Missions in India

Since the early days of missions in India (think William Carey sailing for Calcutta in 1793) and on through today, as first-generation believers began to emerge, the Lord called many of these new Christians to evangelism among their own people. While these indigenous missionaries usually had less formal education they proved to be deeply committed workers for Christ's kingdom. Often hungry and sometimes barefoot, they moved out in faith to serve God—loving souls with a passion borne of much prayer.

Today, national pastors across all of India represent an evangelism workforce of around 400,000. This large and already on-the-move network of national pastors is central to missions in India today. As we work together to equip these indigenous workers with training, tools, and ministry expansion funds—can God transform a nation in a generation?

To get a feel for missions in India, remember that India lies deep inside the 10/40 Window—an invisible rectangle on the map extending from 10 degrees north to 40 degrees north of the equator, from North Africa to East Asia.

Two things about the 10/40 Window stand out. It’s where many of the world’s poorest live. And, it’s where the Christian Gospel is least accessible, overshadowed by several dominant religions. Of the 4 billion people living in the Window, consider who they are:

865 million Muslims

800 million Hindus

275 million Buddhists

140 million people—animists mostly—in 2,550 tribal groups

Many governments in the 10/40 Window crack down on Christian evangelism, and believers often suffer for their faith. It’s no surprise that this part of the world has thousands of unreached people groups, each with its own distinct language and culture, which remain the Great Commission focus for mission organizations around the world.

God has called the church to span the gap between His heart for orphaned and at-risk youth and the huge problem that exists today, both internationally and domestically. The church is God’s vehicle to reach the hurting and lost. There is no “plan B.”
