News: Posted 6/1/2005
In
April, our partners at Hindustand Bible Institute (HBI)
in Chennai, India, reported that 997 Indian pastors
from 14 different states in India had been trained through
their Church Mobilization Pastors Training (CMPT) program
-- an effort they jointly began with AIMS.
The
CMPT program began when Bobby Gupta, president of HBI,
has a vision to train national pastors and missionaries
to plan one million churches throughout India. Gupta
partnered with AIMS to create a cohort-model program
that would train pastors how to create a mission and
vision statement, discipleship, church planting strategies,
and growing a Great Commission Church.
Since
the program began in 2003, 519 hve completed all five
modules and have agreed to plant a minimum of 5 churches
each among unreached people groups in India. An additional
478 pastors plan to graduate this year. Collectively,
these pastors have formed networks to adopt 62 unreached
people groups in India.
"We
would like to thank AIMS for its partnership in equipping
the national pastors to mobilize their local churches
to grow as a Great Commission Church to disciple India
for Christ," said our partner at HBI. "We
truly appreciate all you have jointly done to reach
and disciple India for Christ."
