Thousands Of Christian Schools Planned In New Delhi

July 14, 2004

DELHI, INDIA, June 1, 2004: (HPI note: this article is from a Christian

news service.) A Christian organization plans to set up 3,000 schools

around India's capital New Dehli amid hopes among missionary organizations

that the first ever non-Hindu Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh will

support evangelical efforts. Singh's Congress Party, headed by Italian

Christian politician Sonia Gandhi, has traditionally appealed to the

Christians and missionaries in India. The Missionary Network News (MNN)

reported on May 31, 2004 that it hopes with Singh in power, he will bring

about "wind of change." The Congress Party is lenient in enacting and

enforcing laws restricting fraudulent conversions or other extortive

practices used by missionaries.

A Bibles For The World official recently revealed its plans to aggressively

proselytize Indians now with the ruling Congress Party in power. "If we can

open three thousand schools around New Dehli, we are praying that the Lord

of the Harvest will send laborers, and that He will also provide the means

whereby we will be able to bring education to these people, and along with

that, we will share with them the life transforming message of the Lord

Jesus Christ," stated Bibles For The World's Rochunga Pudaite.

Pudaite said Christians in America are already sponsoring nearly 1,500

school children, a hospital, and a seminary in northeast India, a region

that has become Christian majority over the past decade due to missionary

activity and Christian militancy. MNN also said that sponsors have helped

plant "more than 300 Indian churches through partnering with Indian

national missionaries." In addition MNN said "The story of Jesus for

Children," was seen five months ago by an estimated 69.5 million Hindus,

Muslims and Sikhs including many children when it was aired across India on

December 27 on one of many evangelical stations funded by American

church-goers.

A recent study, claims this article, showed that over 800,000 Hindus are

converted each year by the Church and each year over US$145 billion dollars

are spent by the Church for evangelization activities world wide.
