Soul Winning Church of India (SWCI)
Soul Winning Church of India is a church dedicated to preach, pray and win souls. It is also dedicated to help the abandoned and downtrodden irrespective of caste, creed and religion. It is highly committed to educate the uneducated. The seed for this church ministry was sown by Late Rev. Manuel.
It was started in obedience to God’s divine call and vision given to Late Bishop Dr. Manuel Ahimas in 1972, with the mission “Connecting people to comforting Jesus”.
He has sacrificed his time, money and energy to build God’s Kingdom according to His will. His son Bishop Dr. Ostine M.A.Paul, is the present Presiding Bishop and is serving God wholeheartedly for the expansion of God’s Kingdom.
From three children under a tamarind tree, it has now grown to 120 churches across four states of India. Under the immense guidance of the Holy Spirit, Late Bishop Dr. Manuel Ahimas started planting churches in tribal areas and villages — a mission that continues today under Bishop Dr. Ostine M.A.Paul.
Biblios Theological Seminary (BTS)
To teach and train students to be efficient witnesses for Jesus, Dr. Manuel Ahimas and Dr. Ostine M.A.Paul established Biblios Theological Seminary. The mission of this college is to raise ministers with scriptural knowledge and practical experience to be a light and salt to people who are in darkness.
Compassion to Souls
With great love and compassion to help the poor and needy, SWCI has many projects to support abandoned people. As part of the mission, we help those affected by leprosy, orphans, the elderly, and widows.
Educate the Uneducated
For the skill improvement of underprivileged people to have a better life and job opportunities, we conduct computer and tailoring training programs.
Blessing to the Society
As a part of being a blessing to society, SWCI is dedicated to serving people by providing clean water wells, conducting free medical camps, supporting rehabilitation work, and working towards establishing a mission medical clinic and a school.
