DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
— DR. ALEXANDER PHILIP
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
New India Evangelistic Association
We congratulate you on your decision to join the New India Bible Seminary. There is no higher calling than Christian ministry for the Lord in which His people dedicate their lives in sacrificial service to advance God’s Kingdom.
The goal of New India Bible Seminary is to serve the Church of Jesus Christ by training young men and women to walk with God, to interpret and communicate God’s Word, and to minister to God’s people. Christ Himself is the supreme model for Christian ministry and it is He who said, “… I am among you as the one who serves” (Lk. 22:27.) Any ministry that manifests the presence of Christ is characterized by the humble giving of oneself to meet the needs of others.
We stand on the authority of the Holy Bible as the verbally inspired Word of God. We encourage students to become proficient in the use of God’s infallible Word.
We will do everything we can to equip you for the Lord’s work. On your part, you must demonstrate mature Christian faith, discipline and a sense of destiny under divine leadership. “The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.” (Eph. 4:11-13)
Young people from all denominations are welcome to study here. Our beloved nation, India, as well as other regions of South Asia, needs young men and women filled with the knowledge of the Holy Spirit to proclaim the redemptive gospel of Jesus Christ.
I pray that God may lead you in His perfect way as you consider joining this seminary.
