Our Mission Fields
The mission of the church is missions.Oswald J . Smith
The Indian Pentecostal Church of God, Kuwait, was formed on September 5, 1976, with a small group of believers who had come from India. From its very inception, the Church has been deeply committed to supporting mission work in India.
During the initial phase of mission involvement, a monthly amount of Rs. 500 was sent directly to three missionaries, as guided by the IPC Kerala Mission Board. At that time, this amount was sufficient to meet the house rent and basic needs of a missionary family in India. Such support typically continued for five years in one location, or until the mission work in that area became well established.
As the years progressed, the membership of the Church increased, enabling IPC Kuwait to expand its mission sponsorship by supporting more missionaries and enhancing their monthly assistance. However, due to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, all mission support had to be temporarily discontinued.
Following the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, churches in Kuwait including IPC Kuwait were re-established. In 1992, the second phase of our mission support began. During this period, IPC Kuwait extended support to several mission stations in India through the IPC Kerala Mission Board Office. In addition, God enabled us to initiate two mission stations with full financial support. By Gods grace, both of these mission fields grew to a level where they no longer required financial assistance from outside Kerala.
In 2008, IPC Kuwait conducted a detailed study on the mission landscape in India. This study revealed that mission work in India had become well-organized, allowing churches to adopt new mission fields and focus fully on ministry in specific areas.
Based on these findings, IPC Kuwait prayerfully decided to take responsibility for new areas where no prior work existed, partnering with state and regional leadership to develop mission works by sending missionaries. Today, IPC Kuwait is no longer merely a sponsor of mission activities but a partner in the mission work in India, committed to spreading the knowledge of the living and true God.
At present, IPC Kuwait supports five mission stations in India:
