About Us
Statement of Faith.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ (God the Son), who is fully human and fully God, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return and glory.
We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ is essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling all Christians are enabled to live a godly life and proclaim the Gospel.
We believe in the resurrection of the saved to the resurrection of life and of the lost to the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Life to the world is vital to reach the nation of India for Christ due to the following distinct reasons:
- Identification: The nationals easily identify with the locals and they know their culture and language.
- Contextualization: This is essential and biblical. Since the nationals understand the languages, cultures and concepts of the people and their faith, they are able to develop appropriate and effective strategies to preach the whole Gospel clearly. A ‘Western’ evangelistic style is unlikely to touch the nationals and their needs.
- Access and receptivity: Since the nationals know the languages and cultures, they are easily accessible to the local people and they are more receptive to the Gospel presentations.
- Continuity: The nationals do not need VISAs or furloughs. They can serve in any closed countries! This is their home and no one can deport them.
- Economics: A native missionary can be sent out at a fraction of the cost of a Western missionary (about $75,000 per year). In fact, the average cost is only $720 to $1,200 per year.
Our Foundation
Values
Christ before Career
We have absolute trust and faith in the Word of God, and we are committed to honor Christ by obeying everything that He commands us to do, and living humbly and sacrificially.
Character before Ministry
We are committed to develop Christ-like leaders through various innovative missional programs so that people will see Christ and want to follow Him for doing His will.
Unity before Growth
We are committed to being truly evangelical, inter-denominational and multi-cultural.
People before Program
We are committed to build people on the basis of their specific call and gifts in order to develop various ministries to meet the needs of people in the community. Disciple making is the number one priority of RIMI churches (Trinity Church).
Ownership before Organization
We are committed to establish autonomous and self-supporting churches and church-based projects. This is ownership, and we avoid long-term dependency of the national church.
Unreached before Reached
We are committed to reach the unreachedstrategically, with the help of indigenous leadership.
