India | One Million Children Country

Looking Forward to the Future

Outside the United States, there is a serious lack of children’s Bible teaching materials and teacher training. Local pastors, evangelists and church planters from churches around the world, most specifically across India, are reaching out for help. As a result, children are rapidly emerging as one of the leading ministry priorities in India.

Gospel Light Worldwide introduced the “One Million Children” theme as a word picture to concentrate ministry resources and efforts. Since then, India has become our first identified “One Million Children” country.

We joined with the indigenous church and other international and resident ministry partners to simultaneously translate lessons from English into Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. To reach the rest of India and “One Million Children” by the end of 2012, we will concentrate our efforts in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, where churches currently have the greatest domestic evangelistic outreach.

Ministry Objectives

1. Design the most effective and user-friendly children’s Bible study model for all parties involved.
2. Develop a sustainable, measurable and missionary sensitive program to deliver consistently superior field application.
3. Focus alliances, geography and languages for greatest missionary potential.

$10,000 will train 1,000 teachers to deliver weekly Bible lessons to 10,000 Indian children
