If you are not sure what to do with your life right now, but you know you want to follow Jesus and you have some kind of desire to make a difference in the world then VDS India would be a great program for you. As a student you will grow in your basic Christian knowledge, your relationship with Christ and you will learn more about the world. You will also be given opportunities to serve the local community in practical ways. At the same time you will make friends with Indian students and learn about their lives and their experiences. This will impact your life and help you discover the calling on your life. I know young people who have spent time here and as a result have dedicated their lives to Asian studies and international relations, others have become doctors, some continue with their dreams of movie producing but with an altered worldview, some become pastors, and some specifically reach out to internationals in their own hometown. I have seen some people come here and love the food and others survive on toast. But no matter what, experiencing the Kingdom of God on the other-side of the world will add a richness to your life. Furthermore the church here and there church there will be blessed by the unity that comes through relationship that surpasses national or economic status.

Please pray and consider joining us. To request an application and pastoral recommendation form leave a comment and with your email address. Applications, recommendation forms and a $150 nonrefundable deposit are due no later than July 1st. Your tuition fee is $2000 which covers the cost of your basic expenses in India and contributes to the community enabling us to keep the South Asian student’s fees at an affordable cost for them

Sincerely,
