This is the insightful story of Hindustan Bible Institute (HBI), a Bible institute founded in Chennai, India to teach pastors and to foster church planting, which over time had lost its vision. Bobby Gupta's story is of the dismantling and re-building of the HBI program to return to its original vision; planting one million churches in one million Indian villages, effectively reaching that massive nation for Christ.
Breaking Tradition is largely Gupta's story, but Sherwood Lingenfelter, Provost and Senior Vice President of Fuller Theological Seminary, comments after each chapter, giving his perspective and applications to the larger world of evangelism and church planting. Helpful research and discussion exercises follow each chapter.
