INDIA DISCIPLESHIP NETWORK Information

Ray Hooper, President, accompanied by many others, has made more than 35 short-term trips to India during that time. We have developed a native team of trained and experienced evangelists, led by Jacob Chukka, who coordinates preacher training, discipleship training programs and encouraging self-supporting preachers and churches in South India. Since Indians have the language skills (there are 23 different languages spoken in India) and the benefit of understanding the culture, they are much more effective in preaching and teaching than Americans. IDN exists to support their efforts and encourage expansion into neighboring countries. In our target country of India, IDN provides our Indian brethren with the following types of assistance: Access to training materials and seminars - Discovery Bible Study (DBS) - Disciple Making Movement (DMM) - NewLife Behavior International (NLBI) - Garden of Praise - website and training Developing a "Global Launch Site" to evangelize surrounding nations Encouragement and mentoring Financial assistance with special projects Water wells in remote areas Bibles and study materials in Telugu and Kannada The Next Chapter
