Shalom Bible College
Many young men and women in India have felt the call to
ministry, but lack theological education. The reality of this leaves them
ill-equipped to raise up biblically mature disciples for the kingdom of God.
This also impacts church planting, stunting the growth of new churches because
of a lack of qualified leaders.

Lead by President Ravi Sundar, the Shalom Bible
College seeks to "Serve
the Servers.” We accomplish this by providing free tuition to those who have a
desire to serve God as ministers of the gospel, and developing church
leadership. In turn, they can better minister to their congregations and reach
out to the lost.
We achieve this by intensive training in the core
Theological subjects, providing hands on practical experience conducting gospel
meetings and witnessing in area villages, and providing Bibles, tracts and
other printed materials. When they graduate they are inserted into an unreached
village where they are required to plant a church; they will be supported for
their first year of service, and trained to develop some type of cottage industry to
become self-supporting. All of this is without charge as provided by the
generosity of our funding partners.
To accomplish this purpose Asia International Mission raises
funds to hold pastors conferences throughout India,
and to give those who feel the call of God to the ministry an opportunity to
attend Bible College.
With dozens of new churches being planted each year, there
is a great need for pastor and leadership
Shalom Bible College Students |
Many times, Christians are called to serve the Lord, and yet
they have no financial means to study and prepare themselves for service.
Through our Timothy Fund, we help students through edification, encouragement,
and financial support.
Criteria evaluated include financial need, educational
achievement, personal character, and spiritual maturity. We help native
students attend Bible
College in preparation for
pastoral service.
