INTRODUCTION
India Full Gospel Missionary Institute is a theological training centre under "India Full Gospel Mission". Its purpose is to mould young men for the Christian ministry, working as Pastors, Evangelists, Teachers and Missionaries. India, with her vast population remains to be evangelized. Rom. 10: 14-17 says how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how they believe in him if they have never heard him? And how will anyone go and tell them unless some on sends him? That is what scriptures are talking about when they say, How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things; Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the work of Christ. From the above Scripture the desperate need of North India for Gospel is even great.
With a great burden for reaching the un-evangelized part of our land, our missionary institute was established.
