travel back to various NE India states, Nepal and Bhutan so they began to pray. God sent a trained LS Facilitator who met one of the students and began the school immediately. They are watching 6 videos per day, 5 days per week and will finish in 2 months with Outreaches planned back in their home locations. Praise God for orchestrating this training in the midst of challenging circumstances.

This Live School in India has started after a local Facilitator training session which equipped 10 LS Facilitators. There are 15 students enrolled in this intake. More schools are being planned as the Facilitators are teaming up in pairs and recruiting students as lock down situation in a India is gradually opening up.

This is first session of a new Live School that has started in India. 12 students have enrolled and will be utilizing a battery powered projector soon to display the videos because electricity supply is not reliable and is disrupted on a daily basis. God is instilling a mission vision in these students as they prepare to go out into the harvest fields of the Himalayans.
