Warm greetings from Udaipur! God is on the move in North India. Churches are maturing, so is the need for capable leaders. Every year God strengthens us to bless the nation through preparing leaders. Our vision is to be a “Light to the Nation”.
This we do by training young leaders who are passionate about God and God’s people. Key to our interest lies in integrating knowledge, skills and attitudes that a student will get from each program the college is offering.

Operation Mobilization
It was an important time in my life when after a short term trip to Mexico that I left University studies and went to Moody Bible Institute. I graduated two years later and give thanks. To have a similar college in Rajasthan one of the more needy places in the world comes as a great answer to prayer. I recently ministered there to the students and I thank the Lord for what HE is doing there. I pray for more students to go there and for more people to be raised up to prayer and to give to that great ministry.
