INDIA FULL GOSPEL MISSIONARY INSTITUTE
PROSPECTUS
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. |
|
|
|
