Transformational Training
Ministry in India
The Rabha Baptist Convention (RBC), along with the other conventions listed above, have seen an increase of new families from another faith move into the region. Through their work as traders, farmers and labourers, they come in direct contact with the Rabha believers daily and even welcome the open conversations about life and faith. These new neighbours have been asking and talking about similarities between the two faiths; a few have even decided to follow Jesus!
The RBC and local believers want to make the most of this opportunity to share their faith in Jesus and have asked for us to partner with them in their training. To help equip and mobilise this emerging intercultural workforce from among our traditional ministry partners, we are providing training in areas to do with culture and mission, practical evangelism and topics specific to their neighbours. Only 4% of Rabhas profess to follow Jesus but they have a heart to share the good news of Jesus with their neighbours.
With intercultural team member R’s research into a mission mobilisation program in the broader Asian context and our long-term partnership with the
Rabha, we are excited to come alongside our friends and help them feel confident in sharing their faith contextually.
This project covers the following costs for intercultural training programs held one-to-two times per year in North-East India:
