Why RIMI?

RIMI is indigenous missions - Indians reaching India with the Partnership of God’s people from everywhere. RIMI is so 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.
