The Hindu World - India

We praise the Lord for leading us to get involved in India. The sheer size and complexity of this nation and culture is staggering!

  • Almost 1.2 billion people
  • 378 million children under age 14
  • 18.5 million child laborers
  • 4 major castes and 3000 sub-castes
  • 190 million ‘untouchables’ or Dalits
  • 15 major language groups
  • 2695 different people groups
  • 330 million ‘faces’ of God in Hinduism
  • 81% Hindu, 14% Muslim and 2% Christian
After conducting a survey trip to several southern states, we have begun to develop a relationship through Serve India Ministries, an organization led entirely by Indian believers. SIM’s vision, under the leadership of Pastor Ebenezer Samuel is to plant churches in 100,000 unreached villages by the year 2020.
 

We currently support Pastor Abraham Varughese and his wife Raji. The leader for the India focus is Todd Ware
