Southern Baptists aim for India’s conversion to Churchianity
As every year on Pentecost Sunday, the Southern Baptist-International Mission Board (IMB), set aside May 15 (Pentecost Sunday) to brainstorm strategies and pray for the conversion of India - a country where one-sixth of the world's population lives.

The International Mission Board is an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention, and aims to present the gospel to lead individuals towards faith, and attempts to initiate a church planting movement among all the people of the world.
Claiming more than 40,000 churches with nearly 16 million members, the Southern Baptist evangelical denomination, has expressed its wish to carry the light of Jesus out to the “spiritual darkness” in India and across the globe.
Besides being home to a tolerant Hindu majority, India is a great and huge mission field, having more than 600,000 unreached villages and is in a very strategic positioning to fulfill the “great commission” (to convert the gullible heathens). Its size, diversity and the Indian Government’s support to missionaries are the reasons why IMB is focusing on this country with prayer.
Southern Baptists have urged and encouraged their congregations to draw up their resources and pray strongly for India’s conversion on Pentecost Sunday (15 May).
