About the organisation:
The Mission:
Our vision is a church in every village in India: an India where every person has a chance to hear the good news of Jesus. We do this through sending Indian people to plant churches in unreached Indian villages, in partnership with local Indian leaders and Bible Colleges. Our culture is radical, sacrificial and Jesus-centric.
We value effectiveness and working smart as well as hard to reach as many villages as possible.
Loving God and loving each other remains our first priority.
Being founded in 2014, in our first 10 years we started churches in 4500 villages. In 2025 alone, that number was 2000. Our goal for 2026 is 3000 villages.
The global 2026 budget is £2.3M, up from £1.6M in 2025 and £1.1M in 2024. We are in a period of rapid expansion and the Founder CEO is looking to hand over many of his responsibilities to a COO who will partner with him in leading the mission.
