Educating, Equipping & Encouraging India’s Pastors

one conference at a time

Let them know

they’re not alone.

The India Pastors Project hosts pastoral training conferences for the poorest and most isolated of India’s pastors — equipping them with Biblical teachings, spiritual mentorship, and Christian community, all at zero cost to them.

India’s population has reached nearly 1.5 billion.

Less than 3% knows the love of Jesus.

EDUCATE.

ENCOURAGE.

EQUIP.

REPEAT.

Many of India’s pastors have zero access to:

  • Formal Biblical Education

  •  Teaching Resources

  • Spiritual Development & Mentorship

Most face extreme poverty and

extreme loneliness.

Together, 

we’re changing that.

These faithful men are passionate and eager

to know & share the love of Christ.

They just need a bit of help.

Thanks to you, extreme poverty

doesn’t have to be a barrier anymore.

DISCOVER YOUR IMPACT

"'What can I do for Jesus?

Many people told me you have to be

educated and wealthy.

But in these conferences

I have come to realize that

Jesus called all kinds of people,

including the poor and uneducated like myself.

I will preach the gospel to the people.

We’re Built On

Leveraging Every. Single. Dollar.

1

When the difference between an entire village hearing the gospel or not is only $11, you can’t help but treat every dollar with the utmost care.

Local Leadership & Guidance

2

We believe collaborating with local leaders—who know their culture, customs & community better than we ever will—is the best way to empower a nation and create sustainable change.

Real Relationships

3

The India Pastors Project training conferences are so much more than a gathering. They’re the formation of a global family—one we’re endlessly honored to be a part of.

A Whole Lot of Prayer

4

We constantly pray for our Indian brothers & sisters. And we feel the constant prayers of both our Indian family, and donors like you.

Thank you.
