Many people in India do not experience faith, hope, and love like God intended because they do not have a relationship with him – not because they choose not to, but because they never heard of him. Join Equip 28 in changing that!
Get To Know Us
Our Beliefs
Equip 28 has adopted the Gospel Coalition’s Confessional Statement. All our Board members and partners subscribe to this statement.
"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
The above Bible verse (1 Corinthians 13:13, ESV) is often called a “love letter.” Written by the Apostle Paul, it is part of his letter and pleading to the Corinthians emphasizing that faith, hope and love is the most crucial element of the Christian life, and without following Christ it simply cannot be achieved.
India is the world’s most populated and unreached country, with hundreds of thousands of villages and communities, many in the most remote parts of the universe, never having heard of the Gospel.
The Need for Action
"And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? "
In Romans 10:14-15 (ESV), Apostle Paul establishes the vital role of evangelism and mission work in God’s plan for salvation. Hearing the message is essential for belief and salvation, and that the message must be delivered by sent individuals.
"...How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! "
India has thousands of diverse indigenous groups with more than 1600 different native tongues – the Bible has yet to be translated in over 1500 of these languages.
Our Work
Examples
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..."
Jesus pronounces salvation for the whole world in the Great Commission )(Mathew 28:18-20, ESV). Before his ascension, he assures us we are not alone in this/our mission.
"...And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
