Called by God to address this situation, Worldlink is responding with the FOCUS India program. Worldlink’s strategy has always been to come alongside local Christians in the least reached areas.

All told, there are over 2,100 people groups and 1 billion people who have no significant understanding of the gospel or opportunity to respond in India.
