Reverend Paul Devakumar will be out guest speaker tomorrow.  Reverend Paul founded India for Christ Ministries (IFCM) in 1988 with the goal to reach millions in India with the gospel of Jesus. It's a mighty, heady task: recent census reports estimate there are at least one million villages in India.
Other IFCM goals include: growing Christ disciples, planting 1,000 churches in every state of India, provide humanitarian assistance and assist economic welfare through a holistic approach.
This talk is a second step in the Missions & Outreach plan to discern God's will about forming a long term relationship with Reverend Paul. If there is broad-based support for IFCM, the Missions & Outreach team will move forward in an appropriate way. If we discern that there is not enough support for a long term relationship, we will consider this God's will in the matter.
