LEADERSHIP

Leaders with a Vision

Guided by faith, committed to God's mission and dedicated to developing transformational leaders.

Rt. Rev. Dr. Paul R Gupta
CHAIRMAN

Rt. Rev. Dr. Paul R Gupta

HBI was established in 1952 in Chennai by Dr. Paul V. Gupta, who was moved by the need for the lost and surrendered his life to reach the people of India for Christ.

His vision was to equip and mobilize men and women to take the Word of God to the unreached peoples of India.

Mrs. Malini Asirvatham
FROM THE PRESIDENT

Faithfulness for today.
Vision for tomorrow.

Thank the Lord for His doings and we praise God for His faithfulness.

We live in a VUCA world — a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous world. The driving factors to fulfill the mission of God should be Vision and Values at the Core.

Unity at all Levels. Courage and commitment to face all challenges. Agility and Availability at all times!

Friends, we need prayers to enable the ministries of HBI to be continuously engaged in the mission of God. Your prayers are invaluable and we truly count on your prayers and partnership.
