The Himalayan Baptist
Seminary
(An Associate Member of ATA)
The Himalayan
Baptist Seminary is born with a specific purpose to train young men and
women who will take up the new challenges in the mission fields in South East
Asia.
Its vision and mission is to prepare Christian workers for the effective
ministry in this millennium. This new challenge is: Who will plan the New
Testament Church in the areas where there are no churches?
Just in India alone
there are 1.2 billion people. There are 2501 total people groups in India and
the 2190 people groups still unreached. The HBS family wants to be part of
reaching these unreached.
Why Siliguri?
Siliguri, India, is a very strategic location for training and sending the
church planters in South East Asia. It is also known as the Gateway to
Unreached Asia.
To the north is Buddhist-dominated Sikkim and Tibet (China). To
the south is Muslim-dominated Bangladesh. To the west is the least-reached
region of Hindu-dominated north India. To the northwest is the former Hindu
Kingdom of Nepal. To the northeast is the Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan. One can
reach these neighboring countries from the HBS within 45 minutes to 5 hrs.
Therefore, Siliguri is the most strategic location for theological training and
reaching the unreached South East Asian countries.
The HBS students will be
provided with ample opportunities to reach the unreached in these neighboring
countries.
