The vision of Gospel For India (GFI) was born in the hearts of Abraham and Sara Varghese over 3 decades ago in New Delhi, India. Beginning 1976, Abraham was a successful church-planter in the northern Indian mission fields. In the early 1980s he discovered the secret of “native-missionary multiplication.”
When he realized that over 4,000 Unreached People Groups (UPGs) needed native missionaries, he began looking for a different strategy. Of the 600,000 villages in India, he learned that over 500,000 had no gospel witness. To send just one missionary for every 10 unreached villages would take 50,000 native leaders!
Abraham decided that he needed to begin pouring his life into younger men and women according to II Timothy 2:2. Only by mobilizing the next generation of missionaries would he be able to address the awesome challenges of India.
With Sara’s support, they began to focus on training and equipping hundreds of native missionaries to duplicate what they had learned from their previous ministry experiences in India and surrounding countries. God blessed their vision and “Gospel For India” was organized. It was recognized by the Indian government in 1989. Today about 460 well-equipped, highly-motivated, native missionaries are spreading the gospel and planting churches.
