What is the Project?
Kachhwa Transformation Ministries (KTM) is based at Kachhwa Christian Hospital, a hospital originally established by missionaries over 100 years ago, and with which Crosslinks has had links since 1928.
KTM’s desire is to meet the spiritual, physical and social needs of one of the most deprived communities of Northern India. Their vision is to bring the love of Jesus Christ to that area, through the planting and growth of local churches that are healthy, reproducing and continuing to multiply. The members of these local churches are the agents of God’s Kingdom, serving as salt and light to transform the communities around them in every dimension – spiritual, social, economic, educational and physical.
The last six years have seen an unprecedented number of people from all walks of life turning to Christ in North India. There is a remarkable work of God, which shows the extraordinary openness of people at this time of great change in this part of India. The challenge is to sustain the momentum of church planting, which in itself requires tremendous effort and resources. There is, however, an even greater challenge – to help these new believers to grow into disciples and their churches to become healthy and growing.
Objectives
Over the next three years, it is hoped that the Lord will have enabled the following to be achieved through this initiative:
- To have trained 600 potential house church leaders by enabling the running of a three week leadership induction course, six times per year. Leadership Training is one of KTM’s six areas of focus (Spiritual Transformation, Essential Clinical Services, Community Health, Development and Education being the others)
- To extend KTM’s ministry to the surrounding districts which currently aren’t reached by their ministry. The numbers are mind-boggling: Starting with the 100 villages immediately around Kachhwa, the vision is to extend to the five surrounding Districts with 100 Blocks, 10,000 villages and 10 million people! So far work has begun in 49 of these 100 blocks, so there are 51 still to reach.
