Faith Facts
- AICOCIM concluded with leaders outlining priorities for the future mission of the Church.
- Commissions and task forces were launched to address discipleship, justice, digital engagement, and more.
- The Nagpur Declaration serves as a covenantal call to faithfulness and transformation in India.
The All India Congress on Church in Mission wrapped up in Nagpur, marking the beginning of a renewed commitment to God’s calling in India. Over 450 Christian leaders from every Indian state gathered for prayerful discussion on 13 distinct themes shaping the Church’s next steps.
Reports from each thematic track focused on equipping believers for renewed witness in areas like discipleship, justice, technological engagement, family, and theological education.
“The Congress is not the end,” said Vijayesh Lal, General Secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of India. “It is a doorway. What matters is not that we gathered, but that we go from here to our calling—to years of faithfulness.”
Lal revealed the draft of the Nagpur Declaration, intended as a statement of Christian witness and a covenant of enduring commitment for churches throughout the nation.
Several new commissions—including those focused on discipleship, justice, digital innovation, pastoral care, and families—were introduced as part of EFI’s ongoing mission and anniversary celebrations. These groups are designed to build unity and resilience amid new challenges facing the Church in India.
Additionally, specialized task forces will drive efforts in evangelism, theological education, leadership, women and youth empowerment, and the responsible use of media and technology.
“These task forces will ensure that the fruit of the Congress will be the obedience in the decade to come,” Lal stated, urging the body to go forward in unity and boldness under Christ’s lordship.
At the Congress’s close, EFI leaders led prayers of thanksgiving, dedicating every commitment to God’s glory, with a vision to see families, communities, and the nation transformed through faithful Christian witness.
“The call is very simple, but it is never easy,” Lal concluded. “It is to surrender afresh to Christ, to stand with courage, and to imagine new pathways of witness for the next decade.”

- Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox encourages believers to share their faith with confidence.
- Lennox stresses that evangelism is not reserved only for preachers, theologians, or those with extensive biblical knowledge.
- Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ in daily life.
Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox is urging believers everywhere to share their faith with greater boldness and confidence. He reminds Christians that the call to witness is not limited to pastors or scholars but belongs to every follower of Christ.
“We’re all called to be witnesses,” Lennox declares. This simple truth challenges the idea that only trained experts can effectively share the gospel.
Professor Lennox emphasizes that evangelism is not about having every theological answer or delivering polished sermons. Instead, it is about living out and speaking the truth of Christ wherever God places His people.
His words come as a timely encouragement to Christians who may feel hesitant or unqualified to speak about their faith. Lennox points to the biblical calling that every believer is a witness, empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the hope within them.
