Faith Bible College started in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, in 1999. Over the years over one hundred students have completed the part-time evening Bible training. They are now equipped to help their local churches in ministry and outreach. During this time they have also done evangelism in the neighbouring villages and as a result a couple of churches have been planted. As an evening college, the training becomes available to many who work during the day and would have no other access to such biblical and theological training.

GACM took on the whole cost for the first year without being paid to provide the training. The first 17 students were professionals who said it must be continued. The support of two generous individuals has enabled this important training to continue. We would value support from more individuals or churches to sustain and grow this training, enabling more to be equipped and sent out into lay or full-time ministry in Tamil Nadu and beyond.
