God has called Kenosis Centre for Mission and Evangelism to serve as a catalyst for mobilizing, resourcing and training India’s churches and ministries to reach the unreached and the unreached people groups of the world. We long to see every Church in India working in partnership, both locally and globally, to reach the unreached for the Glory of God and in obedience to the Great Commission.
No Centre can do the task alone. We connect people to appropriate partners on the field and to networks and partnerships for greater effectiveness and synergy.
To establish a Centre for Mission and Evangelism, par excellence for imparting education, both theological and practical, to the people of God from all over the world, on all aspects of Christian ministry, (i) to equip God’s people for God's work with the ultimate objective of reviving Churches to reach the unreached with the gospel and (ii) to minister to the poor saints, especially those servants of God who have retired from their active ministries due to old age, sickness, etc and to the persecuted saints in different parts of India.
The task of Christian mission in the 21st century is still mostly in the so-called 10/40 window, this does not mean that Europe, Southern Africa or Latin America no longer need to hear the gospel message. But we do feel that people who have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ should have some priority over those who have heard it many times.
We also aim to provide a range of good materials to help Churches in their mission task, including books, audio-visuals, brochures and studies on aspects of mission.
As a registered Charity we depend on free-will contributions from members, well- wishers and all who support our vision and mission.
Support comes from both Churches in India as well as from individuals. Contributions may be sent (payable to KCME) to us at:
- The proposed Mission Centre will be run by a team of God’s servants from different backgrounds including Mission Leaders, Theologians, Administrators, Information Technologists, Engineers, Medical professionals, Marketing professionals and Christian businessmen. The executive committee will consist of two persons from each of the above disciplines.
- It will be housed in a building, either taken on rent or donated by those who share the same vision of inward revival and of outward evangelism.
- The residential school will run on the Indian Gurukul, Incarnational Gospel model whereby teachers will disciple students through their personal lives. The students will be practically equipped for the New Testament ministries comprising of apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic and pastoral teaching ministries
- Expenses for running this college will be met by donations from those people of God who share the same vision of revival and of evangelism. Tuition fees will be collected from students. Sincere and trustworthy students who are not in a position to pay will also be admitted. Donors’ will be informed how their donation has been spent and will in return be allowed a greater degree of involvement in the affairs of the Bible College.
- Courses for the duration of one year will be offered.
- Besides an Evening College will be instituted, for the working persons so they can attend to their secular professions during the day while perhaps staying in the College hostel.
Qualifications for the Students to be admitted
Kenosis Centre for Mission and Evangelism seeks born again believers called of God to a life of committed and consecrated for Christian service to be students of the Centre (Luke 9:23-24). As such, being a student in KCME is not a personal right but a God-given privilege.
The student whatever his or her age, must be willing to serve the Lord Jesus Christ unconditionally and unreservedly and submit to the academic and spiritual discipline, and theological excellence of this Centre.
The key to theological and ministerial success is, “Study to show yourself approved to God,
a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Tim 2:15
Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matt 16:24).
Student Commitment before joining the Kenosis Centre
A long term commitment, to see an unreached people transformed by the Good News of Jesus Christ, students should be prepared to serve in villages apart from towns. Specifically, it is a commitment to see an indigenous self-reproducing community of believers planted among an unreached people. In due course we would expect that this indigenous community of believers would in turn reach out cross-culturally themselves.
It so happens that many unreached peoples are also poor, and for that reason alone they deserve our attention, because the gap between rich and poor is far too wide, and growing.
Kenosis strives for Biblical and contextually relevant theological studies so that the students will make a meaningful and significant impact in their respective contexts for the glory of God.
