India
A final frontier of missions
Currently, there are 1,251,898,000 individuals in India who have no access to the gospel. Yes, that’s over 1 billion people, in just one country, who haven’t heard the name of Jesus.
The largest religion within India is Hinduism, and professing Christians make up only 2.1% of the Indian population. In fact, India holds one third of all the unreached people around the world.
For this reason, we find it imperative to raise up a force of Indian missionaries who can bring the gospel to their own countrymen. So we’re translating Live School into Hindi.

By translating the Live School curriculum into Hindi, we can train Indian believers in theology, evangelism, discipleship, and church planting so that they can be sent as national missionaries to their own people.
We believe local, indigenous Indian missionaries would be extremely effective as they already know the language and culture, have an area of influence, live at the same economic level of those they are trying to reach, and know how to present the gospel in culturally relevant ways.
The portability of Live School gives believers access to Christian teaching and resources that are virtually nonexistent in India. But giving training to these Indian believers in their heart language of Hindi is an extensive process.
The translation process requires translating 4,000+ written pages, creating 3,000+ powerpoint slides, dubbing 258 video files (the equivalent of 120 two-hour movies), and mastering the audio and video for each Live School session.
We have already started the Hindi translation and have completed 23% of the project! But there is still much to be done, and you could be a part of it!
