Read it, Understand it, analyis it, and then think about it.

where we stand?

Think again about all the persons around you!

Think again what are you doing!

Think again of, [when i said "We need to be together with hindus"]

think, if you can, work on it ,

Wake up the Kahtriya ( Hurricane slang or Buddist Entity/Concept) in you!

Abstract:

This dissertation acknowledges the need for Church PlantingMovements

among the unreached peoples of India. Of particular concern to

this study is the application of Church Planting Movement strategy to

forward caste Hindus of India.It traces the historical development of group

or people movementstrategy and then compares that strategy with

traditional missionaryapproaches in India. It shows that evangelizing

households is the primarystrategy of the New Testament and the most

appropriate strategy forinitiating Church Planting Movements. The thesis

carefully examines salvation understanding in the Hindu context and its

relationship to the caste system. All of this lays a foundation for a proper

approach to evangelization of forward caste Hindus in light of the fact that

there have been no documented Church Planting Movements among

forward caste Hindus in all of India.


The paper concludes that the best approach to facilitating a Church

Planting Movement among forward caste Hindus is by not planting

churches. As contradictory as this sounds, the paper shows that Christian

disciples remaining within Hindu culture and familial systems holds the

potential for the most indigenous approach to establishing multiplying

churches among forward caste Hindus.
