HISTORY OF NIEA

The late Dr. Abraham Philip was the founder of New India Evangelistic Association. It was his desire to train men and women for the evangelization of India that led to the founding of the New India Bible College in 1975. As graduates went to neighboring villages and started planting churches, the first of New India's 200 churches was dedicated in 1977.

Additional Bible training programs have since been developed in eight states of India. Over seven thousand men and women have received training through the various theological schools over the past thirty-three years.

The first Christian home for orphaned and neglected children was opened in 1981 with the Boys' Haven in Paippad, Kerala. At present, there are over 700 children being cared for in nineteen NIEA Christian homes in various states.

The development of new village mission schools for children who are out of reach of public education has resulted in over 3,000 kids being educated at present in 12 NIEA mission schools in Northern India
