AIMS
Associates Expand Ministry into Six States in India
AIMS News: Posted 10/1/2004
Since
February 2003, two AIMS Associates have used AIMS materials
to train national pastors in India. Through their efforts,
pastors who have completed the training have spread
the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout six states in
India.
To
date, these two associates have trained 73 full-time
pastors working in the Indian states of Kerala, Tamil-Nadu,
Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Orissa.
The variety of languages and customs present within
these states create difficulty for missionaries and
pastors to spread the Gospel. These pastors often use
the Jesus film to overcome these barriers.
"The
Jesus film is a major tool for Gospel work," said
"Pastor Samuel," one of the 73 pastors trained
in India. "Villagers gather whole heartedly and
listen to the Gospel after the film is shown."
As
a result, between January and July of this year, these
pastors have led 1,216 people to Jesus Christ.
But
our two associates aren't satisfied. "We pray and
seek to raise a team of 100 pastors by the end of 2004,
so we can reach the other states as well."
