The New Covenant Ministries (NCM) is a Christian Socio Religious Society registered with the Government of India. The ministry was formed as a result of a vision the Lord had given back in the year 1994 while I was a student at southern Asia Bible College (SABC), Bangalore, India. However the vision could be realized only by 2001 when the Lord enabled me to register a trust by the name Global Socio Educational & Charitable Trust (GSECT). The trust enjoys tax exemption and FCRA privileges with the Government of India. By the Lord's guidance a missionary training center called Sathya Veda Seminary was established in the same year under the above trust to train and send young men and women to various mission fields across the nations for the work of the Lord. The ministry began to grow under the work and guidance of the Holy Spirit and by the prayers and support of God's people. As Churches were pioneered and began to grow in different parts of India, due to administrative and operational reasons, we felt the need of registering a society. And thus "The New Covenant Ministries" was formed. The trust enjoys tax exemption, and FCRA previlages with the Government of India. Since the ministry has grown in many areas by the prayers and support of God's people.

The incredible India - challenges:

Population : India, the largest Democracy in the world., with a population of 1,027,995,904 people, is the second largest populous country in the world. It is told that if the population explodes as it happens now, India would be the largest populated country in the face of the earth. Geographically India is 3,024,000 sq. kms. with 28 states and 7 union territories. Nearly 18.5% of the world population is in India, living on 2.4% of the world's surface. Over a 600 million in India live in deep poverty and over 300 million below the poverty line.

Language : India is very diverse in its language. It has more than 1,640 languages and dialects. The Government of India has accepted 18 languages as official. English enjoys associate status and is the most important language for national politics and commercial communication.

Literacy : Officially, it is 52% but functionally below 20%.

Religion : India is called as the mother land of religions, and has given birth to the major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. India also has a lot of cultic and occultic religious practices along with more than 335,000 million gods and goddesses. In population, Hindu 80.5%, Muslim 13.4%, Christian 2.3% Sikh 1.9%, other 1.8%, unspecified 0.1%. Muslim is a minority in India with a total population of 110,000,000. That means India has the highest number of Muslims than any other country in the World.

Demography : There are 6,400 castes and tribes in India and most of them belong to the backward category. 70% of the Indian population lives in more than 700,000 village communities. Only about 65,000 villages would have a Christian or a Christian congregation.

No other country or region in the world has such a diversity and concentration of unreached people. Can we close our eyes when we see such a great need? Can we stop proclaiming the good news of God's plan for man's salvation, sending His only son to die vicariously for all the humanity? He has shown us what love is and we are to show the same to our fellow beings. Hence here we stand with a vision to reach the unreached mass of people. Let us hold our hands together and make a difference in this country in our generation.
