Breaking Tradition to Accomplish Vision: Training Leaders for a Church-Planting Movement

Hindustan Bible Institute (HBI), an institution founded in Chennai, India, to teach pastors and to foster church planting, over time had lost its vision. This is the fascinating story of dismantling and re-building the HBI program to return to its original vision, planting one million churches in one million Indian villages. It is accompanied by insightful and cross-cultural observations by Lingenfelter, provost of Fuller Theological Seminary.

Paul R. Gupta, Ph.D., has bee president and director of the Hindustan Bible Institute (HBI) and College in Chennai, India, since 1984 and he also pastors New Calvary Bible Church. He founded the Indian National Evangelical Fellowship in 1985, and has led a number of All-India Congresses on Church Development.
