The Rape of India - Emailed
to us
The rape of India is done in a model similar to a military model
used to invade, occupy, control, or subjugate a population of a
given country. Intelligence is considered essential to invading a
country; language, religion, culture, etc. are some of the
variables considered. Division among the given population is
considered essential to gain political control once inside the
country. Religion can be the key variable to accomplish this.
Division of wealth, social status, ethnic diversity, etc. are also
variables that influence division of the population of a given
country.
At the present time North India is considered the core target of
evangelists in their effort of world evangelism. They justify this
to Christians by using derogatory remarks like " 900 million
Hindus are spiritual bondage" (Baptist Press 10/99) or
"900 million people lost in the hopeless darkness of
Hinduism" (Baptist Press 11/99)
North India is a major population and political center. It is also
considered the religious hub of India, the most socially deprived,
has the lowest literacy rate, having the smallest percentage of
Christians in its population as well as having immense research
done on the population. The evangelists consider Hindus in North
India as being the most accessible target in their plan for world
wide evangelism. In addition there is the added incentive of
having a Muslim population of 140 million.
The AD2000 movement uses terms such as "spy out the land and
its inhabitants" to get an accurate complete picture of
opportunities and challenges of India. They have coined the terms
PLUG, PREM and NICE to describe their goals and methodology. PLUG
refers to the target group. People in every language, urban center
and geographic division. PREM refers to the techniques to use.
Offering prayer, research must be done and utilized effectively on
the target group, an evangelist must be the catalyst to provoke
change and action and to encourage ministries and their efforts to
convert non Christians. NICE refers to how the work is to be done.
Networking, taking initiative when the movement is slowing down,
using an evangelist to speed action in evangelizing and to
encourage existing groups and cohorts in their efforts to convert
people to Christianity. (

The Gospel For Christ and The Indian Missionary Association have
put together books to help evangelists evangelize India. The
evangelists are also using information from The Anthropological
Society of India's work on ethno-graphic studies which has been
considered essential in facilitating the evangelism efforts. This
has been used to such a degree that the diverse language groups of
India have been divided into PIN codes. ( These are similar to ZIP
codes in the USA that divide the country into mailing districts.)
The ability to send evangelists that are familiar to language,
culture, etc. greatly facilitates the speed at which evangelism is
able to develop and is cost effective since tactics can be formed
at the home base which saves costly mistakes in the field.

The Christian Broadcasting Network has a splinter group that is
called
The Joshua Project. Their target is 2.2 billion people in 1685
groups that are divided into Affinity Blocks and Gateway Clusters.
Affinity groups are groups of people who have bonding of language,
religion, politics and culture. Usually there is one culture that
is dominate in the block. People clusters are people that are
closely related in name or culture so they are clustered together.
These groups usually consist of populations of over one million.
There goal is to have at least one hundred Christians or more in
every group of over 10,000 people.

There are too many evangelist groups in India to cover in this
article however; I will discuss a few of them to give a picture of
how they proliferate.
The Indian Prayer + Fellowship Association has a goal to reach all
non Christians to start cell groups. They have contacted over
16,000 houses, made almost 900 home contacts and over 1700
personal contacts. Their goal is to start cell groups than attach
a full gospel group or plant a church if needed.
They also supply tracts, literature etc. Indian Prayer And
Fellowship Association (

)
Partners International has the goal of training indigenous people
to evangelize others. They are training a Christian who has
converted to Christianity every 13 minutes. They claim planting a
church every ten hours in Asia and Africa.

)
The southern Baptists plan to have 4,700 southern Baptists working
with millions of international partners. Their goal is to have
15,000 career missionaries, 50,000 volunteers, and 1,000 southern
Baptist college grads every year. The length of service for the
college grads is to be two years. ( Baptist Press 11/22/99)
The evangelists strategy for North India includes treating Indian
missions and Indian evangelists as equal considering that India
has a strong GNP and a growing middle class. Due to the large
population base the evangelists strategy includes dividing up the
population base into smaller target groups such as women estimated
to number 487 million or girls under 15 which is estimated to
number 158 million. They plan to use literacy programs o target
the illiterate which is estimated to be 48% of the population.
They also plan to supply the Indian church with tools such as
translators, humanitarian relief, etc. so the churches can become
self sustaining and would not need outside assistance. (

The evangelists India outreach teams -hbi ministries international
India provide schools, orphanages, medical centers etc. In a six
week period outreach teams ministered to 19,000 children and
taught Hindu and Muslim students in Christian schools.
(

)
Dr. Houtsma of World Outreach Ministries stated that he has helped
train 160,000 national ministers to continue his work when he
leaves. He is targeting Jammu, Vyara, Ludhiana, etc. (
www.wo.org/
) One of the variables in training indigenous missionaries is the
decreased cost to support missionaries. A foreign missionary cost
at least $66,000 a year to support. Native missionaries cost
approximately $600 a year. This greatly decreases the cost of
evangelizing. Christian Aid.
(
www.christianaid.org/
) Native missionaries now do 90% of the work in starting churches.
These people are more effective in converting people because They
understand the language, customs, culture, etc. In addition recent
converts are often more zealous in their efforts to convert people
to their way of thinking. Hundreds of thousands of zealous
converts can also have a sever profound influences on the
political system that is in effect.
The reader of this article should be aware of the fact that these
students could be influenced toward Christianity by their
teachers. In addition orphanages can be the breeding ground for
future evangelists. In an orphanage children could be brainwashed
and conditioned during school and after school. The children in an
orphanage can have their social life controlled after school so
they only socialize with evangelists. These children have no
family or other people outside of the evangelists to look after
their welfare so they can easily be programmed.
It is interesting though sad to see the results that might occur
as the evangelists enter their last stage of evangelism in India.
You can see considerable backlash against evangelism as stated in
the newspapers. Evangelists cry to the politicians, civil right
groups and newspapers in the West.
Some questions must be asked though. Do evangelists have the right
to disrupt society, culture, religion, and the family of people in
other countries? Do people have the right to combat the attack on
the culture, etc. of their country?
I would welcome any comments or feedback on this article.
