More about the legend

Dr. K.P. Yohannan, Metropolitan of Believers Church, is committed to giving India’s youth access to education that will equip them with both the skills and values they need to succeed. Believers Church Residential School was started to help meet this goal.

Located near Believers Church’s Synod Secretariat, the school provides a model for other value-based schools around the country. Around 2,000 students currently study in the school.

“Education must facilitate these children to become leaders and strong, upstanding citizens,” says Dr. K.P. Yohannan, Metropolitan; “people who will be able to serve and lead the country in the years to come with integrity and honesty.”

K.P. Yohannan, the Indian-born founder of Gospel for Asia, is a quiet revolutionary who is leading the charge to bring the Gospel message to the “10/40 Window,” which is an area of the world that contains the largest population of non-Christians in the world – two billion of them. The area extends from 10 degrees to 40 degrees north of the equator, and stretches from North Africa across to China.

His 16,500 native missionaries are based in10 countries that include Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal and India. Each missionary goes through intense training.

In an interview at his headquarters in the Indian state of Kerela, K.P. spoke about that training which is bringing a “Revolution in World Missions.”
