Asian Indians are the second-fastest-growing group of immigrants to the US, as well as being the wealthiest and best-educated immigrant community. Eastern spiritual influence in America shows: There are over 3,200 Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist temples in the US, in addition to 1,600 mosques. Many Hindus long for a meaningful relationship with God instead of empty rituals, powerless deities, and hopeless effort. Most reject Christianity due to misinformation, yet many are attracted to Jesus.
Naya Jeevan (“New Life”) Project is a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ reaching South Asians in North America. Naya Jeevan is based in Florida, and we serve the Body of Christ throughout North America by offering strategies, trainings, and resources for South Asian ministry. You will find the details on all the pages of this website. Check them out and write or call with your questions!
Naya Jeevan is experiencing growth in opportunities and personnel. Yet there are ministry invitations, ideas, and needs that we are unable to fulfill due to limited financial and human resources. We have an urgent need for $2,000 in monthly financial commitments to meet current obligations and expand our ministry opportunities.
Why support Naya Jeevan financially?
- Hindus in America are overlooked as a mission field as Christians concentrate on either India itself or on Muslims in America. Without detracting from either of these needy fields, we also believe reaching Hindus in this country is crucial and biblical.
- Naya Jeevan partners with churches, other organizations, and individuals to train, disciple, and provide resources and strategies for reaching South Asians in America. We describe ourselves as largely a resourcing ministry, but our staff members and key volunteers also engage in personal direct evangelism as well.
- Our emphasis on internet evangelism to reach the countries of South Asia is cutting-edge and unique among ministries devoted to Hindu evangelism.
- As our 2010/2011 annual report indicates, we are achieving positive results in our individual ministries as well as in our partnerships with many churches and outreach groups.
- Idols on parade in American streets, churches being turned into temples and mosques, Diwali in the White House - all these show that Hinduism is influencing America at an increasing rate. The needs for workers and financial support are increasing. Naya Jeevan staff and volunteers are working month by month to reach out to South Asians at home and abroad.
