India Ministry
We have been working in India since 2016. In fact, this is where we went on our first mission trip. We had never seen such massive amounts of poor and hurting people as we had there. After we saw his, we could never turn our backs. Two years later we planted our first church. This was the start of our India ministry and the expansion of what and who we are today.
We have the most leaders and house churches in India, since it has so many people. It is also one of the most unreached places in the world. It is relatively easy for Hindu people to accept Jesus, but not His entire teaching. Since they believe in many different gods, it's not hard for them to add Jesus to their god list. It's a little harder to get them to only believe in Him and reject all the other gods of their religious culture. Many of them are though!

Facts About India
India's main religion is Hinduism. You can have as many gods as you want in Hinduism. There are millions of gods to choose from. Some say there are 33 million and others say 330 million gods. The idea of 33 million gods came when India had a population of 33 million people. There is something called as "Ishta Devata" in Hinduism which means they can create a god if they don't like any of the current ones. Currently the population of India is 1.39 billion but the most common god and goddess's have been decreased to about a dozen.
