CEA is a church-planting ministry with the objective of planting churches among the unreached people groups of Northern India. The persisting dependency of churches on CEA for funds has been a matter of concern for long. As a result of dependency and the consequent fmancial burden on CEA, the organization is not able to plant as many churches as they wish to plant. The literature review sought to examine the literature of the biblical teachings on church finance. It analyzes the Old and the New Testament writings on giving. The literature review also examines various views on dependency. Findings suggest various reasons for dependency. Prominent among them is the low state of income in the dependent churches as a result of the poor giving pattern of the members. The study also examines the strategies of two other indigenous church-planting organizations to see how they are planting self-supporting churches. After considering all these factors, the study suggests certain strategies to overcome the CEA churches' dependency. These strategies would be applicable to other North Indian churches who are also affected by dependency.

Her knowledge in the area of research was an additional blessing for me. I would like to express appreciation to our children, Stanley and Finley, who allowed Dad to be away from home for many weeks for classes and research-related work. X Kurian 1 CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM Introduction I work with Christian Evangehcal AssembUes (CEA), a church-planting ministry in North hidia. One of my major concerns about the north Indian churches is the issue of economic dependency. These churches depend on outside support for their continuance in the ministry of mission. I am constantly concerned about how to make these churches financially self-supporting. The way CEA operates now it will never be able to plant as many churches as it wishes to plant due to limited financial resources. Dependency is one of the major issues that slow down the church growth in North India. This issue needs to be addressed immediately. This research looked at Christian Evangelistic Assemblies as a case study to determine how grave this issue is to seek out any possible solutions and to discover how the local churches in North India can be financially self-supporting. CEA was founded in 1991, with one of its main objectives being "to disseminate the truths and teachings of the Holy Bible" (Memorandum 1) and to plant churches among the unreached people groups in North India.

  • "An Evaluation of the History of Pentecostal Dalits in Kerala"
    INTRODUCTION Research and studies have recently been initiated on the under-privileged people, namely, the Dalits in India. Though it is an encouraging fact, yet more systematic and classified studies are required because the Dalits are located over a wide range of areas, languages, cultures, and religions, where as the problems and solutions vary. Since the scholars and historians have ignored the Dalits for many centuries, a general study will not expose sufficiently their actual condition. Even though the Dalit Christian problems are resembling, Catholics and Protestants are divided over the issues. Some of the Roman Catholic priests are interested and assert their solidarity with the Dalit Christian struggle for equal privilege from the Government like other Hindu Dalits. On the other hand, most Protestant denominations are indifferent towards any public or democratic means of agitation on behalf of Dalit community. They are very crafty and admonish Dalit believers only to pray and wait for God’s intervention. However, there is an apparent intolerance in the Church towards the study and observations concerning the problems of Dalit Christians because many unfair treatments have been critically exposed. T.N. Gopakumar, the Asia Net programmer, did broadcast a slot on Dr. P.J. Joseph, a Catholic priest for thirty -eight years in the Esaw Church, on 22 October 2000. 1 Joseph advocated for the converted Christians that the Church should upgrade their place and participation in the leadership of the Church. The very next day, 1 T.N.Gopakumar, Kannady [Mirror-Mal], Asia Net , broadcast on 22 October, 2000. 1 with the knowledge of the authorities, a group of anti-Dalit Church members, attacked him and threw out this belongings from his room in the headquarters at Malapparambu, Kozhikode, where he lived for about thirty years.

  • Rethinking “Rethinking” by H
    Gospel Ferment in India among both Hindus and Christians Rethinking “Rethinking” by H. L. Richard n the early and middle decades of the twentieth century there was something of a “Rethinking Movement” in Indian Christianity. From Ithe discussions stirred up by the remarkable leaders of that movement, “Rethinking” in the context of Indian church history refers to concerns to develop deeply Indian (contextual, in today’s terminology) expressions of biblical life and faith as against traditional patterns of Christian discipleship which were introduced to India from abroad. The most noted expression of the Rethinking Movement, which gave it its name, was the book Rethinking Christianity in India. This Rethinking book was prepared in anticipation of the Tambaram International Missionary Conference held just outside Madras in 1939. The Rethinking Group (as the contributors to that volume and some of their friends are commonly known) objected severely to numerous aspects of the agenda of church and mission leadership both internationally and especially in India. More explanation of the Rethinking Group and their concerns will be presented later in this paper. The paper seeks to outline a broad history of Rethinking, considering both forerunners and descendents of the Rethinking Group as well as that group itself. The topic is vast and so a focus is placed on conferences and organizations specifically concerned with analysis of the work of Christ in India. The point of the paper is to rethink the Rethinking agenda and analyze its continued relevance at the present time.1 Three different types of “Rethinking conferences” will be considered, with examples from each being introduced at some length.

  • Asian Churches As Servants of God
    EVANGELICAL REVIEW OF THEOLOGY VOLUME 12 Volume 12 • Number 4 • October 1988 Evangelical Review of Theology p. 291 1 Editorial Renewal to Relevance In many countries, particularly in the West, the institution of the Church is under attack. The process of secularization has spread so much that Church’s relevance is assessed by its participation in secular affairs of the world. An unexpressed thesis of the articles in this issue of ERT is rather the reverse: that only as the Church renews itself does its relevance become evident. In some of the Two-Thirds World countries, we are slowly realizing that what we need primarily is not social reform but Church renewal, not so much political leaders as servants of God. Church is the hope of every nation. Both for the Church and for the individual disciple of Christ, renewal leads both to mission and relevance. I think that it is generally true that the world expects the Church to do her work, namely, to be God’s prophet in a godless world. As the prophet Ezekiel says, if the trumpet makes a strange noise, how can the soldiers prepare themselves for the war? If the Church does involve in activities which are not germane to her own being, how can the world recognize her Master’s voice? Dr. Lim’s article on the understanding of Church as the servant of the world; Dr. Houghton’s article on the Indian caste system, which raises the basic question of human dignity and justice, and of man’s creation in the image of God; Sam Vassell’s emphasis on personal purity as an authenticating mark of the gospel; Samuel Escobar’s concern for Latin American missionary enterprise; Brian Fargher’s analysis of the charismatic movement; Dr.

  • Theological Education After Communism: the Mixed Blessing of Western Assistance
    THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION AFTER COMMUNISM: THE MIXED BLESSING OF WESTERN ASSISTANCE MARK ELLIOTT This paper was delivered at the Consultation on Theological Education and Leadership Development in Post-Communist Europe, Oradea, Romania, 5 October 1994. In the summer of 1994 staff of St. Petersburg Christian University, which in fact is a seminary, sifted through literally tons of books donated from the West, ferret­ ing out the occasional title relevant for a theological library. On the one hand, the task required time consuming sorting through mountains of boxes for the relatively rare gems in the rough. On the other hand, the shipping had been donated , several thousand useful titles were being gleaned from the heap, and seminarians would make use of a fair portion of the rest that the school would pass over. And so it is with Western assistance to theological education in the East, writ large: a mixed blessing. The question is: how help should and should not be given, and how help should and should not be received. In February 1993 Overseas Council for Theological Education and Missions, Peter Deyneka Russian Ministries, and Wheaton College's Institute for East-West Christian Studies hosted a meeting of evangelical theological educators in Moscow. Insights drawn from that conference , plus seminary site visits and library research, served as the basis for a survey of the current state of Protestant theological educa­ tion in the former Soviet Union . Three findings of that investigation follow. Mark Elliott is Professor of History and Director of the Institute for East-West Christian Studies, Billy Graham Center, at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois.
