[edit] Background

Jesus called His twelve disciples, trained them and sent them two by two into the world to preach the Good News. Similarly, GGM trains Indian men and women and sends them two by two into Hindu villages. These young men and women establish friendships in the villages and start Sunday Schools and later Churches. In order to train and equip these missionaries, Indian Theological Seminary (ITS) was founded in 1990.

ITS prepares three types of Church planters (a) bare foot evangelists (C.Th) (b) Bachelor of Theology (B.Th) (c) Master of Divinity (M.Div). Graduates who prepare at ITS fulfill the vision of “Preaching Christ and Planting Churches” in every village, town and city. Many return to their homes in the various parts of India to continue teaching, preaching, and planting churches.
